WEhare eonmenesd the publication Of = nsw
paper in clark,burg, Va, with thu above atlss
ana Halter onrsef that We present 70 the public
'neei acceptable 70 al, and worthy Of support.
.hsra have been several attempts before 70 e.
taohsn paper In This plaes, al Of which, from
some eaHss, have failed 10 re...r or La. .4tst.
Yet believing this country saffleiently pon,,lor.
and wealthy. and its citizen. amply in..ilis.n,
and liberal to support good Newspaper, =. h.y.
made AnOthsr trial. in the beliefthss an that 4.
required TO secure liberal support, 4. IA. publ
cation Of paper worthy ofpatronags.
Thu NE shall endeAvOr TO do; and With our ak
perienes in thu business, doubt not that No shaI
succeed. Our materials, typ., pres, &c, ara an
tirely new, which will snabls NJ 70 make our pa
per, in point Of mechanical execution, ascond 70
nons in the State. Tho large size Of our paper
enables rs TO give all the current neWs OF the day,
bssides publishing other articles Of general intsr-
est. The Literary portion Of our journal shall by
no means be neglected about ono half Of oar
column, win be weekly devoted to thiI species Of
reading, which will make our paper interesting
to every family.
Itmay be thought that We are liberal In making
promises, but We refsr 70 our PapsT ~ evidences
that all are fulhlled.
The news Of the coming year will Be more than
ordinarily interesting. Commanding with the
doings Of Congrsss and the State L'gislatsrs, 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 win be Of especial interest,
inasmuch Es the New Constitution does away
with many Of the old forms and ussgss, and new
ones will have to be substituted. 1t 10 Of vast i'm
portance to every person to be informed upon tho
new laws which must necessarily DO Pausd, -
many Of them will, in all probability greatly diff
fer from those now In force.
The Presidential campaign Of thu coming sea
son will be one Of the most important elections
that has ever occurred in the history OF our oOun
try. The late difficulties the slavery question
rendered it matter Of doubt A. 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 all sections Of the country.
All these subjects Of exciting interest will be
thoroughly discussed by the public prints, and
no where can a more general informaton in re-
gard TO :hsm Be obtained, than through their mo
dunn.
This, in addition 10 the general nswa given sv-
cry week, forms great inducement for all to take
the paper Our forms are as low as paper can
| possibly be printed for in this country: Tho at
tempt has frequently been made to publish pa
per for less price, and nearly every month wit
nesscs their downfall. There is probably not .
man in the country who does not wish TO sse a
good paper established in this place. We have
| commenced the publication Of one which We shall
endeAvor to make worthy Of that cQgnomen, and
call upon all to assist us in establishing it upon
| firm basis. Our subscription list 10 rapidly in
| creaaing, but We have not yet as great q number
as We should have; yet il We continue TO increaI.
40 rapidly as have since our commencement
few n:nths will place the permHneucy Of our
undertaking beyond doubt. No hope, there
fore, that our friends will not their effort,
| in our behalf; and let each subscriber endeGvOI
to induce his neighbors 20 send for the paper also
BY this means, We will soon obtain a sufficient
patronage.

ing terms. payable Within Ill months from th'
