Double Sheet Crescent.
.On Monday morning we shall resume the pubhca"
ton Of the Double Sheet Crescent on plan similar
to that adopted last season, which found so much
favor in the eyes of the reading public. Indeed, were
we opposed instead of being in favor of the plan, we
would be constrained to its adoption in justice to our
subscribers because of the munifccn and solid adver
Using patronage that is flowing in upon us with a
continually augmenting volume We are thankful for
the kindness Of our friends, and shall endeayor to
merit its continuance by bringing out newspaper, in
the best sense of the term--a newspaper edited by
men who, while they entertain decided views will, in
the expression of those views, endeavor to offend
neither against decorum outrage the feelings OF
their opponents. We all have right to our opinions,
but none Of us enjoy the privilege Of giving offensive
expression to those opinions
Here we deem it due to our friends to say word
in regard to ourselves. As we do not indulge in
semtweekly or weekly pufiings of our own business,
we may be excused few words Since the Crescent
came under the control of its present proprietors
there has hardly been day and certainly not week
or month in which its business has not steadily and
permanently increased Our daily subscription has
doubled our weekly paper penetrates all sections OF
this and adjacent Sates and the advertising depart
1nents of either must tell their own tale. We are
well satisfied with our present and future and in re-
gard to the circulation of our Journal while not say
ing that it is larger than any OF contemporaries,
we do most positively state that, were subscription
lists transferable like other property VIC would not
swap ours for that of any contemporary without we
obtained very large odds. We think we may safely
venture thus much without laying ourselves amenabe
to the charge Of Ostentatlousy paradng our affairs
before the public.
Our double sheet on Monday will contain vast
amount and variety of literary and miscellaneous
matter tales poetry anecdotes, local. Geographic,
and foreign and domestic news, together with the
usual quantity of editorial and other original articles
We think it will be capital paper and as we intend
making Mondays double sheet permanent instr
tuition of New Orleans, shall print large extra
edition-large were our extra editions last season.
they rarely came fully up to the demand
With this explanation, we make respectful bow
to the public and retire, remarkng that, il we sue
coed as well during the next eighteen months as we
have in the past, we shall publish paper superior in
all its departments to any the people OF the South
West have ever known. We would do so now ii the
rocket was as strong as the spirit.
