ING freight in the shape Of advertisement
10 ship for the country trade, would Dc
we'll to send them on board our clipper, a.
she is up for every city in the U. States
and all intermediate landings.
We reiterate TO those fanatical pirates
who cruise under the black flag--who op.
pose slaxery because they are themselves
the slaves Of 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 Hotel keepers we recommend our
paper; in every engagement her comman-
der will be first to lead on the 6oarders!!
TO the Heads Of Families the trim APP
earance Of our craft will be an object Of
interest. Most married folks have expe-
rienced the effects Of light-sparring.
We shall endeavor to make those SNUG
glers, the Bachelors, heave to--show them
the advantages of the proper "compaaion-
Way," recommending double state-room,
with BIRTH, &c.
We Shall send our boat aboard Theatri-
Gals and other amusements; those pretty
pleasure-boats, which make our passage
over the lake oflike so delightful. DANG
ing we shall especially encourage; as We
conceive tina, the safety OF vessel often
depends upon keeping both pumps going.
On first launching the "Picayune" we
promised TO carry press Of sail in case
we were warranted by sale from the
press. Through all the storms which have
ragged since she first sailed she has borne
up under full sales, without ever being
taken aback, and is now ranked A. /.
atall the insurance and other offices of the
city. Our policy still holds good, and we
never intend it shall run out.
Dropping our figure, and returning to
plain language, we will now add that we in
tend to make the Picayune q vehicle of
fun, wit, humor and sentiment, and lit
tie of every thing that's goingo 1t shall
be our delight to crack jokes, to tell stories
in our own way, to ridicue 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-
hess which yainly seeks to benefit the pub
ic by wounding the feelings OF individuals.
A portion of our paper will be occupied
With comprehensive notices of all pass
ng events-giving the pith ofthe news Of
he day, without burdensome details.
We eschew partisan politics; yet We
hall continue to express our opinions i'm
on all public measures. Follies
n government as well as in social life are
,pen 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 q glance the min
iNt"re 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
.ronage which has hitherto been so cor
1ially extended to US.
The Weekly Picaywae" will be publish
