ENLARGED,

On and after SUNDAY, the 7th of JANUARY, 1849, to
SIXTEEN PAGES,
CONTAINING
SIXTY-FOUR COLUMNS,
OF THE
SAME SIZE AND FORM AS AT PRESENT, WITHOUT
ANY EXTRA CHARGE
rY its zeal in the cause of progress, and its staunch de , otion to
the interests of the People, the DISPATCH has become a terror to
the upholder of abuses', and a powerful auxiliary on behalf of the
onnres.ed, whose wrongs will always meet with sympathy and
saposnre.
Encouraged by their success, and anxious to extend the srhere of
their Political Influence and Social Utility, the Proprietors have re-
solved on the proposed Enlargement pf the DISPATCH, which here-
after will answer the purpose of

FOUR NEWSPAPERS,
and thus accommodate four readers at one and the same time

The columns of the DISPATCH will still continue to be enriched
by the powerful contributions of
" PUBLICOLA." " CAUSTIC," " CENSOTHUS," ELIZA. COOK,
and other writers eminently distinguished for their literary attain-
ments, and whose opinions have ever advocated the cause of the
People, in opposition to tyranny and injustice. It may also he ob-
served, that the POOR MAN will always receive LEGAL ADVICE
and assistance, as heretofore, from the DISPATCH.
A beautifUl New Type has been cast, on which the DISPATCH
Will next year be printed.
Advertisers are respectfully reauested to forward their Advertise-
ments on or before Friday Afternoon, otherwise no attention can be
paid to them for the current number.
