paper in olsrksburs, Va, with the above title,
and aatsar oursslf that We present to the public
sheet acceptable @ all, and worthy Of supPort-
There have been several attsmpts before to es-
saSlish paper in this place, all Of which, from
some cause have failed 70 greater or less extent
Yet believing this country sufRciently populons
and wealthy, and its esti-eus amply intsilieeut
and liberal to support good newspaper. ne have
made another trial, in the belief that an that !.
required to secure liberal support, il ths publi-
cation Of paper worthy Of patronage.
This We shall endeavOr to do; and with our ar
perienes in the business, doubt not that we shall
succeed. Our materials, type, press, dc, are en-
tirely new, which will enable rs TO make our pa
per, in point Of mechanical execution, second to
mono in the State. The large siIe Of our paper
enables 70 give all the current news Of the day,
besides publishing other articles Of general inter
est. The Literary portion Of our journal shall by
no means be neglected; about one half Of our
columns will be weekly devoted to this species Of
reading which will make our paper intsrssting
to every family.
It may be thought that we are liberal In making
promises, but we refer to our paper as evidence
that oil are fulfilled.
The news Of the coming year will DO more than
ordinarily interesting. Commencing with the
doings Of Congress and the State Legislature, to-
gether with the exciting condition Of our foreign
affairs, and closing with Presidential campaign.
The proceedings Of the State Legislature du-
ring its coming session will be Of especial interest,"
inasmueh IS the New Constitution docs away
with many of the old forms and usagcG, and now
ones viii have TO be substituted It is Of vast i'm
pOitance to every person TO be informed upon the
new laws which must necessarily be passed, as
many Of them will, in all probability, greatly diff
fer from those now in force.
The Presidential campaign Of the coming sea-
son will be one Of the most important elections
that has ever occurred in the history Of our coun-
try. The late difficulties on the slavery question
rendered it matter of doubt at one time whether
either Of the two great parties of the country
could unite in National Convention for the nom
inAtion of . candidate but recent transactions
have shown that whatever our opponents may do,
the Democratic Party will go into the contest up
on national principles which viii command the
support of all sections Of the country.
All these subjects Of exciting interes. will bO
thoroughly discussed by the public printa, and
no where can moro general information in re-
gard to them be obtained, than through their me-
dium.
This, in addition to the general news given ev-
cry week, forms great inducement for all to take
the paper. Our terms are as low as paper can
possibly be printed for in this country. The at
tempt has frequently been made to publish pa
per for less price and nearly every month wit
nesses their downfall There is probably not
man in tho country who docs not wish to see q
good paper established in this place. We have
commenced the publication of one which we shall
endeavor to make worthy of that cognomen, and
call upon all to assist in establishing it upon
firm basis. Our subscription LISTS rapidly in
creasing but we have nc. &c. as great a number
should have; yet if We continue to increase
as rapidly as we have since our commencement,
few months will place the pcrmRnency of our
undertaking beyond doubt. We hope, there
fore, that our friends will not cease their efforts
in our behalf; and let each subscriber endeayor
to induce his neghbors to send for the paper also
By this means, We will soon obtain q sufficient
patronage.
We will furnish the Register upon the follow
ing terms, payable within six months from the
time Of subscribing:
