VWALDIE'S LITERARY OMNIBUs-Novel
w and Important Literary Enterprise.
Novels, Tales, Biography, Voyages, Travels,
and the News ofthe Day.--It was one of the
greatest objects of Waldie'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-
cesslble; we gave and shall continue to give
In the quarto library volume weekly for two
cents day; we now propose to give a vol
ume in the same period for less than four cents
a week, and to add as piquent seasoning to
the dish, 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 go still further in the
matter of reduction, 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 so great a favorite will continue to make
its weekly visits, and to be issued in form
for binding and preservation, and its price

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 great good to enliven and en-
tighten the family circle, and to give to it, at.
an expense which shall be no consideration to
any, a mass of reading that in book form would
alarm't the pockets of the prudent, and to do IL

EDROSPECTUS OF THE ma U.NEE EX-
H- PRESS.-The EXPRESS will be devoted
to the interests Of the section of the country
in which it is located, and will be conducted
in such manner as to disseminate such in
formation as shall be deemed interesting and
valuable to its readers. -S-t@
In regard to the political course to be pur-
sued by the EXPRESS, its proprietors would
observe, that the day is passed, when it would
be considered reproach to periodical pub
lication of this kind, to refrain from the dis
cussion ofmatters ofa party political character,
and that in their opinion the paper may be
filed with matter other than exciting political
disquisitions, 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 entirely
excluded from the columns oft Express; on
the contrary, its conductors consider them
selves atliberty to anmadvert freely upon tho
acts and doings of all parties. as well as to
pursue independently any political course
which may be considered beneficial to tho
cause of equal rights, and republican institu-
tlons.
The proceedings of the National and State
legislatures-the current news of the day. and
all matters either of general or local interest.
will be freely discussed and recorded in the
