PROSPECTUS OF
THE LoVD0E FREE PRESS,
For 1858.

Having assumed the onorous and responsible
duties of public journalists, we feel the Just de-
sire to increase the circulation of our paper,
as it viii not only increase our capabilities of
doing good, but at the same time give us rea-
sonable remuneration for our labors. To ac-
complish this desirable end, We have determin-
ed to send out this Prospectus with a request
that all who feel an interest in the increased
circulation of our paper will send us the largest
number of subscribers they possibly can. Yet,
we cannot make this request without rendering
appropriate Acknowledgements to several friends
whose exertiOns in procuring US subscribers have
not been unnoticed by u.s.
We deem 1t unnecessary to occupy lengthy
exposition of the leading features of the FREE
PRESS. Its political complexion is uncompro.
misingly WHlG-but we are truly glad that the
evil times of unrelenting political warfare has
for time at least ceased, and those so long and
so recently in antagonistic array, are drawing
together in friendship and in purpose, to mingle
united effort and united wisdom to advance the
interests and the true glory Of tie land We
look to the promotion of the interests of gricu-
ture, of Manufactures and of Commerce as
being by far more important to the improve
ment of the country, than any political issue
upon which the American people are extensively
divided. These great interests shall have our
warnest support. Our leading aim shall be to
arouse public sentiment to the importance of
industrial progress-of enriching our fields, of
beautifying our homes-of starting up the busy
hum of industry and enterprise.
As to the merits of the FREE Press it is for
the public to judge-we can only claim that we
have earnestly endeavored to publish a paper
worthy OF public patronage. II is flied with
readable understanding the latest Foreign
and Domestic News full and impartial quota
tions of the Produce Markets of Loudon, Au-
custa, Savannah, Macon Charleston and Nash
vile, with occasional quotations from other i'm
portant points---together with the prices and
number of Hogs sold in Cincinnati each week
during Packing season--also the prices of Pork
at numerous other points, so as to give our Ira
ders broad and correct basis of judgement in
regard to this important article of trade. In
a word, our paper is for the business men Of
East Tennessee.
We are anxious to increase our circulation,
and have determined to offer the FREE PRESS
at greatly reduced prices to Clubsmoney to
accompany the names, as follows
