and as the measures TO I've brought forward and dis

suitable time ihan the present, for the commence
mrnt Of an enterprise Of this kind.

professional stenographcr, and has long been en-
gagged as Reporter in Congress, in the Conven.

yer and above our own labOrs, in getting up our
Daily, and in employ ing Reporters Correspondents,
&c. we trust our friends throughout the state will
exert themselves 10 give our paper as wide circu-
laton poss bic,
TIE very low rate at which we have placed our

CASH system, so far at least - it is concerned,
and require p,yments 10 be made 10 it during the
first month OF the session.
