Boston Daily Advertiser.

The coming year will be full Of interest ia
all branches Of thought and activity. 1t will
DC decided whether the country will continue
TO be guided by the national policy under
which We have been so wonderfully prospered
since the republican party came into power
or will turn aside into new aud uutricd paths
A harvest Of legislative projects is ripening
some Of them wild and impracticable, others
of hr.roaching significance and Importance,
affecting almost every trade and occupation
in the land, and employments of all our peo-
pie. To these are to be added brood Of so.
cial questions, crowding upon the public at.
tcntiou and affecting for good or i'll the very
foundations Of social order and happiness.
To all these questions political, economical,
social--the Daily Advertiser will now as
heretofore give its best attention and bring
to the discussion of them Just, intelligent and
impartial spirit. The object Of every jour.
nal which hopes to commend its counsel to
the judgment of discriminating and fair.
minded readers is, first to inform itself Of
the truth aud second to enforce it by the
best means in its power. To accomplish
this object is our purpose and constant en-
deavor
Nor do We forget, in the discussion Of pub
lie questions, the varied demands which au
cxactiug public makes upon all newspapers
protesting to reflect in any degree the busy
and changing life Of the times Intelligent
observers and trained writer's, with peculiar
facilities for obtaining information in the great
capitals and centres Of interest at home and
abroad, will continue to make the Daily Adj
yertiser the medium Of their correspondence; ;
and their number will be increased as new ex-
igencies call for their services. Special pains
will be taken to secure full and trustworthy
telegraphic correspondence from Washington
during the session now in progress, and from
other American cities.
In the department Of general aud local
news, it is our purpose to give as prompt and
full record Of each days important events
as the telegraph and mails and special report
ers can furnish, aud as is consistent with en-
tire accuracy--making the record both inter.
esting for the passing hour and fit TO be
referred to hereafter, This will include re-
ports of public meetings Of every character,
tho records Of the courts, the transactions OF
commercial, literary and relormatory assoca-
tions, the progress Of legislation aud admins
tration, national, State and municipal, aud the
daily incidents which make up the life Of the
citizens Of republic. The attention of skill
full and Independent writers will continue to
be given to the department Of music and the
drama, and to general literary criticism.
The financial, commercial and marine rec.
ords will remain in the hands of the compe.
tent and experienced reporters who have long
had charge of them aud have made them an
authority with the commercial and business
public. To these has been recently added q
real estate record, which will present from
day to day, as accurately as possible the
changes and fluctuations in this branch Of
business. The effort to keep up these varied
departments, aud to secure for all Of them the
reliance and confidence OF experts, requires a
large expenditure Of labor and money, which
we shall not hesitate to increase as rapidly as
the business interests of this community de-
mand it, or as the public confidence in our
efforts will enable us to do so. And in add.
ton to all these regular departments Of u
well-organised newspaper, we shall give such
selections Of current miscellany and contribu-
tons on topics Of special interest, from time
to time, as will make the Daily Advertiser as
welcome visitor at the breakfast table and
the Preside as it has long been necessary
one at all places of professional and business
