As recognition of the extensive pat
ronage bestowed upon the Weekly edi-
ton of the UNION AND AMERICAN by the
people of Tennessee especially, and of the
Southern States generally, we have
enlarged it to nearly double its for
mer size, and viii hereafter furnish our pat
rons with paper containing SEVENTY TWO
COLUMNS OF READING MATTER This
makes our Weekly the LARGEST PAPER
PUBLISHED IN THE STATE At the same
time, we shall give to the Weekly certain
new features, such, for instance, as
complete AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT
which viii embrace great variety of in
formation that viii be valuable to the
Stock Raiser, the Farmer, the Gardener,
and the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS with other
features that viii make it a CON-
PLETE FAMILY NEWSPAPER. Special
pains viii be taken in the preparation of
its different departments, and no matter
of interest TO the Professional Man, the
Merchant, the Farmer, the Mechanic, the
Laborer, or the Housewife, will escape
attention in its columns. With largely
increased space, we shall hereafter be en-
abled to devote attention to many matters
Of interest which have necessarily been
neglected heretofore, by which the value
of the paper win be greatly enhanced,
while the cost to the subscriber will be
the same: thus furnishing them the
LARGEST, THE BEST, AND THE CHEAPEST
FAMILY NEWSPAPER IN THE SOUTH.
We thus take pleasure in greeting our
friends and patrons with grateful &C
acknowledgements for their earnest and con-
slant support. They have enabled Us to
produce paper worthy of them and our
selves-worthy of our State and the
cause of public liberty and Constitutional
Government. Through the mutations of
thiry-five years, ithas adhered to prin-
ciple, to the rights and interests of the
people. And of all the contests it has
waged none has been of greater impor-
lance than the one it foresees in the i'm
mediate future. The consolidationists
and corruptionists are planning,
with unusual skill and energy, for
a continuance of power, and the final
overthrow of Public Liberty. They are
as INSCRIPTIONS as they are powerful.
They are endeavoring to divide and
ALLEVIATE the people from principle, by the
most insidious appeals to prejudices and
fancies. They are trying to defeat the
great triumph of white suffrage in Ten
nessee, by introducing discord among our
people. Our only resource is steadfast
adherence to principle. Whenever we
depart from it, we will become weak and
impotent.
In this critical period the UNION AND
AMERICAN is sentinel on the watch
tower. 1t has its answering hosts, and
to-day we send forth more papers than
ever before. But we do not reach half
the people of Tennessee. We Would be
glad to speak to them all. We ask
our readers to join US in extending our
list. We are making it desirable to all
classes Of readers-the Farmer, the Me-
chanic, the Merchant and the Profess
sional Man. We intend to make it more
and more attractive by increased exertion
and expense.
We have been the pioneer in reducing
the price of subscription. The UNION
AND AMERICAN was the first 81 weekly
published in Tennessee after the war.
We intend to make it still better and
cheaper. We appeal to its friends TO aid
us in the effort. In view of the elections
to occur in August and November-the
latter to fix the political destiny of the
State for years to Come-we ask each
one of our subscribers to act as an agent
to send us in at least one additional sub
scriber. We offer the following liberal
terms for the WEEKLY: " ra.
