they may occur; together with abstracts of tho
most interesting Public Documents. 1t will ais,
give regular and succinct account Of the doings
Of Congress and OF our State Legislature.
The LITERARY PAGES will present rich

Poetry, Criticism and keht and humorous Meet
ties. In this Department we shall aim at pleasing
the most refined taste, and from the vast float
ing mass of Literature shall make such selec.
tons only, as will, in our opinion, 'bear a second

several able pens, and expect to present MANY
| ORIGINAL contributions.
Under the EDITORIAL HEAD will be found

the passions and prejudices of political parties.
