friends oflaw, order, and constitutional liberty;
consummatiOn earnestly TO be de-
red by every lover Of his country. With I'M
nimity and enthusiasm before paralleed,
Wing parry presents TO the American people
or their suffruges for the highest station in the
world, the name Of Americas nobest statesman,
IENRY CLAY! Mr.. Clay is now The candidate

-uch men, az will most etfectually advance the ho
nor and prosperity 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
afinteigence and rational freedom, is TO enlghten
the public mind, 10 scatter broadcast through the
land the true principles of liberty, morality, and
ljustice. Since the art of printing discovered,
the press has been, and so long it.rema in the
hands Of honest men, it must continue to be, ifnot
the piOneer at least the most powerful auxiliary
in every enterprise, having for its object the i'm
prOvemenl of mankind, and the elevation Of man to
that exalted sphere of usefulness for which God, In
his wisdom, intended him.
In the approaching Presidential election, il can
not be denied, that 1t is TO the Wing press which
our friends must look for the most useful, powerful
and concentrated efforts in that which binds
up in its support tie hearts and hopes Of millions
i Of our countrymen. To the Wing press, we must
look not only for the dissemination of sound and
wholesome intelligence upon all subjects of nation

way into every nook and corner of our extended
country. They must be met-their statements en-

tive duty of the Wing press: that press which has

most needed in the South-West, is a cheap aud

we are determined to supply, and as il would be in

a sheet of the same size Of our daily paper, is fIled
a. entirely with Ieading matter, and contains more of
it than any Weekly sheet published in the Son,b
in West During The eight months commencino viii,
10 March and closing with the Presidential eIecton
" the Weekly Tropic will contain more p1itcaI and
" miscellaneous matter, commercial and general
DO news than any paper ever published in New Orleans
at FIVE TIMES TIE PRICE, and hence it will be en-
titled to, as we hope it will receive the most en-
tensive circulation. The unPxampcd low price ne
% which it is offered will require the largeet possible
70 circulation, to save Us from pecuniary loss and

The price at which we now offer the Weekly
