the great size of the sheet will enable the
proprietors to give a greater variety of
original and selected matter than can be
found in contemporary sheets. The mat

quality. The design Of the proprietors
being, 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 10 with they invite attention, as en-
bracing the character of the sheet.
THE GREAT SIZE.
1t is a sheet of the largest Chassis
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
hight Literature. each number contains
three or four chastc Original and Selected
TALES; which, while they shall inter-
EST the young, shall at the same time
point a moral. 1t also contains much
good, and never any bad POETRY. A
copious compound Of wel-told Anecdotes,
Rich llumor, 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
lections 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 Origjnal 1aieS, Essays, Poetry and
other matter.
Here follows list of names of about
fifty eminent writers, who are regular con-
trlbutors to the paper, which we have not
room to insert.
Original Stories appear in every num-
Der of the paper, with original articles on
aH subjects.

A portion of its columns will be devoted
during the Lecture Season, to SCIEN-
TlFlC LECTURES carefully reported
at length-a feature possessed by no 9TH
er weekly paper-by one ofthe best Re
porters in a, the United States. Hence,
subscribers remote can have all the advant-
age of these highly popular discourses
with but little cost. The great size of
the paper also enables us to give all i'm
portant Congressional Proceedings at
length, and all reports and other publ
documents in full, together with occa-
sional Congressional Speeches in full
THE FARMERS.
1t is intended to make the paper one of
great interestto the Farmer, by giving the
Reports of the different Agricultural AS
soclatons; the new inventions; late ex-
periments in tilling, and able papers from
every source entitled to confidence; so
that the Agricultural portion of the COM
nunlty will find in its columns, without
upon other matter, all that is
leslraDle 10 know, without the expense OF
| seperate journal.
AS A NEWSPAPER.
As weekly newspaper, it is believed
hat the "7HE UNITED STATES
POST" is not equalled
y any weekly literary paper now exist I
ng. 1t contains full and we'll digested
ccount of every matter of news up to the '
our of printing. This is a great deside- 4
alum to those who take only a single y
,eekly paper, and which means less ex- :
,nsive than those connected with the es- y
Enlistment cannot accomplish. The :,
lumber of persons employed, and the I
eam-power engaged in the publication of
lis paper, altogether surpasses that Of
ny other Of a similar character
