beng, to make a
Il First Rate Family Newspaper
in every particular, calculated to meet the
wishes of the people from one end of the
Union to the other, the following are the
points to with they invite attention, as en-
bracing the character of the sheet.
THE GREAT SIZE.
1t is sheet of the largest class--ls
printed on fair, clear type, with fine white
paper, and contains more reading matter
than any weekly published.
POPULAR TALES.
1t is devoted to the highest grade OF
light Literature, each number contains
three or four chaste Original and Selected
TALES; which, while they shall inter-
est the young, shall at the same time
point moral. 1t also contains much
good, and never any bad POETRY. A
copious compound of well-told Anecdotes,
Rich Humor, Pointed Wit, Just Satire,
and sentiments the most touching. Ii
contains also, the greatest variety OF Orl-
ginal Tales, Sea Sketches, Poetry, Songs,
Charades, besides the latest and best Sc
, Elections from the American and English
Magazines, and all other fountains OF
choice Original Literature.
In fine, the Post, upon which the con
Germ is founded, has been conceded every
where to be the very first newspaper II
the country in the quality and quantity Of
its Original Tales, Essays, Poetry ans
other matter.
Here follows a list of names of abou
fifty eminent writers, who are regular con
tr6utors to the paper, which we have no

AS A NEWSPAPER.
- As a weekly newspaper, it is believe
that the "I'HE UNITED S7.77E
" SATURDAY. POSI"' is not equalle
n hy any weekly literary paper now exls
G. inc. 1t contains full and well dlgeste
he account of every matter olnews up to tn
n hour of printing. This is great beside
MS ratum to those who take only a singl
Ii weekly paper, and which means less eN
MS tensivc than those connected with the CT
in tablishment cannot accomplish. Th
i'll number of persons employed, and tn
steam-powcr engaged in the publication
this paper, altogether surpasses that
any other of similar character.
