SESSION STATESMAN.

SESSION STATESMAN.
nATLY, SEMI-WEEKL AND WEEK
- 1--WE shall issue our paper, for the
ensuing sessi on of the Legislature, 10 single
subscribers, or clubs, on the following terms
After receiving club, we will afterwards
add to the same clubs single subsc ribcl S, at the
club rates, as is our practice with regular sub
scribers.
Our friends will thus see that we fix sub
scrptions at very low terms, in the expe :tation
that our session circulation will be sufficiently
extensive to justify our very moderate prices.
The coming session of the Legislature will
be unusually interesting. Many of the gene
raj md local issues of the last canvass, in this
State, will come up for consideration. The
School Question, Taxation, Currency, General
Finance, the Maine Law, or the Liquor Cues
ion in some shape, our Federal Relations, and
not least in importance, the Judicial Organiza-
tou of the State, are all liable or likely to be-
come subjects of Legislative action, during the
progress of the ensuing session. The general
expectation that by the Biennial provision of
the Constitution, the action of this branch of
the State Government will be compelled TO
suffice FOR two years, will add unusual impor-
tance and interest to the proceedings of this
winter,-more especially than all, to the FL
nancial concerns Of the State, for the next two
years.
We shall engage efficient and competent re-
porters and secure thorough and ample trans
crpts of the proceedings.
| Full attention will also be given to the action
OF Congress and the General Government, and
| to Foreign and Domestic intelligence
| We trust our friends throughout the State
will give us their aid in circulating our Session
papers.
Postmasters are requested to act as Agents
fol this purpose.
157 1t is very important that as many names
! is possible shall be sent in early

GxA rich man NAV wea, =. torn .,

ES- A rich man may wear torn coat,
threadbare vest, or worn out hat; it is
proper in him if it but suits his fancy; but
a man with moderate means must dress
well, or he is despised by his fellows. The
former may dress poorly, because he can
not afford it. The man who has more
money than he wants can borrow as much
as he pleases; the man who has no money
and wants it, often experiences difficulty ii
borrowing dollar. Poverty travels bare
footed over rugged path; industry is har
messed to carriage, and wealth rides in it
