Besides articles from regular Contributors, the Pub.
Usher will be prepared to give re-pubcations of the
choicest tales, &c, from the popular foreign maya
zines, as they arrive monthly, We determined
TO render the Visitern the most useful paper in the
country. To This end, will avoid the re-pubca-
ton of every thing like the poisonous trash some of
the mammoth sheets forced to print, merely to fill
up in time. Such matter is untitled for the family
circle, and therefore, has business in family paper
Our aim is to do good, not harm
In order to render the "Visiter' appropriate for
natives of Baltimore, and others desiring to take a
paper containing the city news we shall constantly
keep eye to news about town. and shall do what
the daily print cannot accomplish, viz: give full
record of all hymenia and obituary news ~
