THE WEEKLY PRESS.

| THE WEEKLY PRESS has been established
| on secure and permanent foundation; but it
| is, in reality, a marvellous example of the de-
gree of favor which righty-conducted LIT
| ERARY, POLITICAL AND NEWS JOURNAL
| lightened Public.
The general features of the Paper, in add-
| ton to its POLITICAL AND NEWS DEPART
NETS, will be POETRY, SKETCHES, BIOG-
RAPHY and Original and Selected TALES,
chosen for their lessons of Life, illustrations
| of History, depicture of Manners, and general
merit, and adapted, in their variety, to the
tastes of both sexes and all ages.
THE LITERARY CHARACTER
| OF THE WEEKLY PRESS, now universally
| acknowledged TO be of an elevated stamp,
shall not only maintain its present high stan
ding, but shall be enhanced by important and
valuable contributions from able Writers.
THE POLITICAL COURSE
OF THE WEEKLY PRESS need not be enlar-
ged upon here. Independent, steady and
fearless, it has battled unwaveringly and ze al
ously in defence of THE RIGHTS OF THE
PEOPLE against Executive Usurpatiou and
Unfair and Tyrannical Legislation; ever de-
claring and adhering to the doctrine that
POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY constitutes the
fundamental basis of our free institutions and
that the intelligence and patriotism of our
Citizens will always be preservative of just,
wise and salutary Government. These are
the principles to which THE WEEKLY PRESS
has been committed, and to these it will ad-
