i'm every particular, calculated to meet the
wishes Of the people from one end ofth
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 a sheet Of the largest class-ls
printed on fair, clear type, with fine white
paper, and contains more reading matter
than any weekly published. 1H.a SD,
POPULAR TALES.
!. IT 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. 1t
contains also, the greatest variety Of ORR
ginal Tales, Sea Sketches, Poetry, Songs,
Charades, besides the latest and best Sc.
iections 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 in
the country in the quality and quantity of
! its Originai laleS, Essays, Poetry and
other matter.
Here follows list of names of about
fifty eminent writers, who are regular con-
Irlbutors to the paper, which we have not
room to insert
Original Stories appear in every num-
Der OF the paper, with original articles on
.aN subjects.
PUBLTC LECTURES.
A portion of its columns will be devoted
during the Lecture Season, to SCIEN-
.TlFIC LECTURES carefully reported
at length--a feature possessed BY no 9TH
CT weekly paper-Jy one ofMe best Re
pOrterS IN IN The United States. Hence,
subscribers remote can have all the adyant-
age of these highly popular discourses
with but little cost. The great size of
the paper also enables US to give all i'm

documents in full, together with occa-

THE FARMERS.
II is intended to make the paper one of
great interestto the Farmer, by giving the
Reports of the different Agricultural AS
sociations; the new Inventions; late ex-
periments in tilling, and able papers from
every source entitled to condolences; so

r1 AS A NEWSPAPER.
As a weekly newspaper, it is believed
that the " THE UNITED STATES
S.aTURD.4Y POS7"' is not equalled

account Of every matter ofnews up to.the
hour of printing. This is great deside-
ratum to those who take only single
weekly paper, and which means less ex-
ensive than those connected with the es-
adjustment cannot accomplish. The
number of persons employed, and the
team-power engaged in the publication of
his paper, altogether surpasses that of
my other of similar character -a,ar
In Short, the UNITED STATES
saturday POST is considered mall
aspects equal, if not SUPERIOR to any of
