PROSPECTUS

In consequence oil the popularity which
our daily paper has gained in ali sections
OF the country, aud The numerous de
/ mands we are receiving from all quarter:
: Tor weekly journal, VIC have determined
Oh starting one OF that description, 10 be
entitled The The " ERKLY PIcAYUNEn
10 adoptth same hguratlve style used
= In our lirst prospectus, we have hlted oul
the "TtcdyuRe" Tor more distant voyages,
and lreIghel her with all sorts OF notions
IN the shape OF reaota6tes; and il the same
success attends her which she has met
with while coaStlng nearer home, we shall
doubtless receive rich returns. .#,..E
To prepare our lille craft for the more
OK cnded sea on which She is destined 10
move, we have pun on her many additions
and improvements. Some oil her old TIM
ners have been taken out and replaced by
bew-she has greater measurement tore
and ait greater length oil beam, and her
sheets have Ueen materially enlarged.
Notwlth> tandlng the Increased size, the
public may rest assured thai the 'P,cdyune'
viii lie enabled 10 WORK in Sh0di acaier with
the same lacllty as heretofore, and form
channels OF communication which il would
be folly Tor the dull heavy vessels al pres.
ent sailing this port 10 navigate.
Commission merchants and others hav-
ing freight IN the shape of advertisements
oil ship for the country trade, would do
well 10 send them On board our clipper, as
she is up ior every city lnsthe H.. States,
aud ali Intermediate landings.
We reilerate TO those ianatical pirates
who cruise under the 6t1ck Ilag-who OPP.
pose slavery because they are themselves
the slaves OF Ignorance and superstition
who pretend 10 rub ciean the upper decks
Of their neighbors with a holy stone-we
say look out Tor breakers
10 Hotel keepers we recommend our
! paper; IN every engagement her conman
der Will be first TO lead Oh the O0arderS!
10 the Heads or Families the Trim an
pearance oi our Grant Will be an object OF
interest. Most married lUikS have eXpe-
rIenced the ELECTS OF nght-spurring.
We shall endeavor to make thuse smup-
gIerS, the Bachelors, heave to-show them
The advantages OF The proper ''cOmpaSion-
~dy,' recommending double state-room,
with 6irLtS, &c. # 9.
! We shall send our boat aboard Theutri-
Gals and other anusements; those pretty
: pleasure boats, which make our passage
over the lake OF like 50 denghtlul. dane
ing we shall especially encourage; as We
conceive that the safety OF vessel often
depends upon Keeping Ooth pumps going.
On first launching the "Picqyune" we
promised TO carry press u Satl 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 SAFES, without ever beng
taken ahack, and is now ranked A. /. |
al tall 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 10
plain language, we viii now add that we in .
lend 10 make the Picayune a vehicle Of
fun, wit, humor and sentiment, and a Iii. |
tie Of every thing hats goingon. 1t shall
be our delight to crack Jokes, to tell stories
in our own way, TO rldlcue loI y, and to cor
rect the manners OF the age by exciting
laughter against them. In this, however,
we shall endeavor TO avoid that Icentious.
ness which vainly seeks to benef, the pub.
lie by wounding the feelings Of individuals.
A portion Of our paper will be occupied
with comprehensive notices of all pass
ing events-giving the pith of the news of
the day, without burdensomo details
We eschew partisan politics; yet we
shall continue to express our opinions i'm.
partially on all public measures. Follies
in government as well as in social life are
open to ridicule; and when the humor
seizes 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
'ature world which is congregatcd in the
emporium.
With this erpose Of our intentions, and
determined 10 endeavor with unremitting
industry to fulfil them, we look with con. +,
confidence Tor continuance Of that pa
tronage which has hitherto been so cor
daily extended to us.
The "Weekly Picayune" will be publisb.
ed every Monday morning, at $500 DER
annum, payable in all cases in advances: I
and will contain four additional columns, ,
embracing all the news of the week, with 8
whatever OF interest transpires on Sun t
day.
