neutral IN politics, and free from sectariansm IN

AIexander's Express Messenger,

Furnishes regularly the fullest and earliest diges-
ted compend Of Domestic and Foreign NetoS. AS
the British Steamers almost invariably arrive al
the end or beginning of the week, the Messenger,
which goes to press on Wednesday. has the erctu-
SIRE Advantage OF the intelligence brought by them.
Reports of all the important proceedings OF Con-
gress and the different State legislatures are full
ly recorded by regular correspondents employed
for that purpose.
The literary contributions to the Messenger,
either in Poetry or Prose, are among the abest
and most talened writers in the country. Is there
any reason, therefore. that IL should not maintain
the enviabe reputation of being the cheapest, most
useful. and interesting Family Newspaper IN the
,coiEde The contents of the Messenger are so Sc
lected and arranged that the The Farmer, The Ne
chal,ic, The Merchant, The Business 1ifaa, The
Nan of Science, and the Mora!iSt, may find in its
well stored columns both instruction and enter
tairnaent; and as the utmost care is taken to eX-
clude every thing which possibly might offend de-
cency and good taste-PGrcnts can place this pa
per in the hands of their daughters, without APP
preheEson or hesitation--whch, in the present
degenerate condition OF portion of the Public
