Impressed with the vast importance OF the next
election fer President and Vice President of the
United States, aud believing, as we do, that upon
the success OF the Wing party depends in a great
degree the stability and prosperity OF the American
Union, no honorable efforts should be Neglected bv
the friends of law, order, and constitutional libertT
to ensure a consummation SO earnestly TO be he
sired by every lover of his country. With an IN

est and MODEST duty Of the press that great engine

the pubic mind, 10 scatter broadcast through the
land the true principles of liberty, morality, and
justice. Since the art of printing was discovered
the press has been, and long as it rema rs in the
hands OF honest men, it must continue TO be- If not

| In the approaching Presidential election. II can
not be denied, that 1t is to the Wing press 10 which
our friends must look for the most useful poyyerfnl
and concentrated 6fforts in that cause which binds
up IN its support I! hearts and hopes of millions

wholesome intelligence upon all subjects Of natioo
al pc icy, but for the antidOte the banefu poison
of SANDER and misrepresentation, which daiy ard
weekly utters from the paid and pensoned presses
Of our adVersaries. Those misrepresentation are
sent forth on the wings of the Wind and find thef
way into every nook and corner of our extended
country. They muet be met-their statements en-
countered, their fulsehoods exposed, and Their So
phistries unmarked. This is the dnsy, the imrcra-
tive duty of the Wing press that press which has
through years of desp )ndency and trial, stood firm
amid disaster and oefeat, and never sbrunk from
any encounter, however hopeless the contest What
1t has been in years past, doubt not it will cen

sheet of the same size of daily paper. is filed
entirely with reading matter and contains more of
it than any Weekly sheet published i'm the SouIb
West! During The eight monlh lbs commencing with
March and closing with the Presidential election,
the Weekly Tropic viii contain more political and
| miscellaneous matter, commercial and General
news than any paper ever published in New Orleans
at FIVE TIMES TIE PRICE, and hence il will be en-
titled to, as we hope it will receive the most ex
tensive circulation. The unexampled low price at
which it Is offered will require the largeet possible
circulation, to save us from pecuniaIy loss, and
when this fact Is remembered we hope each and all
