circuiation in various parts OF the United States,

the work is pretty generally known, tits unne-
cessary to say much, at this time, in elucIda-
ton of the manner in which il is conducted.

is the primary object of the editor, TO unfold
the crueities, the injustice, and the dangerous
tendency, OF the system OF african Ndvery, as
it exists IN our country to mark the progress
OF events, III relation it and 10 draw the attcn
ton OF the American people to the subject;
that they may be induced to reflect more upon
il, and devise plan for its final and complete
exunguishment in this Republic. But he finds
it impossible to give, IN so small 4 compass, as
detailed view of the subject as its importance
demands. The length OF time that must ne
| cessarly elapse, between the different periods
OF issuing the respective Numbers, also, pre-
vents his taking as active and interesting part

lonce, as the present state of things requires.
In order, therefore, to obvale these difficulties,
he proposes to issue " eekiy PAPER, upon tie
