the BEsT WRITER'S, and Always shall have them,
cost what 1T may. Whatever we have promised in
advertisements heretofore, readers will be ar
us witness that we have always performed: and not
onlv that but great deal more. For instance, in
our last Prospectus, we announced story by HEN
RY WARD BERC FER, which we gave; but we did
not announce HORACE GREELEY's AUloBIoGRA-
PLY, which we are now publishing; nor did we an
nounce the series of Articles entitled ADVICE TO
Young MEN, by the Twelve College Presidents.
The rule on which the LEDGER is conducted is TO
get the best feverythng, whether it has been pro-
is from their desire to Obtain the very best piper
that they give the LEDGER the preference; hence its
unparalleled and unapprOached circula ion, being
