THE YEOMAN.

Hinder this title, the undersigned propo-
- SEES to publish WEEKLY JOURNAL until
the close of the Presidential Election, on
plan and at "a price which will place itwith-
In the reach Of a large portion of the COM
munity who do not now take newspaper.
The design of the publication is to pre-
sent facts and arguments bearing upon the
prominent questions at issue between the two
great parties of the country, and to embody
these In concise, simple, yet comprehensive
form. In the preparation of matter for this
journal, the publisher expects to be aided by
the best talents in the State; and it is his
purpose to appeal to the reason and calm
judgmen tof men, and not to their passions.
Believing that majority of the people are
essentially honest in their intentions, and that
they only err when misled by false informal
ton, it will be a main feature in the YEoMAN
to spread before them such papers as can be
sustained by indisputable proof-by extracts
from the documentary history of the country
and by facts which carry upon their face the
evidences of truth.
The Wing party of Virginia now have eve
ry just motive for union, energy and zeal in
the struggle before them; and the glorious
example Of New York will stimulate them
to honorable and unceasing efforts in cause
which they believe to be identified with the
dearest interests of the country.
TERMS.
The YEoMAN will be issued weekly, on
sheet of suitable size, at the extraordinary
low price of One Dollar and Twenty-Five cents
for nine months; but to justify this cheap
rate, not less than COCO copies must be issued.
This will reqnire only from fifty to one hum
dred Dollars from each county in the State-a
sum which the Committees of Vigilance will
find but little difficulty in raising.
Five dollars will pay for four copies; but
persons paying for from 90 to 100 copies IN
ADVANCE, will be furnished at One Dollar per
copy.
The attention of the County Committees
Is respectfully invited to the subject, as i'm
mediate action is necessary.
