A weekly newspaper, dedicated 70 politics, science

The want Of journal devoted to the advocacy Of
Wing Principles, and the reiutaton Of the ISLANDERS
and lalsehOods Of our opponents has been long and
seriously felt To supply deficiency 20 uniyer-
sally acknowledged 20 exist, and at the earnest so
citations Of many OF The most prominent ind zeal
ous in the cause, We are induced 70 issue the
NOrih american for the tOWH and country,
confident that with our Daily a. an auxiliary, we
would thus be enabled 10 present 20 our readers a
greater amount Of talent than could otherwise be
afforded, and render eminent service to the party BY
counteracting much Of the evil 20 widely circulated
through the press Of our unprineipled opponents.
This popular newspaper, though published but
eighteen months, has already Obtained the Immense
circulation Of 30 900 copies. Our success is with
out parallel in the history OF newspaper publish
ing and we positively assert that no paper ever OBJ
ltaned SO large a circulation in so short space Of
time This is, indeed, gratifying sign Of popular
favor and Is the best evidence Ol the appreciation of
our labors by our Wing brethren Of the Union.
In its politics our paper is broadly and nationally
Wing, devoted to the principles Of that great party,
which il maintsns in all their integrity, with zeal,
spirit and ability. As evidence of this, il may be
mentioned that Il has received the sanction OF the
entire Whig delegation Of both branches of Con-
gress, who testify that "by the force Of superior tai
ents, energy aud enterprise, il has deseVedly assu-
med high position among the most enlightened
and influential journals of the country, and may be
classed in the front rank Of the most important aux
iliaries and defenders Of Wing principles"
! Ithas also received the unqualified commentator
Of Henry Clay, ohm J. Crittenden, and John Nc.
Lean, who severally recommend it as follows:
OPINION OF HENRY CLAY have received and
attentvely perused for many months the North A.
merican, published in Philadelphia with which the
United States Gazette is now associated; and take
! pleasure in bearing my humble testimony to the
consummate ability with which it is generally edit
r ed, and to the soundness Of the principles which i
abors to illustrate and establish. think il emf
nenty merits public patronage, and especially whig
support II that great cause should be triumphant
there is now ground for confident hopes, that pa
! per must be regarded as one of its most fearless
champions and enlightened supporters.
