Of our country TO sustain US, as far as he has
opportunity, and as long as I'VE conduct our
selves In such manner as will become US,
making the professions we do. There are lew
IL any daily penny papers like our own In the
country we say not, as well conducted as our
own, for we believe there are many conducted
with perhaps more spirit and energy than we
are even capable of. but few like our own, as
10 the principles we proiess-takiDg decided
stand for all that is good according TO the Bi-
bic standard, and opposing, in the spirit Of our
Saviour, ALT is evil. We know of no daily

lice ina favorable manner lhe doings at a The
atre for instance. Sill we pretend not 10 judge
our editorial bre,heren in this respect. We
wish every one TO be fully persuaded in his
own mind on these points. We are only urg-
ing our own peculiar claims, and desire the
prompt assistance Of all our frends--lhat is,
those wlro wish 10 sustain such paper at the
seat Of government. Our city itself, and the
District contain perhaps fifty thousand inhab
lants, and among these we are exer,ing, we
| trust, little influence, but we wish our voice
TO be heard abroad also, and call upon our
friends in Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York,
and Boston, TO lend us their aid in our humble
effort 10 do good. We are willing to make
large sacrifices to sustain this paper, and give
4 it wide circulation, but we hope the friends
Of the cause Of truth and virtue abroad, in con
neclion with those here, will say, Gentlemen,
It's unnecessary that you should bear all the
burden in this matter, acc aciu help you. Such
a course will not only please US, but we hon
eslly believe will rebound TO the glory Of God
and the lasting welfare ofthe community.
We depend on the moral portion Of the
community for support in carrying on this
paper successfully Members of all Christian
churches, of all Benevolent Institutions, parti-
cularly the Temperance Orders, will, we be-
lieye, rally around us and say, the waters of
the Fountain shall flow freely out from the
Metropolis 10 every part of the country. Take
the paper, advertise in il, and circulate il as
widely as possible. You will have our thanks,
and what is better than all, Gods blessing

GRATUlToUs DISTRIBUTION.

In order that the c,izens OF the above places
may see our paper for themselves, we send a
number of copies TO Mr.. Palmer to-day, for
gratuitous circulation. We do not wish any
TO understand by this that we think they should
withdraw their patronage from their own city
papers in order to sustain ours, but we should
like to have our paper taken by those who feel
able and desirous Of reading paper from
Washington in addition to their own city pa
pers, and we believe their are hundreds who
do desire this and are fully able to do it, es-
pecially when they consider the low price ofthe
Fountain only three dollars year for the dali
", and one dollar year for Tee weekly. Should
any one to whom this paper is sent desire 70
subscribe, he will please call upon Mr. Palmer;
and should the number of subscribers in any
of the cities justify Mr.. P. will procure regu-
lar carrier. TO whom the papers will be seut
daily that they may be delivered at your doors
as your own city papers are.
Those who subscribe to the weekly paper
will of course be supplied sby mail, and SO Of
the daily, ifthere are only few who subscribe.
We believe, however, that in Baltimore part-
cularly, we shall be able to secure large cir
culation, inasmuch as tho Baltimore penny pa
pers ar very literally supported by the citizens
OF Washington.
We would also say in this connection that
our object in endeavoring TO effect this increase
of circulation is not for the purpose Of making
money, SO much as enarging the sphere Of
our usefulness--the Fountain being paper
especially devoted to the best and highest inte
rests of man.

A FEW WORDS FOR OURSELVES.

The Columbian Fountain claims to be q
good paper. We endeavor to advocate what
soever is good in itself OF tends to the good oi
the people. One Of our principal themes is
Temperance, another sound morals. We dc
not pretend to sanction all that every body does,
but commend the virtuous, and try to win back
10 virtues peaceful way all who may have
departed from il.
Our paper is liberal one, Notwithstanding
We hare no desire to rail out harshly upon
those We feel bound to oppose, but we strive
earnestly to do unto others as we would have
others, under the same circumstances, do to u.s.
Pisinnsss Of speech we do use, but we are
careful 10 confne ourselves to the doctrines Of
truth, and 70 urge them upon the people in the
spirit Of love. Endsavoring to avoid ,ameness
we rush not into extravaganza, judging that
in oil cases, the middle path Of moderation is
safest and best. No one need be afraid, there
fore, Of being hurt by our manner, wha'eve
opposition we may be compelled 10 make t
his principles. IF the truth spoken in low
offend, we OF course cannot help IT. other Of
fsnse than this, we desire never to give
The last reason we shall present for claimin,
portion Of the patronage Of our friends abroa'

moral, penny paper from tie Metropolis Q

AGENCY OF MR.. v. b. PALMER
BRANCH OFFICES OF THE COLUM-
BlAN FOUNTAIN.
We have for long time been desirous of
opening more intimate intercourse with our
friends in the Northern cities, but never until
recently had any satisfactory means Of accom-
plishing our desire. Having conversed few
weeks ago with our agent, Mr.. v. B. Palmer,
on the subject, he expressed a wish that we
should consider his offices in the several cities
where they are established, as branches Of our
own, where all persons who desire may have
an opportunity of contributing to our paper,
either as subscribers or advertisers. The same
is MIR. Palmer's kind offer TO all the papers of
which he is the authorized agent, and il is GER
-tainly matter Of considerable importance TO
all concerned---to Mr.. p. himself, 10 the Pro
prietors fthe newspapers, and TO the public.
BY this arrangement which we now freely
enter into, it willhe as easy for an individual
in Baltimore, for instance, 10 advertise in the
Fountain, as for the citizens Of our own place
for he has only 10 call upon Mr.. P. and he will
promptly attend 70 the business entrusted te
him. We wish it, therefore, to be understood
that we consider Mr.. Palmers offices in Balti-
more, Philadelphia, New York, and Boston,
as branches Of our own.
The Office in Baltimore is at the South
East corner Of Baltimore and Calvert streets.
The Office in Philadelphia is at the North
West corner OF Sd and Chesnut streets.
The Office in New York is atthe Tribune
Buildings.
The Office in Boston is at No. 20, State
street. saH.
Persons in either Of these cities who desire
to subscribe for, or advertise in, the Fountain,
will please call on Mr.. Palmer and make known
their business,
