The readers Of the CONTINENTAL are aware Of The
important position il mas assumed, OF the influence
which it exerts, and Of the brilliant array OF poi5i-
calapd literary talent Of the highest order which
supports it. No publication Of the kind has, IN
this country, so successfully combined the energy
and freedom Of the daily newspaper with the high

is either a power ia the land or it is nothing. That
the Continental is not the latter is abUHdant3y

no publication ever enjoyed before in this country.
While the Continental will express decided
