improved form which we have determined
to adopt. Our readers will perceive that
the size of the sheet is greatly enlarged

has been cast, indeed, expressly for this
publication; and while It's size permits us
TO condense great amount OF reading
matter into our columns, it is yet remark
ably distinct and legible. In all that re-
CARDS typographical execution, and as 10
the quantity, variety, and general charac-
ter of lis contents, the present sheet may
he taken as an erdct model of the weekly
numbers which we undertake hereafter to
furnish to our subscribers.
In thus giving 10 our friends specimen
of our work, we avoid the necessity of a
detailed description of its character, which
would, at best perhaps, be but vague and
unsatisfactory, and which might seem TO

habits and our taste. We resolved TO pre-

Cal journal, more valuable and interesting
than a weekly sheet published anywhere

we shall spare no effort to furnish our

that our daily sheet; giving as il does more
than ten columns of new matter every
day, presents a greater amount of origi-
ma! Comment on the course Of public at
fairs, than can be found in any other news
paper Ia the country. We enjoy some
peculiar facilities for the acquisition of
early and important political intelligence;
and the aid upon which we are authorized
to rely in this department of our journal, |

confidence Of It's future efficiency. Ii is |
not necessary we trust, for US to declare, |
that in future, as heretofore, we shall la |

and to sustain cordially the present admi-
