WE have commenced the publication Of : new
PaPSr in ClArkshnrgs Va, With tia above titie,
and fAtter ouraef that We present 70 the public q
sheet acceptable to all, and worthy Of support u
There have bean several attempta before 70 g.
tablish paper in this place, all Of which, from
some caEie, have failed to greater or leaa extent
Yet believing this country sufficiently populopl
and wealthy, and its citiSens SIMPLY intalrgeni
and liberal to support good newspaper, we have
made another trial. in the belief that al that Is
required 70 secure liberal support, Is the Publi-
cation Of paper worthy Of patronage.
This We shall endsavor 70 do; and with our eS-
periepcs in the business, doubt not that we shall
succeed. Our materials, type, press, de-. are en-
tirely new, which will enable us TO make our ma
per, in point Of mechanical execution, second to
mono in the State. The large size Of our paper
enables Us to give all the current neWs Of the day,
besides publishing other articles ofgonoral inter
est The Literary portion Of our journal shall by
no means be neglected; about one half Of our
columns viii be weekly devoted to this species Of
reading, which will make our paper interesting
to every family.
Itmay be thought that We are liberal in making
promises, but we refer to our paper as evidence
that all are fulfilled.
The news Of the coming year wiz hsInors than
ordinarily interesting. Commencing with the
doings Of Congress and the State Legislature, to-
gether with ths 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
inasmuch Gs the New Constitution does away
with many Of the old forms and uSagss, and now
ones will have TO be substituted. 1t is Of vast i'm
portance to every person to he informed upon the
new laws which mus. necessarily be passed, as
many Of them WILL in nll 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 q matter Of doubt at one time whether
either Of the two great parties Of the country
could unite in q National Convention for the nom
inRion Of q candidate but recent transac tons
have shown that whatever our opponents may do,
tho Democratic Party will go into the contest up
on national principles which Will command the
support Of all sections Of the country.
AL these subjects Of exciting interest will be
! thoroughly discussed by the public prinss, and
no where can more general information in re-
gard to them be obtained, than through their me
dunn.
! This, in addition to the general news given cv-
cry week, forms gre at inducsment for all 70 take

! possibly be printed for in this country. The at
tempt has frequently been made to publish pa
per for a less price, and nearly every month wit
ncsses their downfall. There is probably not o

endeavor to make worthy of that cognomen and
call upon all to ussist us in establishing it upon
firm basis. Our subscription list is rapidly in
creasing, but we have not yet as great a number
