CT To the Advertising Public we have few
words to say. We have now, through the course
Of one year placed before you our little sheet-for
three months as lr-weekly, and nine months a
daily. We offered, as we supposed, inducements to
the q tzens generally, to take paper, and to bu-
siness men, to advertise in it. The paper was very
cheap, and advertising at low rate; but we have
not been sustained we had reason to expect Now,
about toenter upon another year, with the experience
of the past and additional valuable aid, hope to
come before you in that way which will meet your
entire appreciation, aud result in our full and ade
quate support.
1t has been suggested by many Of our best friends
that our paper has not been sufficiently general
that 1t has been little too exclusive with regard IN
auvgrusers anu - thereby rendered less useful We
intend to profit by these suggestions and try every
possible means to make our paper suit every reader
and every advertiser. We will advertise any article
in trade that may be sent; aad yet in thus proclaim
ing, we do not intend to compromise any Of our
principles heretofore avowed We SHALL at all times
take proper occasions to speak our sentiments on
moral subjects, and against whatever may tend to
injure good morals. We conceive that the greater
the number ofpersons who take our paper, the more
intend to teach, and as honest men, if we have rea-
son our side we may thus bring them under the in
fuence of truth.
