We are making arrangements (the particulars
will be announced at the opening of the Ses-
sion) which will, we think, secure the Madisonian
more universal circulation. Our ncessant labors
for the last twelve months have impaired our
health and rendered occasional relaxation absolutely
necessary. We have therefore secured the services
of of the best writers of the day. who, assist
ant editor will devote his whole time to the paper
We have secured correspondents in many Of the
States hose letters will keep readers constantly
advised of the political movements throughout the
Union.
We will give daily condensed report Of the pro-
ceedings of both Houses Of Congress; and the most
important speeches will be published at length in our
columns.
The official transactions Of the Government will
be published in the Madsonian exclusively.
The views and purposes Of the Executive, in ref
erence TO the and policy of the Administra-
ion will, as heretofore be made known through the
columns of this paper
The PRINcIpLEs of the Madisonian are known to
be those of the REPUBLICAN PARTY of 49, They
will be adhered to through sunshine and storm.
We ask our friends, who are the advocates of Truth
and Justice, to exert themselves in behalf of the
Madisonan, between this and the assembling OF
Congress, that the organ of the Administration
may not only be efficient in repeling attacks but in
carrying, when necessary, the war into Africa.
