The MODEL AMERICAN COURIER, in which
particulars our journal stands eouessedly alone
in the vast family OF newspapeTs--a TACT that may
he credited perhaps to the pecuiiar manner in
which The Conrief in rondueted. No brutal and
depasing recit''s OF suicides, or obscene outmges,
nor indelicais advertisements, calculated TO- cls-
ate or minister to depraved taste, are admitted
into its columns; but everything designed Tor the
hsrmless amusement, the mental Improvement,
or moral instruction OF the reader, and especially
Of the rising generation. No paragraph is ever
suffered to appear in Us columns, that might not
be, with perfect proprety, read aloud to the most
refined and idslidious hearers; and every depart
ment regulated by our known principles OF NEU.

OF virtue, and an observance of morality and re-

raj editor-ANDREw NJ MAXIM, whose association
with, and edltorshp Of the Courier for more than
twelve years, have received the warmest COM
mendatlOn from the press and people all over the

OF "RiChes Have Wings, ,""Rising in the World, "
"Six Nights with the WashingtOnians," "Maid-
en-, Wife and Mother" 'Swsethearts and Wives,
Lovers and Husbands" &c. Agricultural edi-
tOr--JOHN S. SKINNER, founder Of "The Turf Re-
gister" and "American Farmer" and editor Of the
I"Plow, the Loom and the Anvil, and in addi-
ZION to this powerful ticket" the Courier for l84S
will be enriched by distinguished pens in the va.
rous departments Of music, the arts, and general
! literature. The markets, news and gossip Of the
day will continue, as usual, the objects Of specia
care in detail, and nothing will be left undone by
mind or noney--thnse twin giants OF the intel
lectual and physical world-to keep the AMER
