THE proprietor of the NEW YORK LEDGER is
i gratited OF having 1t in his power to announce
in his Prospectus for the year-lS59that all the old
popular and eminent writers OF the LEDGER staff
have been retained, and new ones added. Among the
latter we are pleased to announce the name of the Hon.

to be continued during the entire year. under the IL
| tie of "THE MT. VERNON PAPERS" For these
articles alone we have already paid Mr. Everett l0r
the sum of TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS.
AS an indication of the popularity of the LEDGER,
need only state the simple fact that its circulation
is larger than that of any other TEN Literary papers
in the country Its great success is owing to the facts
that Its proprietor secures the best writer's IN the
country, and spares no expense in getuug up the
BEST FAMILY PAPER-apaper ofhigh moral tone.
The exalted reputation of its contributors, the pract
cal and invariably pure and healthy character OF all
its articles the which Is taken that not even one
offensive word shall appear in its columns and the su
perority of its tales and sketches, have gained for
the NEW YORK LEDGER position that no liters-
~ paper has ever before reached. We feel, and al
ways have felt, since the LEDGER attained its inn
menae circulation that heavy responsibility rests
upon us, and have endeavored 10 discharge that re-
sponsibty conscentiousy, feeling confident that ul-
timaely we should receive the thanks OF tnousands
| and tens of thousands OF families.
