DAILY AND WEEKLY.
A the New York Daily Journal of Commerce
"A 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 sentments,eX-
cept to- say that as in time past so in time future,
we shall endeavor to make it good and honest
paper and to take such views of the various topics
that may come up for discussion, Us shall seem to
us right and proper, and for the best interests OF
the country and of mankind. The JoUndi0f Com
merce is neither a Wing nor Democratic paperin
the usual sense of those terms, much less is it u
neutral paper in the usual sense of that term. On
the contrary 1t Is very apt TO have opinions on po-
tica as well rs other subjects and to express them.
But it is bound by no party trammes, yields to no
party dictation, 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 ut the same time opposed to what is call Adolf
tionism, believing that it has done immense mis-
chief to both master and slave, and that its preva-
ence in the non-saveholding States TO give it
the control of our elections and legislation, would
cause the sun of Liberty which has risen with such
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 our children not ourselves
will see the day when the republic of Liberia shall
exert overAfrea an influence not unlike that which
the United States exercises over America.
The journal of Commerce is called Free Trade
paper; that is, il is in favor of higher duties
than arc required for the wants of the government
economically administered The present Tariff il
regards as 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 Sec
ondary importance, being received by telegraph, at
an expense of several thousand dollars per year.
It's reviews ofthe markets are unsurpassed. The at
tcnton 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 il. 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 arc 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
paper or the material parts of it accessible Mt a
very low price, to all who may desire to receive it,
we have decided, about the 1st of October, to com
mence the publication of n smaller daily paper in
addition to the large one, to be called the Journal
