Prospectus of the Times.

The Proprietors Of the Times have awaited
the discontinuance OF the Stakeholder, as the
period most opportune for the realization Of the
hope with which they have been encouraged, in
relation to such an extension of their subscription
list as shall render their establishment permanent,
by relieving its conductors from all fear OF
embarrassment.
The election of General HARRlsoN--now re-
garded as a matter of absolute certainty-and
the consequent change of Administration-the
condition of the counry--and the great measures
of national policy, which must be discussed and
settled without delay, lead to the belief, that we
are but entering upon an epoch OF unsurpassed
interest and importance in the history Of our
country.
In addition 10 this, every man may ROW feel
himself able to take paper.
The political character of the "Times" will re.
main the same as heretofore, although we hope
soon 10 change its tones, from those of complaint
and censure, to those Of commendation--and, in
this view Of the case less space will suffice us
| FOR political discussion, we shall be enabled 10
render to our readers weekly compend of aohat
euer else is transpiring in the world around them.
We shall have competent friend at Washing
ton, and at Jefferson, and thus be enabled to
present the earliest and most authentic accounts
of the proceedings Of the National and State
Legislatures.
The Markets, including weekly prices current
in st. Louis and New Orleans, with whatever
else may seem Of interest or advantage to the ag
rculural community, shall receive proper and
regular attention. In short--in addition to the
hope inspired by our reliances, of being able tic
maintain, unmpaired, the high political reputa
ton Of the sheet, we expect to render it an in.
teresting and valuable Family Newspaper, which
may be looked into, with profit and pleasure, by
all classes of society.
As the period of the approaching Presidential
election will present convenient opportunity
of testing our reliance upon the liberality of our
friends, we shall cherish it as a favor if each oil
our present subscribers will shew this prospec.
tus to his neighbors and acquaintance, and for.
ward us list of such names as may be procured
directly afterwards.
TERMs.-Three dollars, payable at any time
before President HARRISON is naugurated. -
