very large circulation, commends
itself to general patronage, by the extent
of its ample pages, its tasteful arrange

cution, as well as by The spirit, variety and
ability oft contents. The novelty of the
arrangement Of its columns, under the
emblems of the several States, most beau
tifuly 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 il takes its
earnest support to sound DEMOCRATIC
WING PRINCIPLES as the only secure ba-
sis of National Freedom and Prosperity

Farmer and Statesman, Gen. Harrison,
for the Presidency. The aid of expert
enced and veteran writer's has been secu-
red-the most ample correspondence es-
tablished-and every arrangement made,
whereby journal worthy of the spirit and
taste ofthe age, and combining the advan-
tages both of the best political and neutral
papers, can be procured in addition to full
and vigorous editorial discussions and cor
respondence, the best Speeches Of our
most distinguished public men, on the
great questions Of the day, will, from time
