FOR 1860.

The PrOprietors Of The Boston JOURNAL, in
announcing their Prospectus for 1860. take
pleasure 10 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 a close. livery month has viii
messed large increase in its circulation as COM
pared with the previous year, and at no former
time have Its columns been so crowd. with the
iavors Of its advertising patrons and friends
This expression Of confidence, and bestowal of
patronage, mas enabled it to maintain the posi-
ton which its cOntemB orariss have assigned to
it, rs the
Best Newspaper in New England
and has enabled it 70 compete successfully with
all its contemporaries, in the fuilness, accuracy
and pr0mptness with which it has published ac-
counts OF every matter of interest which has
TRANSFERRED during the year. That HE 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 as
its field, neither labor or money have been spar.
ed TO furnish the earliest intelligence OF all mat
tiers OF Importance in the different New England
States-and the result has been Al circulation in
each Of them, with the exception Of Connectl-
cut much larger than that OF any of The local
papers.
The coming year is to be one of the most i'm
portant and exciting which has ever occurred in
the history OF this country. In il the Great
Presidential contest is to be fought which is not
only TO decide what men are 10 be our rulers for
the next four years, but there is also TO be cou-
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
re'asserTlon aud maintenance OF which can alone
restore that quietness and peace and prosperity
10 the country which 1t so much needs. it 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 will
agitate the country. IL is the intention of the
Prophet rs 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-
perlenced Reporters, and by able and reliable
Correspondents at all centres Of political move
ments, it shall be first in chronicling every move
ment which can be of interest to men of all MIR
ties, and OF all views. Of our ability to do this
we need but refer to our success in similar efforts
IN the campaign 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 JOURNAL of greater
interest and value to the active, thinking, work.
ing men of New England, we intend that it shall
lose none OF Its popularity as a first class FAM
LY NEWSPAPER. New features of.interest in
this respect will be introduced and among them
we are happy to announce that our old friend
HAwsER MARTINGALE," whose
"salt Water Bubbles"
years ago added so much of interest to the col
ums Of The JOURNAL, and were beyond all
question the most popular series of newspaper
stories ever published, has consented to rene W
them in The JOURNAL, and that he will COM
mence them at the beginning of the new year -
we are sure that all who have read his stories
will be pleased at this announcement. Thev
Will appear in the daily, semj-weekly and week
ly editions Other improvements, which we
cannot now announce, are in contemplation. and
will render The JOURNAL second to no other in
the country as Family and General Newspa-
per.
