THE EALLEGHANIAN.-On Monday last
the following remark was made to us
" Vel, the election IS oUer, and I suppose
that nog THE ALLEGHANIAN a0iU be dis
continued" This remark, we imagine
GHANIAN, after discontinuance of few
months, renewed publication about the
commencement of the political campaign
Just closed
For fear the idea contained in the re-
mark quoted may generally prevail, we
beg to say this THE ALLEGHANIAN was
not campaign paper, and its publication
will not now be suspended. When we re-
newed its publication, over three months
ago, we invested a considerable sum of
money in the purchase of new type, &c,
with the intention Of making the paper a
permanent t1Stitution. This is yet our in
tention. We have received and are re-
ceiving frcm the public good measure Of
support, and think we can see our way
clearly in the future.
Our subscription list Is now larger than
It ever was since the foundation of the
paper Within the past three months we
have booked about t,ro h,ollrca and ffiy
new subscribers, and still the names come
rolling in. If this sort Of pressure con-
tnues, we shall shortly feel justified in
laying claim to what VIC may have now for
all that we know-''the largest circulation
Of any paper in the county"
Since the resuscitatiou of TIE ALLIE
GHANIAN, It's space has necessarily been
mainly devoted to politics and matters DO
iticaL Hereafter, this WI not be the
case. Politics will Of course continue to
receive fair share of attention; but, in
addition, our columns will each week CON
tam that variety Of poetry, tales, sketches,
Biographies, &c, &c, 50 eagerly sought
after by the reader Of country journal.
TThe general and local news departments c
wHi continue to receive especial attention. l
During the long winter evenings now J
rapidly approaching, every household in
Cambria county ought to take newspa-
per. 1t IS the most agreeable, the most |
obstructive, and by odds the best and
eheapest frcside companion attainable-
Try The ALLEGHANIAN, and be convinc-
d- We win send specimen numbers to
Rny person desiring them. z
