A VERY CHEAP NEWSPAPER
DAILY AND WEEKLY

! A the New York Daily Journal of Commerce
l. n has been twenty-four years before the public
with circulation of many thousand copies its
general character may be presumed TO be known TO
most persons into whose hands this circular will
| fall We may therefore safely dispense with any
array of promises declaration of sentiments eX
cept to say that as in time past, in time future
we shall cndcayor TO make it q good and honest
paper and to take such views of the various topics
that may come up for discussion, as shall seem TO
us right and proper, and for the best interests of
| the country and of mankind. The Journal of Com
| maerce is neither a Wing nor Democratic paper i'm
the usual sense of those terms, much less is il
| neutral paper in the usual sense of that term On
the contrary lis very apt TO have opinions on DO
ltca as well as other subj ects and to express them
BUT It Is bound by no party trammels yields to no
party dictation, and seeks party reward
During the late conflict of opinion on the subject
involved in the Peace Measures of Congress, com
monty called the Compromise, the Journal of Com
merce advocated and sustained those measures ono
ana al; and il will continue to battle for the Union
the Constitution and the Compromise so long as
opposition shall last
Deeply regretting the existence of slavery we
are at the same time opposed to what is call Adolf
tonism,. believing that it has done immense mis-.
chief TO both master and slave, and that its preya
lence in the nonslaveholdng States so as to Give il
the control of our elections and legislation would
cause the sun of Liberty which has risen with sucb
glorious promise on this Western World to set in
tears and blood
The colonization of free blacks with their own
consent in Africa, we believe to be fraupbt with
blessings to that continent and to this and to botb
races and expect that our children not ourselves
viii see the day when the republic of Liberia shall
eXcrt oYerA1ca an influence not unlike that which
the United States exercises over America
The journal of Commerce is called Free Trade |
paper; that is, it is in favor of no higher duties
than are required for the wants of the government
economically administered. The present Tariff il |
regards as Il fair compromise between opposing in
terests.
In the department of news, the Journal of Com
merce spares no effort TO excel; all important in
teligence from distance, and much that is of Soc
ondary Importance, being received by telegraph at
an expense of several thousand dollars per wear
Its reviews ofthe markets are unsurpassed The At
tention OF manufacturers is particularly invited to
the dry goods report, which is full and correct-
We have able and efficient correspondents at home
ana abroad. Among the latter, is the celebrated
robert Wash, of Paris, than whom America has
few sons more thoroughly versed in the literature
Of the world. In short, it is the design of the ed
tors, so far as money and effort can do it. 70
make the Journal of Commerce all that can be
desired as business and family news
paper.
With these few remarks by way Of Information
% those who are unacquainted with the Journal of
commerce. we proceed to the main object of this
circular, which is to say that in order to make the
