THE MODEL AMERICAN COURIER, in which
particulars our journal stands couiessedly alone
in the vast lsmily OF newspapers--a iact that may
be credited perhaps to the Pscuhar mamtr IN
which The Courier in scuduetec. No brutal and
depasing freilals Of suicides, OF obscene ourages,
nor indslicate advertisements, calculated lol cie-
ate or minister to depraved taste, are admitted
into its columns; but everything designed Tor the
harmless smussment, the mental improvement,
or moral instruction Of the reader, aud especially
OF the rising generation. No paragraph is ever
Suffered 10 appear in its columns, that might MOI
Ls, with perfect proprieiy, read aloud TO the most
refined and iastidiOus hearers; and every depart
ment regulated BY our known principles OF NEU-
TRALTTY IN POLITICS AND RELIGION, and indepen-
asnee on all other subjects OF public interest
II has been said-"Ihe price OF Liberty is eter-
nal vigilance" We have long since discovered
that the price Of eminent success IS eternal indus
Try and perseverance, in welldJingi aud we are
determined to let no rival supplan: US in the ap-
provsl OF American readers, By any lack Of ener-
gy or enterprise Of. our part. The American Cou-
rier is conceded by all to be the largest most beau
tiful, and best conducted family newspaper in the
wo-d And it will ever be our greatest pride,
aud hgest aim, TO continue it the most useful and
acceptable TO all classes OF our couutTymen, and
especially % ouI 20 900 subscribers!
Others may aspire TO WELD Ihe sword DER pros
trate oes, or 10 move the Senate with their elo-
uuence; tut our ambition will be the more peace
iul, though perhaps, not less patriotic task Of
weekly endeavoring to improve the minds and
hearts, and consequently render more happy our
vast family OF Patrons extending at least through
out our great aud happy land TO our million read
ers. This object, and the dissemination in all
classes OF society, oi taste Tor education, love
oI virtue, and an observance of morality aud re-
lgon have ever heen, and we trust will ever be
cherished principles of our candidates for the sui-
TRACES Of the universal reading public, viz: GEN

with, and edtOrship OF the Courier for more than
twelve years, have received the warmest COM
mendaIlon from the press and people all over the

tlon TO this powerful ticket" the Courier for I84g
will be enriched by distinguished pens in the va.
rlous departments of music, the arts, and general
literature. The markets, news and gosspo the
day will continue, as usual, the objects Of speCa
care in detail, and nothing will be left uudone by
mind or money-Ihose twin giants Of the intel.
