In issuing their Prospectus for 1856, the propri-
etors of the Post take it for granted, that the pub
lie are already tolerably we'll acquainted with the
character of a paper that has grown strong during
the storms and sunshine of THIRTY.FOUR
YEARS. Their object always has been, as it re-
mains to be to publish a weekly paper for the fami-
ly circle, which shall not only amuse, but also in
struct and improve, those who may read it. To
accomplish this object, the best articles are selected
or condensed from foreign and domestic periodicals,
and original articles of an instructive character
procured, when possible.
Letters from Foreign Lands; the most interest,"
ing portions of the Weekly News of the world;
Sketches of Life, Adventure and Character; Selec-
ted and Original Articles upon Agriculture; Ac-
count OF the Produce and Stock Markets; and q
Bank Note List are included among the solid infor-
nation to be constantly found in the Post.
But the mind requires q wider range-it has fa-
%culties which delight in the humorous and lively,
the imaginative and poctical. These faculties also
must have their appropriate food, else they become
enfeebled, and as q consequence, the intellect be-
comes narrow and one-sided, and is not able to take
an enlarged and generous view of human nature
and its destiny. To satisfy these heaven-implan-
ted cravings of our mental being, we devote a fair
proportion of the Post to FICTION, POETRY and
HUMOR.
Among our contributors in the first two of the
above Departments, are several of the most gifted
writers in the land. We also draw freely for Fic-
ton and Poetry upon the best periodicals in this
country and Great Britain. We design common
cling a New Story by Mrs. SoUTnwoRTH, author of
1.-THE Deserted Wife," Miriam" &C., in our first
paper of January next.
ENGRANINGS, illustrative of important pla-
ces and actions, of Agricultural and other new in
ventions, with others of a Humorous, though re-
fined character, are also freely given.
NOTICES OF THE PRESS.
This is one of the few large papers filed with
life and thought, instead of numbering trash. Its
management is marked by liberality, courtesy,
ability and tact. 1t employs the best literary tai
ent, and spares no pains or expense. AS a family
paper, one OF literary and general intelligence, we
cordially it.-Cayuga Chief, AUBURN,
N. Y. =
Our readers may rely upon it, that Deacon and
Peterson will be as good as their word. So far as
we canjudge by years of observation, these publish
ers do rather more than they promise and their
paper is edited with marked ability. 1t is singular
y free from silly sentimentalism and buster, but
is of healthy tone on all subjects, always moderate
in language, but always mildly advocating the
right. We find it one of the most generally at
%tractive papers in our exchang Saturday Tisito,
PhSbug Pa.
1t is the best literary and family paper in the
Union.-Rock Islander, Rock Island, Ill.
1t is emphutically one of the very best literary
newspapers in the whole country, and deserves the
unparalleled success with which it has met under it's
present enlightened and liberal proprietorship.
The greater its circulation in this State, tie less,
probably, is Sur gain pecuniarily yet we must
pronounce it a NEST excellent journal, and worthy
the patronage of everybody. The contributors to
the Post are among the finest writers in America,
= and the editors articles are always characterized
by truth and taste.--Jersey Blue, Camden, N. j.
We have heretofore spoken in high terms of the
T merits of the Post,as one of the best papers on our
exchange list, and we regard it rs one of the best
literary papers to be found anywhere. Its edito-
rails are written with ability, and take a liberal,
s independent and comprehensive view of men and
things Star and 4dre'Tiser, Wrightsviue, Pa.
1t is deservedly one of the most popular public
Journals in the United States, combining as it does,
in a literary point of view, all the interest of the
best magazines, with a vast amount of general in
telligence.-RepuJlican, Litchfeld, CT.
