A VERY CHEAP NEWSPAPER.
DAILY AND WEEKLY.

A the New York Daily Journal of Commerce
IA 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 or declaration of sentimentseX-
cept to say that as in time past so in time future
we shall cndeavOr to make il 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 JOMRdlOf Com
merce is neither Wing nor Democratic paper in
the usual sense of those terms, much less is it n
neutral paper in the usual sense of that term. On
the contrary, it's very apt to have opinions on po
litcal well other subjects and to express them
But it is bound by no party trammcls yields to no
party dctaton and seeks no 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 one
and all and it 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 preva-
lence in the on-slavehodng States so as to give it
the control of our elections and legislation would
cause the sup of Liberty which has risen with such
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 fraught with
blessings TO that continent and to this, and to both
races and expect that children If not ourselves
will see the day when the republic of Liberia shall
exert overAfrica 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 fair compromise between opposing in
terests.
To- IL, -. Al
merce spares no effort to excel; all important in
telligence from distance and much that is of Sec
ondary importance, being received by telegraph at
an expense of several thousand dollars per year
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
and abroad. Among the latter, is the celebrated
Robert Walsh, 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
itors, so far as money and effort can do it. to
make the Journal Of Commerce all that can be
reasonably desired as business and family news
paper
With these few remarks, by way of information
to those who are unacquanted with the Journal of
Commerce, we proceed to the main object of this
circular which is to say that in order to make the
paper or the material parts OF it accessible, at q
