PROSPECTUS
OF THE
CRESCENT CITY.

NHE subscribers propose, opthe hrst
u of October, to commence he publ
cation of daily newspaper, irNew Or
leans, heading the above title. The rea-
sons for this course are nulerous and
sufficient, but need not herebe stated.
In answer to an inquiry. what will be
the character of the proposed publica-
ton? The proprietors answer: that IN
relation to partizan questions, religious
or political, it takes nopart whatever
Facts in relation to these, as well as other
subjects, will be occasionally stated, but
only asmatter of history, or passing re-
mark, without taking sides for one party
ranother. The editors are citizens, and
IN common with other (reemen, will vote
for Wing or Vanites; we suspect the for
mer; just as Trey please: but their pa
per will be neither one nor the other
1t will, however, to the utmost OF its abb
lity, sustain the public credit, by which
we mean TIE credit, of the United States,
our own State, and public institutions,
nor less that of individuals our own in
cluded.
Passing events, domestic and foreign
will be carefully chronicled, and placed
before our readers in as brief and com
prehensive a manner as possible. All
important transaction occurring in the
city of whatever character, will receive
from US due notice and sometimes events
not very iuaportant, may be rendered
more SO by our notice. The proceed
ings of public bodies, whether incorpora.
ted or not, will be observed, and full oft,
en- become the subjects of remark. The
various amusements Of our city, of what
ever name, will be subject upon which
we propose freely, but literally to com
ment
Commercial and business information
will form special item of the daily con.
tents of our sheet. Atleast once week
we propose to give brief but full view
of the state of the market. Arrivals o.
ships and steamboats, will be noticed, and
facts learned by them be speedily com
municated to the public.
As ours is at once a mercantile and
family paper, nothing ola bitter or angry
character; nothing indicate or of immo-
raj tendency, will be permitted to stain
our pages. Instead of these, it will be
our aim to cater for the taste ofthe pure,
refined and virtuous and especially to
render our columns agreeable and in
structive to the young and to families,
where it is to be hoped our paper will be
daily and nightly read by the fair, as
we'll as by the staid and worthy among
the sterner sex. Let it not be supposed.
however, that sprightliness, wit, and sal.
lies of mirth and innocent gaiety are to
form no part of the contents of our Jour-
nal. The smile of intelligent and harm
less humor, and the effiorescence of chas-
tened but Attic wit, and the pleasantries
OF social enjoyment, possess too many
Charms to be refused admittance to our
hearts, and will consequently be ever
welcome to our columns
In short, we intend to render our little
sheet compendium Of all subjects con
slstent with rigid purity of morals. from
the sooerest lessons Of religion and phi
losophy, TO the gayest and most pla fn
efforts of fancy and wit.

Il argued BY the Wings that the pay.
men, Of the Union Bank Bonds should
not be made question IN The present can.
yass, for the reason that they are not due
and will mol have. to be paid for many
wears. This may be good whig logic but
does no, suit democrats. The interest is
b part Of the debt, and the Executive OF
ihe State is called upon almost daily, by
some foreign shaver or broker to save the
credit and honor of his State and country
by making provisions for lis payment.-
We should certainly be grateful for the
deep interest these fund-mongers feel for
our credit and honor! The interest on
the bonds now unpaid and due amounts to
D heavy sum, and the question of its pay
men, settled, so far at least as an expires
SION Of public opinion will settle il. They
intend to say to these friendly guardians
Of our honor and credit that they never
wi! pay the bonds sold on account of the
Unon Bank; and this they think it right
to do through The ballot box at as early a
day as Practicable. The argument that
Tue question should not now be raised be-
cause the bonds are not due for 10 or IL
years, IS silly. There will be due on the
