Daily evening star. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1852-1854, 1853-10-31
THE STAR ENLARGED.

contain three additional columns of the
size of those in this journal up to this
time The favor withwhich our labors have
been received by our thousands of readers
has made this change necessary. We have
now circulation greater, in proportion to
the population in the cityin which the Star
is printed, than that ofany other publish
ed in the United States, we believe. As
a matter of course, our advertising patron
age has increased pro rata with our circu-
lation, and the certainty that both must
greatly increase in the next two months,
has induced us to encounter the heavily
increased expense incident to increasing
the size of the Star without charging more
for it. We are about to establish routes
upon which the Star will be served
daily in Baltimore. Frederick and Cum
berland, Maryland; Wilmington, Della
ware; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: Tren-
ton, New Jersey: in New York city, and
in Fredericksburg. Richmond, Petersburg,
Norfolk and Portsmouth, Virginia, and
also in minor towns. which can be reach
ed by our packages, mailed Immediately
after our hour of publication, without
delay on the road. Thus, we will sup
ply those cities with full and complete
daguerreotype of what transpires in
Washington twelve hours at least, if not
twenty-four hours, before they can obtain
such desideratum from any other source
whatever We fear no competition from
any Congressional register, the charactero of
such journal being essentially different
from ours. Such paper prime object is
to spread the proceedings Of Congress, an
ettsaso, before its readers. Out Of it's
twenty -four columns, at least eighteen or
twenty must be daily filed with dry re-
ports, speeches to bunkum for the benefit
of the Hon. Mr.. Twaddle, lists of yeas
und NAYS on going into committee Of the
whole, or on motions TO adjourn, &c. Il
cannot dare to breathe whisper concern
ing the by-play-or what goes on behind
the curtain-in Washington, least in so
doing it may offend some member of Con-
gress, who Tor whose friend) may be in
tereSted in something put back" by ex-
posing affairs in Washington as they real
ly are. On the other hand, we shall not
only continue to present full and agree
able column of Washington News" such
as has already earned for the Star the
reputation of being the best medium III
the United States through which to learn
what is going on in the Executive Depart
ments, among the politicians, spectators,
claimants, claim agents, citizens, &c,
&c; but we shall daily publish quite as
full and faithful pictures of what Con-
gress is doing and contemplating, and OF
what individual members do, say or think
that may be of interest to the people out
Of as well as in the halls of legislation.
We shall also have our eyes upon the
lobby, now almost as powerful as with
in the bar" and will chronicle their
movements, schemes, speculations, SQUAD
b!es, DC. In fine, we intend that, this
winter, no man, woman or child, who
may be interested in anything supposed
to be going on here. shall rest contented
without reading the daily Erening Star:
and we, therefore, notify persons at dis
lance, III advance, that the sooner they
subscribe for it the better, as our arrange
inents will not enable us to print larger
edition than ten thousand daily, so as to
be in time for the mails. In the matter
OF publishing proceedings of Congress,
Cur plan will be to present a truthful view
OF everything done by them, officially,
which the public may desire to see, leaving
the official register to bring up the twaddle
and bunkum, for which it is daily paid so
mush column for reporting and printing,
out of the pockets of the people. Thus,
our reports will not keep in view the
wishes or interests of the members indi-
vidually OF collectively; for We shall show
them up to the world as they really do
and say, not as the official presents them
by contract-as they wish to appear to
the country. This will be as refreshing
as it is novel, and will, doubtless, earn
us praise from the country at large, quite
in proportion to the curses which will be
showered on the Star by those in and out
OF the halls, who do not desire to have
truthful and unvarn;shed accounts of
what transpires in Washington find their
way abroad
