| Commission merchants and others huvinp
! freight in the shape Of advertisements Of shiI
Tor the country trade, would do well to send
them on board our clipper, as she is up for eve
ry city in the U. States, and all intermediate
landings.
We reteratc to those fanatical pirates who
cruise under the black hag-w 10 oppose slave
ry because they are themselves the slaves Of
! Ignorance and uperstIlon-who pretend to
rub cean the upper decks of their neighbors
with holy stone--we say look out for breakers.
TO Hotel keepers we recommend our paper;
| in every engagement her commander will be
first TO lead on the bOdrderS!
To the Heads of Families the trim appear
ancc Of our craft will be an object Of interest.
Most married folks have experienced, the ef-
lects of Hght-Sparring
We shall endeavor to make hose smugglers,
the Bachelors, heave to-show them the advan-
tages Of the proper "c0mpaHiOntcdy recon-
monding double stae-room, with &c,
We shall send our boat aboard Theatricas
and other amusements; those pretty pleasure
boats, which make our passage over the lake
Of like so delightful. Dancing we shall espc-
cally encourage; as we conceive that the safe
y OF a vessel often depends upon keeping both
pumps going.
On first launching the "Picayunc" we prom
ised to carry press Of sail in case We were
warranted by safe from the press. Through
all the storms which have ragged since she first
Saiied she has borne up under full sales, with
out ever being taken aback, and is now rank
ed A. |. at all 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 a vehicle OF fun, wit, hu-
NOR and sentiment, and 4 little OF every thing
that's gongon. 1t Shall DC our delight to crack
okes, 10 tell stories in our own way, to ridiculo
oily, and 10 correct the manners Of the age
by exciting laughter against them. In this,
however, we shall endeavor to avoid that licen-
ousncss which vainy seeks to benefit the pub
&c by woundng the feelings Of individuals.
A portion OF our paper will be occupied with
notices OF all passing events
giving the pith of the news Of the day, with
,ut burdensomc details.
We eschew partisan politics; yet we shall
continue to express our opinions impartiaIly
IN all public measures. FolIieS in govern
nent as well as in social life are open to rid
cule; and when the humor seizes US, we shall
not spare them, on whichever party the cen
sure may fall.
All local occurrunces Of general interest
shall be promptly noticed, so that our distant
readers may sec at glance the miniature
world which is congregated in the emporium.
With this eEposc of our intentions, and de-
icrmlned to cndeavor with unrcmiuing indus
try TO fulfil them, we look with confidence for
A continuance Of that patronage which has
hitherto been so cordially extended TO US.
The Weekly Picayune" will be published
every Monday morning, at So 90 per annum,
payable in all cases in advances; and will con-
ain four additional columns, embracing all
he news Of the week, with whatever oil in
crest tranSpires on Sunday
Those persons at distance who will pro.
ure four subscribers, and send US a $50 bill,
hall be entitled TO one copy gratis.
