PROSPECTUS OF THE
NE w YORK We W s


r T is now oneyear since the publica.
4. ton of the News was commenced
and its entrance upon another year o!
existence is fitting period to recall to
the public mind the favorable terms up
on which Its daily and weekly issues
are published; to state some improve
ment recently made. and contemplated,
and also to refer briefly, for the infor-
nation Of those not acquainted with
the paper, to some of the advantages
its subscribers enjoy.
The News will henceforth be publish
ed for the proprletors by the subscriber.
In every particular of its business man.
agement, its friends as well as those
otherwise interested, can rely upon en-
tire promptness and efficiency.
The sole editorial control of the
News will remain with Mr.. JOHN L.
O'SULLIvAN, one of its proprIetors. He
will continue to be assisted by Mr..
THOMAS p. KETTELL, whose attention
will be particularly devoted 10 moneta-
ry and commercial affairs; In connec-
ton with which subjects he has attained
during his association with the Herald,
and since with the News, a wide and
most distinguished celebrity. The val
liable services Of Mr.. Richard Sutton
have also been secured, with view
of earning for the News reputation
forearly and accurate information upon
all matters of interest or news, and also
for a judiclous and varied combination
of reading matter. His character as a
writer of diversified talent, and fame as
a reporter, render any further notice of
his ability unnecessary--though it is
we'll to add that he has associated with
him several gentlemen also well known
in newspaper life. An accomplished
scholar and writer, Of high rank in lite
rary circles, will have the direction of
such part Of the topics Of the News as
may fall within that range.
The typographical department of the
News will be under the supervision of
Mr.. Joseph #. Crowell, practical prin-
ter, and one Of its proprietors. No eff
tort will be spared TO place it in the first
rank of American newspapers for beau
ty and neatness of dress.
THE MORNING NEWS
Has been prosperous to a degree which
could hardly have been anticipated at
its birth; shown alike in an increasing
advertising patronage and subscription
list, and demanding the enlargement

GOOD LOGIC.


We are exceedingly well pleased with
the sound reasoning of one of the per-
sons who take part in the following col
loquy. We hope our borrowing patrons
will profit by it:
81 am going to stop my paper" said
a miserly subscriber to the --,
to one of his neighbors;"I cannot afford
to take it,
"What is the price Of it per year,"
said the other.
"Two dollars" was the reply.
Sand can't you afford two dollars a
year? Think Of 1t, only two dollars a
year! A year is long time. Perhaps
you have only very few such to spend
here on earth. A year! a whole year!
and only two dollars! and what do you
get for your money? A large, closely
printed, useful sheet; giving you the
news Of the week, and large amount
of miscellaneous reading-philisophical
and grave, light and numerous. And
yet you can't afford two dollars for such
a sheet for whole year."
"Well, | declare. neighbor, you talk
like an experienced man. never tho't
Of it just in this light before. 1t is only
two dollars gear. And yet the pa
per comes to me erery ,veek. And |
love to read it. l always find something
in it that interests me. And, moreover
on second thought, perceive that,
after all, good newspaperis is about the
cheapest thing a man can have. He
gets more reading for his money than
he can in any other way"
''frue, neighbor, and this shows that
what | have always said is true: News
papers seem to have been designed al
most for the peculiar benefit of the
poor. No man is too poor TO take
good newspaper, because it is the
cheapest thing he can have"
Here both the speakers joined and
said: "Blessed are the editors, for they
feed the poor with knowledge;" and
then they separated with looks of high
satisfaction.

ScoJR YOUR PLows BRIGBT.-Far-
mers may be surprised to know that
their crops will depend good deal on
the color of the plows! yet so it is
Bright plows are found to produce
much better crops than any OTHER. 1t
may be electricity or magic for aught
we know: we merely state the fact
leaving others to account for it. But
very much depends upon the manner
of doing it, for merely scrubbing it by
hand with emery or sand is not the
thing; ii must be secured by the soil. 1t
is found that the subsoil scours it bet
ter for wheat than the top soil; for a
plow kept bright by very deep plow-
ing affords better wheat than plow
frightened by the surface OF the soil.
1t is the same with corn. In respect
to this last crop, ifyou will keep your
plow bright as mirror until the corn
is in the milk, you will find that it will
have wonderful effect. i appeal to
every good farmer if he ever knew a
rusty plow to be accompanied with
good crops? Iron rust on a plow-
share is poisonous to corn.-Lnd. Far
mer.

must be worse than performed in vain.

THE WEEKLY NEWS

latlon Of the weekly papers published
in the city Of New York, not taking the
exclusively religious journals into the
count. 1t is so generally known, that
any comment upon its merits is not ne
cessary. For the quantity and quality
ofreading matter which it gives, it is
the cheapest weekly paper published in
the United States; and when it is re-
membered that each number contains
well executed wood cut portrait of
some distinguished Democrat, its un-
equalled cheapness Of price will be con-
ceded. Its terms are Sl,5O a year for
single copy; S4 year for three copies
to one address; Sc year for five CO.
pies to one address; and $40 year for
ten copies 10 one address.

ney will be credited with the full a.
mount he pays TO the postmaster. Post

a statement Of the purpose for which i,
is paid. to the postmaster OF New York,
who will communicate the same to the
Office of the News. All letters relating

PROSPECTUS OF THE OHIO
l. STATESMAN.--T undersign-
ed respectfully announce to the DEmoc-
RAcY OF Ono, that they have purchased
of Cor. SAMUEL MEpARY, all his inter-
est in the Ohio Statesman newspaper,
from and after the lst of July, 1845.
The paper will, as heretofore, advocate,
unfinchingly, democratic principles and
measures, and give the strongest sup
port to the regularly nominated candI-
dates of the Democratic Party, that it
will be in the power Of the undersigned
to afford. TO firmly support the Ma
tional AdT inistration-to maintain the
right Of this country to the territory of
Oregon-to uphold the great doctrine
of the sovereignty of the people, as con-
tended for by the patriot DoRR--to con-
tend for the adjustment of the tariff in
such manner as shall do justice to the
great Agricultural interest OF the West
TO labor for the settlement of the Ma
tional Finance question in way that
shall prevent the public moneys from
becoming the means Of individual ag-
grandisement--and to strenuously sup
port any measure calculated to make
the laws of Ohio embodiments of the
principles Of Liberty and Equality, and
to give to the State sound currency;
these are the objects which the un-
dersigned propose to themselves in the
new and arduous position which they
have assumed. Their success must de-
pend upon the amount and the charac-
ter of the support which they shall re-
ceive at the hands of the Democracy of
the great Empire State Of the West,
whose voice in the National Councils
is SO important, and whose example, IN
the management OF their internal affairs,
is destined TO exert vast influence
upon all quarters of the Union, and par
ticularly to give character TO the leg
islation of the new communities which |
are constantly arising, and demanding
to be admitted to the rights and privi-
eyes enjoyed by the members of the
confederacy.
The undersigned have invested a
large amount Of capital in their present
undertaking. They have brought to its
whatever of.talent and enter
prise they possess. Their interest is
Identical with that of the West; and
there is no incentive to exertIon--no
motive which can incite men to a faith
full discharge Of important duties
which is not moving them to labor fol
the good of that portion ofthe confede-
racy into whose hands the physical
and moral powers Of the nation are rap
idly passing. Under these circumstan-
ces, they feel that they are privileged
to ask for that support and TO look for
that confidence from the Democracy of
Ohio, without which all their labors
