By its zeal in the cause of progress, and its staunch devotion 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
oppressed, whose wrongs will always meet with sympathy and
aposure.

Enoouraged by their success, and anxious to extend the sphere of
their Political Influence and Social Utility, the Proprietors have re-
solved on the proposed Enlargement of 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 •f the DISPATCH wilt still continue to be enriched
by the powerful contributions of
. _

_ .
" PUBLICOLA." " C tUSTIC," " CENSORTUS," 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 be 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
ill next year be printed.
