w and Inpportant Literary Enterprise!
Novels, Tales, Biography, Voyages, Travels,
and the News ofthe Day.--It was one of che
greatest objects Of sWaldie's Library to
make good reading cheaper, and to bring lit
erature to every mans door. That object has
been accomplished; we have given to books
wings, and they have flown to the uttermost
parts of our vast continent, carrying society
to the secluded, occupation to the literary, in~
formation to all. We now propose still fur
ther to reduce prices, and render the access
to literary banquet more than twofold ac-
cessible; we gave and shall continue to give
in the quarto library volume weekly for two
cents day; we now propose to give vol
ume in the same period for less than four cents
week, and to add as piquent seasoning to
the dish, a few columns of short literary mat
ters, and summary Of the news and events
of the day. We know by experience and
calculation that we can 60 still further in the
matter Of ofreduction, and we feel that there is
still verge enough for us to aim at offering to
an interesting literary appetite that mental
food which it Graves.
The Select Circulating Library, now as
ever go great favorite will continue to make
it's weekly visits, and to be issued in form
for binding and preservation, and it's price

huge sheet Of the size of the largest newspa-
pers of America, but on very superior paper,
also filled with books of the newest and most
entertaining, though in their several depart
ments of Novels, Tales, Voyages, Travels,
&c., select in their character, joined with
reading such as usually should fill weekly
newspaper. By this method we hope to ac-
complish a great good to enliven and en-
tighten the family circle, andto give to it, at
an expense which shall be no considerationto

In regard to the political course to be pur-
sued by the EXPRESS, its proprietors would
observe, that theday is passed, whenit would
be considered a reproach to periodical pub

and that in their opinion the. paper may be
filled with matter other than exciting political
dispositions, which shall be Of equal impor-
tance to its readers, and to the country at
large., In making these remarks, it is not to
be understood, that politics are TO be eentirely
