While scores Of papers which have been started in
tho last twenty three years, have passed away for
ever, the Post still maintains its proud position in
point of circulation and profit, at the head Of the
family newspapers ofthe day.

ENLARGEDA AND IMPROVED,
Aad now appears in handsome new type, and has

"he handsomest family sheet in the Union" Our
efforts have been directed to the combining Of
beauty and simplicity, with utility and taste. The

it neat aud durable for filing; while in size it sur
passes every other weekly newspaper in Philade-
phia and has received from its contemporaries the

Speeches in full.
