KMNt1IS paper, which always. enjoys a
L. very large circulation, commends
itself to general patronage, by The extent
of its ample pages, its tasteful arrange
ment, and beauty of its mechanical exc.
cution, as well as by the spirit, variety and
ability of its contents. The novelty of the
arrangement of its. columns, under the
emblems of the several States, most beau
tifully executed, has attracted almost uni.
versal attention, and drawn forth the
warmest commentators 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
outline of the plan adopted is here given:

Commonwealth from which it takes its
earnest support to sound DRMoeRATIc

SIS of National Freedom and Prosperity.
