The Proprietors Of THE BosroN JOURNAL, in
announcing their Prospectus for 1860, take
pleasure in saying that in no wear since its es
tablishment has The JOURNAL received more
marks Of the confidence OF the great reading
public Of New England than in the one which Is
now drawing to close. Every month has wit
messed large increase IN its circulation, com
pared with the previous year, and at no former
time have its columns been so crowded with the
favors Of its advertising patrons and friends
This expression Of confidence, and bestowal Of
patronage, has enabled it to maintain the posi-
ton which its contemporaries have assigned to
il, as the
Rest Newspaper in New England
and has enabled it to compete successfully with
all its contemporaries in the fulness, accuracy
and promptness with which it has published ac-
counts Of every matter Of interest which has
transpired during the year. That THE Journal
has done this is evident from the fact that its
Daily Circulation Is Treble
that of any newspaper Of its class in New Eng
land. Regarding the whole Of New England ~
its field, neither labor money have been spar
ed to furnish the earliest intelligence Of all mat
! tiers Of importance in the different New England
States-aud the result has been a circulation in
each of them, with the exception Of Connecti-
cut much larger than that of any Of the local
| papers.
The coming year is to be one Of the most i'm
the history OF this country. In it the Great
Presidential contest is to be fought which is not
only to decide what men are to be our rulers for
the next four years, but there is also to be con-
/ test, exciting and determined beyond any of its
/ predecessors, for the return Of the Government
/ Of this nation to those principles which inspired
governed the Fathers OF the Republic, and the
/ reiasscrtion and maintenance OF which can alone
restore that quieiness and peace and prosperity
to the country which it 50 much needs. 1t will
/ be year, more than any other, in which every
thinking, intelligent New England man will de-
sire the earliest and fullest information Of every
movement bearing upon the questions which viii
agtate the country. IL is the intention Of the
Proprietcrs OF The JoURNAL that in its columns
that information shall be promptly obtained
and that in the coming Presidential Campaign
as In the last, by the unrestricted use of the
Telegraph, by the labors Of the best and most ex-
perieuced Reporters, and by able and reliable
Correspondents at all centres OF political move
ments, it shall be first in chroncling every move
ment which can be Of interest to men of all par
ties, and of all views. OF our ability to do this
We need but refer to our success in similar eforts
in the campfin Of 1856, and to the increased
facilities which the experience and increased
means OF the past three years have placed at our
command.
While we thus make The JoURSAL Of greater
interest and value TO the active thinking, work
ing men Of New England we intend that it shal
lose none OF us popularity as q nrst class FAME
LY NEWSPAPER. New features Of interest il
this respect viii be introduced, and among then
We are happy to announce that our old FRIEND
HAwsER MARTLNGALE," whose
'sSalt Water Bubbles,
years ago added so much Of interest to the col
ums Of The JOURNAL, and were beyond al
question the most popular series Of newspaper
stories ever published, has consented to renew
them in the JOURNAL, and that he viii com
mence them at the beginning of the new year -
We are sure that all who have read his storie.
viii be pleased at this announcement. They
will appear in the daily, semi-weeklv and week
ly editions. Other Improvements, which W.
cannot now announce, are il contemplation, ant
will render The Journal second to no other II
the country as Family and General Newspa-
