Identified more than any other paper with the growth
and increase of the commerce, the industry and
prosperity of the PESINsULAR STATE,
Its proprietors are determined that its future
shall be worthy of the confidence and support OF
the friends of TRUTH, JUSTICE, FREEDOM and
HUMANITY.
} POLITICAL.
1t will aim to be bold and fearless in advocating
the principles of the REPUBLICAN PARTY, which, II
faithfully carried out in the councils of our nation
will save country from the evils now besetting
it. and will make it the freest and best government
the world ever saw.
1t will discuss with faithfulness and candor all
the great questions agitating the public mind from
day to day. On the question of the extension OF
HUMAN SLAVERY, it will stand forth its uncompro-
missing foe, believing it most religiously does,
that slavery is the primary cause of the present
conflict between the North and the South and that
it leaves fearful blight upon the country nation
seeking to spread and uphold it,
THE WAR.
1t will also advocate vigorous and determined
prosecution of the present war against treason and
disunion, until the last vestge of this most I'M
natural and wicked rebellion is crushed out
NEWS DEPARTMENT.
The proprietors are resolved to spare no pains or
expense to make the ADVERTISER equal, in all that
constitutes good newspaper, to any published in
the West. With this view an able corps of re-
porters, writer's and correspondents has been en-
gagged, whose attention every passing event of
Importance will claims Arrangements have been
mpde ensuring for this paper the most complete
compendium of foreign intelligence published in
any paper west of New York, while our facilities
for obtaining domestic news military, political and
general, are not surpassed by auy other journal.
Besides having paid correspondents in all the
camps West and South, we shall also maintain one
at Washington during the session of Congress,
and shall always be prepared to send special re-
porters wherever occasion may require. Thus, as

old, rich and poor have reveled in its enchanting
stories of wisdom, romance, art poetry, and genial
humOr; and its praise is
