AS A NEWSPAPER.
As weekly newspaper, il is believed |
that the "I'fiE UNITED S7.4IES
SATURDAY. PON7"' is not equalled
by any weekly literary paper now exist
Ing. 1t contains full and well digestod /
account Of every matter ofnews up to the {
hour OF printing. This is a great deside-
ratum to those who take only single !.
weekly paper, and which means less ex- |,
tensiye than those connected with the es-
Establishments cannot accomplish. The
number of persons employed, and tho
steam-power engaged in the publication OF
this paper, altogether snrpasses that of
rny other Of similar character, as8ala !
