cimen of that publication in the new an'
improved form which we have determined
to adopt. Our readers will perceive tina
4 the size of the sheet is greatly enlarged
tht he paperis of excellent quality, and
of a form suitable for bindingsand preser
vation; and that the type with which it Il
printed are throughout entirely new. /
has been cast, indeed, expressly for thi:
publication; and while It's size permits us
to condense a great amount of reading
matter into our columns, il 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 It's contents, the present sheet may
he taken as an eract model of the weekly
numbers which we undertake hereafter to
furnish to our subscribers.
In thus giving to our friends a 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 10
SAVIOR of an extravaganza in promise and
announcement altogether unsulted TO our
habits and our taste. We resolv ed to pre-
sent to our subscribers a weekly newspa-
per, altogether unequalled in comprehen-
siveness, variety, and value, by any other
similar publication which has yet been is
sued al The seat of government. We shall
avail ourselves to the utmost of all the
advantages afforded by our position here,
to make the WEEKLY UNION, as politi-
cal journal, more valuable and interesting
than a weekly sheet published anywhere
else can be made. Arrangements have
already been concluded, which will, we
are assured, enable us al once to carry
these views fully into elfec,.
The EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT of the
WEEKLY UNION will embrace all the poll
tical discussions which appear in the co.
umns Of the DAILY UNION. In these,
We shall spare no effort to furnish our
readers full analysis OF the leading po-
litical topics of the day. 1t is believed
that our daily sheet; giving as ii does more
than ten columns of new matter every
day, presents greater amount of origt-
nal comment on the course of public af
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,
leads US to speak with well.warranted
confidence Of its future efficiency. 1t is
not necessary we trust, for US to declare,
that in future, as heretofore, we shall la
Dor earnestly to promote The harmony of
the democratic party of the country, TO
uphold It's great principles and measures,
and TO sustain cordially the present admi-
nlstratlon in carrying those principles and
measures into effectr
