OUR ENLARGEMENT.

We this week present to the patrons OF
the UNioS AND JOURNAL, the paper in an
enlarged form by the addition Of nearly
five columns Of matter, and this is done
wiihou, increasing the price, although the
enlarged size will cause an increase in our
annual expenses Of at least five hundred
dollars. Since our connection with the
JOURNAL we have never solicited directly
or indirectlya single subscription, aud what
ever circulation il has obtained, is due sole.
" to its own merits. That circulation is
very fair, though not what il should he,
and we need the help OF those whose views
il seeks to uphold and enforce to extend
the same commensurate with its field Of Ia
Dor. From the many kind letters which
we very often receive, and which, whether
privately acknowledged, or not, ure always
gratefully read, and their writers not for
gotten, VIC are led to the belief that this
paper has not wholly failed to meet the
wishes Of its patrons.
Will our friends please lend us what
help they can by personally trying to in
crease our lists? All such favors will be
appreciated and reciprocated.

suggestive remarks relative to the manner

of executive power, there can be no doubt.
Their conduct has been great injury to
human nature. Not long since was ey.
