f-lP This paper, which enjoys very large
circulation, commends itseTfto general patron
age, by the extent Gifts ample pages, its taste
full arrangement, and beauty Of mechanical
execution as well as by the spirit, variety, and
ability of its contents. The novelty of the
arrangement of its columns, under the en-
bems Of the several States, most beautifully
executed has attracted almost universal atten-
ton, and drawn forth the warmest common
dation from the press, and the reading public.
The plan, also. of combining sound political
discussions with literary and miscellaneous
reading, is also generally approved; as no one,
in times like the present, can be supposed to
be Indifferent to public affairs. A brief out
line of the plan adopted is here given.

noble Commonwealth from which it takes its
title, will give It's earnest support to sound

SON, for the Presidency. The aid Of eXpe-
rienced and veteran writer's has been secured

and every arrangemement made, whereby, a
Journal worthy of the spirit and taste of the
age, and combining the advantages both ofthe
best political and neutral papers, can be pro-
duced. I'm addition to full and vigorous edito-
rial discussions and correspondence, the best
Speeches of our most distinguished public
men, on the great questions of the day,t will,
from time to time be given.

PROSPECTUS

snF the g CRESENT CITY, The SUD-
" scribers propose, on the first of October,
to commence the publication of daily news
paper, in New Orleans, bearing the above til.
tie. The reasons for this course are numerous
and sufficient, but need not here be stated.
In answer to an inquiry, what will be the
character OF the proposed publication! The
proprIetors answer-that in relation to parti-
zan questions, religious or POLITICAL it takes no
part whatever. Facts liz relation to these, as
well as other subjects, will be occasionally sta
ted, but only as matter of history, or passing
remark, without taking sides for one purity or
another. The editors are citizens, aud in COM
mon with other freemen, will vote for Wings
or VaEites-we suspect the former mostly
just as they please; but their paper will be
neither one nor the other II will however,
to. the utmost of its ability, sustain the public
credit, by which we mean the credit of the
United states, our own State, and public insti-
tutions, nor less that of individuals, oursowD
included.
Passing events, domestic and foreign, will
be carefully chronicled, and placed before our
readers in as brief and comprehensive man.
ner as possible. All important transactions
occurring in the city, of whatever character.
will receive from US due notice; and sometimes
events not very important, may be rendered
more SO by our notices. The proceedings of
public bodies. whether Incorporated or not,
will be observed, and fulIoften become the
subjects of remark. The various amusements
of our city, of whatever name, win be subjects
upon which we propose freely but literally to
comment.

OF these, it will be our aim 10 cater for the

SPIRIT OF SEVENTY SIX

VENHE lively interest which pervades the
= whole country on the subject of politics,
and the increasing Importance of true Repub-
ican Principles, have induced the undersigned
to offer to their fellow citizens of the County
of Pike, and other portions ofthe state, a week
y Journal, to be devoted to the exposition and
pfqmulgation ofthe principles thai distinguish
the present Wig party of our country.
The fearful strides made, and attempted to
be made by the present National Akmnistrs-
ton, towards strong Central Government at
Washington, admonishes every truG lover of
his conntry of the danger to be apprehend-
ed in the reelection of Martin Van Buren, to
the presidency, and of the necessity of CORES
ponding cxertlon to recover and sustain the
purity of our American Institutions.
The Spirit of Seventy-six will therefore en-
ter the Political Arena, boldly in favor iofHar-
rison, Tyler and Reform, And as we hold
Free Discussion to be the open pathway to
Truth, the decorous Communications of those
who disagree with US in politics, will always
receive a respectful attention.
Tn addition to the politics of the day, we
will furnish our readers with intelligence of
general nature, and the latest Foreign and
Domestic news.
The paper will be furnished to subscribers
at -Four Dollars year, if paid within three
months of the time of subscribing--Four dol
lars and fifty cents, if paid within six months
land Five dollars, if paid after six months.

son of taste and refnen enl,. and to all who
feel pride in their native land.
As refined and elegant repository of the
bellies. letters, embracing every subject within
the ge of polite literature and the fine arts,
the New York MirIor has received the spon-
taneous and universal Communications not only
of the press of the United States, but of Great
Britain.
The New York NJ rrir is the oldest, and un-
questionable, the cheapest periodical in Ameri-
ca. Every number contains great variety Of
useful, interesting and amusing matter, on eve-
ry subject connected with polite literature and
the fine arts; and they form, at the end of the
! year, an immense volume Of four hundred and
sixteen imperial quarto pages, with vignettic
! titlepage table of contents, splendid engray-
ngs, and fifty pieces of popular music, arrang-
ed for the piano-forte, guitar, etc.--a library
in itself-and all this afforded at the very tri

inadequate for the extraordinary equivalent
rendered to subscribers.

ces more ample, and our exertons to render

faging as ever. At home we have list of
nearly two hundred contributors, embracing
most of the talent and genius of America; and
