PROSPECTUS
THE DAILY KEYSTONE.
TERMS-$2 ron Tue SESSION,

l
THE undersigned bcing fully aware of the i'm
pottance Of having Daily Democratic Paper
published at the Seat Of Government Of Ponnsy !.
vania. during the sessions Of the Legislature. in
compliance with the request Of a number Of their
| democratic friends, propose TO publish the KEY
| STONE DAILY, during the approaching session
on Royal Sheet at the low price qSTwo DOLLARS
for the session. or two cents per sine@ copy.
The great object to be attained by the publication
Of Daily paper at Harrisburg during the session
of the Legislature, is TO give reports Of the Debates
| in the two Houses, on all important public ques-
tions, at length than has heretofore been Gus.
omsry, and to get those reports out before the pub
lie, more expediiiously than Ivy the slow process of
a semi-weekly paper. There is an enxiety in the
minds of the rading public TO obtain the earliest
information in regard TO all psbc movements
and as the measures to be brought forward and dis
cussed, at the approaching session of our Lcgisa-
ture, Will hc of the first Importance, to the people
a, large, we conceive that thore can I've no more
| sui able time Than the present, for the commence
| ment ot an enterprise of this kind.
As one of the propretors of the Keystone is a
professional senographer. and has long been en-
g'gcd as Reporter in Congress- in the Convcn-
lion To amend the Constitution, and in the State
Legislature, he confidently hopes that he will I've
enabled to conduct the Legislative Department Of
the paper, in manner entirely satisfactory to those
members whose remarks he may report, aud the
public at large. He will be assisted ty cnmpeicn,
reporters, and will at all times attend ia one Hou,c
himself To ensure faithful and accurate reports of
debates in the Legislature. The other propri, tor
will take charge of the Editorial Bcpar m nj of the
paper, and as he has heretofore had considerable
experience in c'nducing Democratic Journal in
another part OF the State, he hopes t. be abe To
make the Keystone acceptable not only 10 his poit-
cal friends, but to the reading jublir.
We shall also have correspondent at WASH
ington, who will give daily synopsis of the bus.
ness transacted in the National Legislature; ard
an account Of all the political movements, which
may be made at the set of the general Govern
ment.
QJ' As we shall incur heavy expenditure, o.
vcr and above our own labhrs, IN getting up our
Daily, and in employing Reporters Cousspondel,s
exert themselves u give our paper as wide crcu-
lation as possible,
TIE very low rate at which we have placed our
DAILY, will make II necessary for us TO adopt the
CASH SYSTEM, far at least rs il is con, erucd
and require payments To be made TO il, during The
first month of the session.
The scmi.wcekly Keystone, double Roy al .izc)
will he published usual during the session at two
dollars.
or Pos, Masers and others sending us five
sub>crbcrs accompanied hy ten Jolla,s, will be-
entitled to a cory for their trouble.
