WE have commenced the publicssion or new
papsr in clarksbnrg, Va, with tho above lille,
and fasser ourlslf that We present 70 the public
Ah e, s1eeptsbls % Al, and worthy Of support.
tnsFe have been several attempts before 70 e.
sApli.h paPer IN thi. place, al Of which, from
some easse, have failed 10 4 sresseT or -, sr,.,t
Yet believing this country snfac,sntly ,,or,,lo,,.
and wealthy, and ia citizens srnply ins,i,ig.r,
and liberal to support good nessspapsr. =. ne.
made another trial, in the belief that all th,. a,
required TO secure liberal support, il the publ
cation Of a paper worthy Of patronage.
This we shall endeavor TO do; aud with our s--
psriencs in the business, doubt not that we shall
succeed. Our materials, type, press, &c, are en-
tirely new, which viii enabls Us 20 make our pa
per, in point Of mechanical execution, second e
mono in the State. The large size Of our psper
enables Us 70 give all the current news Of the day
besides publishing other articles Of general inter
eat. 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 o:
reading, which win make our psper interesting
to every family.
II may be thought that we are liberal In making
promises, but we refer to our paper "a evidence
that all are fulfilled.
The news of the coming year win DO mOro than
ordinarily interesting. Commencing with the
doings of Congress and the State Legislature, to-
gether with the exciting condition OfOur foreign
affairs, and closing with Presidential campaign.
The proceedings of the State Legislature du-
ring its coming session will be Of especial interest
inasmuch as the New Constitution does away
with many Of the old forms and usages, and new
ones will have to be substituted. It is of vast i'm
pOItanee 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 DO 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 will command the
support of al sections Of the country.
All these subjects of exciting interest will be
thoroughly discussed by the public prints, and
no where can q 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 20 take
tho paper. Our terms rs low paper can
possibly DO 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 a
man in tho country who docs not wish to see
good paper established in this place. We have
commenced the publication of ono which We shall
endeavor to make worthy Of that cognomen, and
call upon all to assist in establishing it upon
firm basis. Our subscription list is rapidly in
creasing, but we have not yet as great number
as we should have; yet if we continue to increase
as rapidly aS We have since our commencement,
few m:nths will place the Pormancncy of our
undertaking beyond q doubt. We hope, there
FORE that our friends will not ccaso their efforts
in our behalf; and lot each subscriber endeavor
to induce his neghbors to send for the paper also
By this means, Wo will soon obtain sufficient
patronage.
We will furnish the Register upon the follow
ing terms, payable within ak months from the
tins of subscribing
