COLUMBUS. Ohio.-S. MEDARY. --Npv. 1851.
In presenting our prospectus at this
time to the public, we shall endeavor to be
as brief and direct to the point as possible
We shall not, as another paper has done,
brag Of ours being the best one in the world,
or in this city--we think it has character
and age enough to speak for itself But,
be that as il may, we shall not discontinue
our paper on that account. We, therefore.
send out our PROSPECTUS, inviting all who
desire to take it. to do so at once.
OUR DAILY paper will be issued at $5
year. from the first o! January. 1859,
invariably in advance, to all subscribers
out Of the city. and sent by mail 10
subscribers in the city. and delivered by
carriers. the price will be, as heretofore.
Sir Dollars.
After the lst OF January next, we shall
discontinue our ri-Weekly Statesman,
and publish in its stead SEMI WEEKLY,
the size of our present Weekly Ohio States
man. The SEMl-WEEKLY will contain all
the matter Of the Daily Statesman, and
will be issued on Mondays and Thursdays.
at 80 per annum, for single subscribers,
and for Clubs as below.
Such as do not desire the Daily States
man, either on account Of cost, or the ar
rangement or rdisarrangement, Of the mails,
will find the Semi. Weekly TO be the very
paper they are or ought to be looking for,
in all respects. 1t is the paper that every
politician, especially those who wish to be
posted up, should take, unless they take
the Daily.
The WEEKLY Ono STATESMAN will be
an improved family newspaper, and we
have no doubt, will be better liked than
heretofore. 1t will contain as few adver-
tisements as possible, and no long patent
medicine advertisements by the year.

person, however who sends one list can
continue sending additional names at the
same prices, to any amount he may choose.
The Legislature, will, In all probability,
from the large amount Of work before it,
be in session three or four months-then
will follow the publication of all the Cen
sral Laws. and few others, under the New
Constitution can be passed. after which
time we shall be in the heat Of most i'm
portant Presidential contest. Who then
will desire, for so small an amount OF
money, to take paper for less term than
year?
SESSION PAPERS:
TO those, however, who wish only to
take q paper during the sitting Of the Leg
islature, we offer the following very low
terms. The time, -four months, we pre-
sumo will cover the whole proceedings Of
the Legislature. DEMocRATs-,he State

session of the Legislature that ever con-
vened in Ohio is about to sit-who Of you

ceedings to have paper!

in its columns. CFNo paper, yearly or
session, will be sent without the money in
advance. And at the expiration of each
subscrip p,ion. paid for, the paper will cease
going unless the subscription is renemed.
We believe we have now said enough
as to terms, &c., one word, therefore, TO
our Democratic friends. Without your
aid, all our writing, and printing, and cir
culating Prospectuses will amount to moth
ing. You are scattered all over this great
Democratic State-we are here confined
to a little narrow room, working and fret
ting, and fussing, for the triumph of the
great principles that are to free all nations,
as those principles freed us-but without
your aid to circulate them among the peo-
pie, our labors must be confined to small
area. and of but little affective force. How
many Democrats, in Ohio. will then give
US lift in this matter! We hope many
