OUR Paper,

wshave not yet made up our minds On NV

an giving It, in every way possible, daily merit
,h.s shall secure and reward a daily puohc
attention.
Far this purpose, we have, at much expense,
strenethened 1t in all the departments which a
thoroughly well conducted journal should en-
brace. in order to render it, as it ought to De-
the image in print of that great moving woriu :,
about VS., of politics, of trade, of industry OF
manners, of feelings, and, in short Oh inc "N0''
public being, social, civil end religious
To prohibit ourselves any one Oh 'nese, " ~

comnlete community Of thought and OF ieelihg
w;,b al around us, which is necessary 10 oui
,,.efnlness itself We shall be neutral on no
.ubiect. therefore, and least of all on those OIL
pol;t;cs. in forming and defending our opinions
on which, a large part OF our nle mas peen
nassed We cannot lay them aside; Tor IN De-
coming good journalists We cannot cease 10 De
rood citizens. Politics, then, will receive due
attention and zeal in our journal: but we trust
to make them fair, liberal and enlightened.
We shall especially do what we can to sweeter
them for the more general reader, by dashlne
the often bitter draught with more pleasant
things; and especially with much original lite
rsrv matter. Carefully and justly writer
criticisms of new books, will be kept up, so a
to give frequent interest of that sort to GU
columns. We shall endeavor equally to kee
pace with the public amusements, by notices
the dramatic and musical entertainments. L
these our leading principle will be never
praise what is not good, in order that our prals
when given, may be able to benefit the desery
inc. In short. loving Art very heartily, w
shall sneak in its interests, rather than those o
particular players or musicians; and while W.
shall certainly practice towards these, all rea
souable indulgences, we shall as certainly never
let our criticisms fall into what such too com
monty are--mere parodies of the pufs anc
play bills.
OF all that various and important informa
tion-markets, shipping, crops and the like
which concerns the Merchant, the Planter, anC
the Manufacturer, we shall keep up as goo(
and prompt a body as can be presented.
Such are the purposes for which we are put
ting into rapid effect all the necessary arrange
.ments. In aid of these, good correspondent
will be employed. And, finally, the closest at
tention will be paid to the news-department
For we shall not be content, until we shall hav,
rendered our young moon full one, and mad
: the Crescent above all things newspaper
Doing all this, and speaking out freely and fear
lessly on all subjects, we shall merit, we trust
the public confidence, and swell our daily cir
culation--already the largest in the South
twice or thrice its present extent.
