line freight in the shape advertisements
to ship for the country trade, would do
well 10 send them on board our clipper, as
she is up for every city in the U. States,
and all intermediate landings
We reitetate to those ianatical pirates
who cruise under the black hag---who op.
pose slavery because they are themselves
The slaves Of ig ignorance and superstition
who pretend to rub clean the upper decks
Of their neighbors with a holy stone---we
say look out for breakers.
To Hntel keepers we recommend our
paper; in every engagement her conman-
der will be first to lead on the boarderS!
To the Heads Of Families the trim APP
pearance OF our craft will be an object Of
interest. Most married folks have expe-
rienced the effects Of lgAt-Spdrring.
We shall endeavor TO make those smug-
gers. the Bachelors, heave to--Show them
the advantages ofWhe proper "componion-
roay," recommending double state-room,
with births, &M
We shall send our boat aboard Theatri-
Gals and other amusenenis; those pretty
pIeasure.b boats, which make our passage
over the lake of like so delightful. Dane
ing we shall especially encourage; as we
conceive that the safety OF a vessel often
depends upon keeping both pumps going.
On first launching the "Picdyune" we
promised 10 carry press Of sail in case
we were warranted by sale from the
press. Through all the storms which have
ragged since she first. Saiied she has borne
up under full sales, withou, ever being
taken ahack, and is now ranked A. I.
at all the insurance and other offices OF the
city. Our policy still holds good, and we
never intend it shall run ont.
Dropping our figure, and returning to
plain language, we will now add that we in
tend TO make the Picayune a vehicle of
fun, wit, humor and sentiment, and lit
lie of every thing that's gongon. 1t shall
be our delight to crack jokes, to tell stories
in our own way, to ridicule folly. and to cor
rect the manners Of the age by exciting
laughter against them. In this, however,
we shall endeavor to avoid that licentious-
ness which vainIy seeks to benefit the pub
ic by wounding the feelings ofindviduals.
A portion Of our paper will be occupied |
With comprehensive notices of all pass
ng events-giving the pith of the news Of
he day, without burdensome details.
We eschew partisan politics; yet we
shall continue to express our opinions i'm
partially on all public measures. Folies
N government as we'll as in social life are
open TO ridicule; and when the humor
'eizes US, we shall not spare them, on
whichever party the censure may fall.
All local occurrunces of general interest
shall be promptly noticed, so that our dis
tant readers may see at glance the min
iature world which is congregated in the
With this expose of our intentions, and
determined TO endeavor with unremitting
industry TO fulfil them, we look with con-
confidence for continuance Of that pa
tronage which has hitherto been so cor
daily extended to us.
The "Weekiy Picdyune" will be publish
ed every Monday morning, at $500 per
annum, payable in all cases in advances;
and will contain four additional columns,
embracing all the news of the week, with
Whatever of interest transpires on Sun
