A o1sh oapitdl, amply sufficient to commence and
10 continue the enterprise has been subscribed and
secured to be advanced by a number OF wealthy and
influential gentlemen; and we are insured daily
circulation surpassing that of any paper now pub

resentatives Of the States and Of the people annually
assemble, and where prominent men Of all parties
periodically sojourn for many months, is considered
by us and by our friends as the most favorable one
for the publication Of the ORGAN or rHx AnEnIcAN

vocacy of the doctrines and policy Of this party shall
give us claim to its support we know we shall de-
serve, and we trust we shall receive IT,

define the basis on which the Anerican Organ Is es-
tablishcd than BY presenting the following ertrsct
which we copy and adopt from an address OF former
