PROSPECTUS OF
THE N. 0. WEEKLY TROPIC.

Impressed with the vast importance o the next
ection fer President and Vice President OF the
United States, and believing, as we do, that upon
n" success Of the Wing patty depends in great
gree the stability and prosperity OF the American
Union, no honorable efforts should be neglected by
ne inend' OF law, order, and constitutional liberty,
ensure consummatiOn earnestly to be de-
red by every lover Of his country. With an un-
nimity and enthusiasm never before paralIeIed
ae Whig party presents to the American people
,r their sufrages for the highest station in the
Frld, he name Of Americas nobIest statesman,
ENRY CLAY! Mr.. Clay is now the candidate
tthe party, and his nomination only REQUIRES "A
tJrmal announcement by the properly constituted
.uthofitles OF the party. That announcement will
br made next May, and from that day the Wings
the Union will march forward in solid phaIanx,
determined TO do '.justice to Harry OF the West,''
nd wipe from the national escutcheOn the stale
md stereotyped slander that "Republics are un-
grateful.'
We are Of those who believe that the great mass
flour countrymen are honest and patriotic that
hey only require correct information to enable
and induce them 10 support such measuFes and
-uch men, as will m st eftectually advance the ho.
nor and prospert, of our native land. They have
no motive TO do wrong, and hence, when correctly
Informed, they will invariably do right. The high
est and nObest duty Of the press that great engine
ofnt llige and rational freedom is 10 enlighttR
the pub ic mind, scatter broadcast through the
aud the true principles OF liberty, morality, and
lu>tice. Since the ar OF printing was discovered
tie press has been, and so long it Tema H. in the
hands OF honest men, il must continue 10 Re, not
the pioneer, at least The mosl powe fol auxiliary
in every enterprise, having for its object the I'M.
proVement ofmankind, and the elevation Of man ,o
that exalted sphere Of fusefulness for which God H.
his wisdom, intended him.

We are defer nd to supply, and { would he il-
convenient abu expensive to get up a journal ex
tsSly for the purpose, wehave concluded to adopt
81 course which, we think, will be more acceptable
to our friends and more useful to the cause!
we shall commence on SATURDAY, the Cd day of
March inst, the publication of an extra edition of
the w EEKLY TROPIC, which we will furnish
from that day until the Presidential election in No
Vember, period of eight months at the very low
price of TWENTY COPIES FOR TWENTY
DoLLAkS! The Weekly Tropic is published on
sheet of the same size Of daily paper is Iled
entirely with reading matter, and contains more of
It than any Weekly sheet published in the Souih
West! DURING the eight months Commencing with
March and closing with the Presidential election.
the Weekly TroPic will contain more political and
mlscehaneous NATTER commercial and general
news than any paper ever published in New Orleans
at FIVE TINES TIE PRICE, and hence il will be en-.
titled to, as we hope it will recpive, the msst ex
teDsiye circulation. The unexampled low price AT
which it is offered will require the argeet possible
circulation, to save US from pecuniaTV loss, md
when this fact is remembered we hope each and an

lend US their aid. Twenty copies of paper like
ours twenty dollars, is novelty in this latitude
an experiment never before undertaken here.
