PROSPECTUS
OF THE
RIPLEY DIVERT TISE K.
Volume Second.

IN HE great interest taken in the Presidential
~A canvass, together with its near approach,
renders the acquisition of political intelligence
a IN after Of Importance to the public. The linn
tied means possessed by the immediate North
eastern section of the State where no paper cir
culates to great extent, calls for something to
supply the deficiency. Under these circunstan-
ces, the undersigned presents the claims of the
RIPLEY ADVERTISER as a medium of public
information.
In doing this, he deems it unnecessary to enter
into lengthy exposition of the character OF the
paper. Its publication for twelve months past
has given. the Tublic some opportunity to judge
of its claims to support. 1t will advocate, as
heretofore, the " hig cause, believing, as does
the Undersigned, that the ascendency of whig
principles will promote the best interests and
prosperity OF the country. But whilst he will
endeavour zeaously to maintain his own 'lit,- :
cal views, respect will be had for the opinions OF
those of his fellow citizens who differ with him.
Whatever of interest occurs in the proceedings
ofthe State Legislature will find place in the
| columns of the Advertiser and it will be the
constant endeavor of the undersigned to suit, as
far as practicable, the tastes of all in the choice
of matter, and to present an acceptable sheet t.
the general reader. Having encountered the
trouble and expense of establishing press al
this place. he trusts that liberal patronage
whose political opinions coincide with his own.

MAN, and filled with contributions from the most
eminent and accomplished writers ofthe country.
The motives which have led to the commence
ment OF this under taklug may be briefly stated :.
1t is believed by the proprietor that there is in
the United States an immense provision of liter
AIRY ability for which rs yet there is no adequate
encouragement orfed of display; that besides
the numbers of clever and successful writers
whose productions are weekly, and monthly, and
annually read with delight by thousands, there
are yet greater numbers constantly arriving at
maturity of power who have only to appear on
the srage of publication to receive a brilliant
award of fame, and that the powers of those
whose names are already pronounced with res
pect by lips of wisest censure are capable of
more and still higher euertions than has yet
been called forth. It is believed, too, that the
demand for literary production in this country,
especially in the peridica canuel, exceeds the
supply in very large proportion, and that new
quality and in the way to ensure hearty well
come and profitable reception. No doubt is
entertained of the American minds ability to
sustain ITSELF certainly on its own ground if not
abroad, against all the competition that the
intellect of other lands can bring to the encoun-

With laughter's silyery fall,

Around The social hearth,
And many pleasant, scenes

Now mournful is the tone
They're speaking Of the dead,
The loved! above whose graves.
The bitter tears were shed.
Their voices mournful fall,
And wake some memory
Fen in the hour of mirth,
OF the loved and lost to me.

A grief. earth cannot still.

Its secret chambers fill.
