PROSPECTUS.

The publishers do intend make the Register polt
cal paper Their design to present their patrons with
impartial and authentic record of the important domes
tic and foreign occurrences.
The three classes of persons whose advocate profess
be- we consider the very and Republic We
do view them having separate interests but believe that
whatever tends to promote the prosperity of will con
butte the welfare of the Others Such being creed
shall do every thing power TO advance the of
those whose pead and labor zeaouy enlist the
feelings of readers in favor of the 'American SYSTEM,
the only road by which this Commonwealth attain that
great and glorious rank which she destined TO the
scale of Nations, and by which she become the full
of the term, free and Independent.
Considerable attention will be paid the Literary Depart
of the Register An extensive library embracing the
best Reviews and Magazines Of the day, will, ater
Selves with the promised assistance of correspondents render
this portion of the paper interesting particularly the La
dies whose encouragement and appreciation hope be
fortunate as to obtain.
The publishers have had experience in conducting
Newspaper and they have the vanity believe that if they
with sufficient encouragement they will be able pre-
their patrons with which will blend with
sruction which will be useful family paper, and which will be
free from the objection made against of the papers ofhe
present time, that they filled with violent personal abuse
Those who satisfied with the which the
Register may be conducted, will be liberty withdraw at
the expiration of the first six months
The Register will be published every Saturday, the mod
price of Two Dollars per annu, payable half yearly in
advance-or Two Dollars and Fifty the end of the
year.

The above prospectus was issued about the middle
of August last, and we cannot refrain from embracing
the first opportunity to express our sincere gratitude
for the very attering it has met with, which
has enabled to commence the publication of the
REGISTER with most respectable patronage, and
with the pleasing prospect of it having circulation
far beyond what has attended any paper hitherto pub
lishcd in this State.
To the intelligent Manufacturers and Mechanics of
this Borough and its vicinity, who compose a very
large portion of subscribers, tender par
ticular thanks for their liberal encouragement to re-
pay which VIC promise TO use our utmost exorons.
We regard their interest the general interest," for if
they flourish every other class of people shares in their
prosperity. The resources which we expect soon TO
have at command, will enable us to lay before them
much useful and interesting information relating to
their concerns.
1t is not intended, however, in devotion to the
interests Of the manufacturer and the mechanic, to
overlook Or in the slightest degree neglect, the claims
OF other classes of our patrons. What may be very
