PROSPECTUS OF THE
BALTIMORE WEEKLY DISPATCH,
FOR 1856.

TN presenting the claims of the DIspATCH to the
L support of the public, the proprietors would call
attention TO the fact that it is the only paper of its
class, exclusively literary in It's character, publish
ed in Baltimore or the South. Various efforts
have heretofore been made to establish papers of
its character but they have not been attended with
success. This, however, we are happy to say, is
not the case with the DIspArcH, as It's subscrip-
ton list is steadily increasing, and its circulation
is now much larger than that of any other weekly
paper ever published in Baltimore. We feel thank
ful for the liberal support already received, and
shall endeavor to merit it by desire to promote
the amusement and instruction of our thousands of
readers We therefore, ask for it a continued and
increased support, not only from the people as
Baltimore, but generally. We will not go into any
lengthy exposition of the policy it intends to pur
sue; but will remark in brief, that wherever its
opinion may be expressed upon the great political
questions of the day, it will be upon the side of
the Union and its laws, Its literary character will,
however, claim particular attention, and in this
spect we shall endea,or to make it equal 10 any
paper of its kind now published. The utmost
care will be taken to admit nothing in its columns
that will offend the most fastdous, and at the
time, make it an instructive and entertaining sami-
Iy paper, filled with choice original and selected
Tales, Poetry, and miscellaneous Reading.
TERMS.-The DISPATCH is printed on large
SIZE sheet, and is furnished to mail subscribers at
TWO DOLLARS PER ANNuM, payable Invariably
in adrance. IPPostmasters, news agents. and
others. forwarding ten dollars, will be entitled t6
six copies for year; twenty dollars fourteen
copies, and larger clubs in proportion. 1t is also
served regularly to city subscribers at THREE
CENTS, payable to the carrier at the end Of the
month.
A5-Specimen numbers will be sent free when de-
sired, to any part Of the country.
