To those who have seen and examined the Weck-
y Register, any description of its plan is deemed
super1uous. It's merits or dement's seen on the
slightest inspection. And, while, with an honest
pride, the editor observes that many of the most
distinguished characters in the United States, with
some in Europe and souti.America, have, with the
most hattering encomums upon him, decidedly ap-
proved of its pan and execution, there also
ny that he feels confident would be glad TO receive

they have heard of it at all: TO SUCH the following
brief outline Of It's contents is respectfully offered:

er parts of the world

statistics, manufactures, &c. &c. with exhibitions OF
the resources Of states, &c--their industry aud ma
tural advantages, and the like--on broad and COM
prehensvc scale In boies, is proper 20 observe,
that parry question, excluded and that nothing
is inserted with e!ectioneerng local views while
personal character is never assailed. The cast OF
the paper is certainly republicnn--not in the mean
ing OF the torn applied to class Of politicians IN
the United States, but the principle OF the eons-
tuition thereof; and is decidedly and actively opposed
to the principle OF mousrchy and its friends The
advantages OF our system OF government are duly
appreciated, and the horrors and hypocrct OF des-
ponsm exposed that we may love and clcsve to she
republic the ark Of our safety and happiness.

the scicnces--aith some amusing articles, and

icle." as they occur.

his work, the editor disolaims any wish TO IN
interfere with the local newspapers, so important
and useful to convey local information to their read
ers, and which he is ever glad TO hear are lbersy
supported.
However extensive the range thus stated may ap.
pear, il is indeed, considerably within the scope OF
the work. In the WHOLE il affords the mos, perfect
co-emporaneous view Of men AND things that ever
was published - icing made up With the most per-
severing and unweared attention to preserve ever!
