The daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1848-1851, 1848-11-15

The affairs of the nation having been settled so
as thew can be by the direct action of the people,
Cor some time TO come, there seems to he general
determination among citizens TO give their at
fsntion to their own immediate concerns The
oreater nart of our old citizens have retained TO
sbai, homes with new health and spirits, ready to
rranne with the realities of iie and better their
own condition while they add to the wealth Of this
favored emporium and the greatness and strength
Of our common country. Not only the old accus-
toned faces meet our eyes, but hundreds of new
corners. bringing among us capital, intelligence,
industry, and energy, to build up fortunes for them
selves and add their share to the general prosperity
We welcome all. There is enough to do, and time
and space enough to do it in. We hope that every
kind of labor and enterprise will meet with its APP
propriate reward and that none will have cause to
complain of failure and disaster New Orleans is
great city, but it is still only in the beginning of
its greatness-imaginatio can hardly span its
future extent, the magnitude of its wealth and
power, and the number Of its population
While on the subject of the business and pros
poets of the city, we hope it will not be deemed in
trusive if we say few words about our own BUSH
ness and prospects. Less than year old-started
at the beginning Of the dull season-and passing
through one Of the worst of summers--with daily
increasing subscription list and advertising bust
ness which is extended with every number, we may
safely say that the establishment Of paper no
longer an experiment: it is what General Cushing
would call ga fixed fact" The extraordinary sue
cess which has attended our exertions, is, we be-
lieve. mainly attributable to the course which our
paper has pursued-eschewing all political or re-
ligous Notwithstanding all parties, factions,
ba. I,ho I-a IL
useful to every class of our ctizens-to the mer-
chant mechanic, the professional man, and the
planter We have, at least, endeavored to be be-
hind none of our neighbors. and shall try our best
to surpass them The moderate price of our paper
by the year, and the facilities which we give to
subscribers, to take it for month or even for a
week. if they think fit, have had the effect of giving
it large and rapidly increasing circulation among
every class Of our citizens. This general diffusion
of the paper among the people, makes it the best
medium for all kinds of advertising; it is to be
found in the cnunting-house, the office, the work
shop, and the parlor Wherever information is |
sought to be extended, the " Crescent" may be |
found The advantage which this gives it as a
medium of advertising is what desire to impress
upon our readers, believing that those engaged in
trade or any other business or profession in which
is useful would find to their interest to
employ our sheet as a means of communicating with
the public We have in addition to our newspaper,
new and admirably selected job office, in which
we are prepared to do printing Of every kind from
a folio volume to visiting card Those who may |
favor us with their custom will be assured that their
work viii be executed with neatness and prompti- |
tude, and on terms as reasonable as it can be done
in any other office in the city
In Short the proprietors of the Crescent are work
ing men, and belong to the go-ahead" family, |
and they do not intent to be outstrpped the race
which all are running about them; and if they do |
not win the first prize in the contest they will not
certainly be the last at the stand.
