WEEKLY, sEMIWEEKLY, AND DAILY

The Weekly Sun il too widely known to
require an extended recommendation : but
the reasons which have already given it fifty
thousand subscribers, and which will, we
hope, give it many thousands more, arc AZ
follows: =
1t is a ti,st-rate newspaper. All the news
OF the day will be found in it, condensed when
'unimportant, at full length when of moment
and always presented in a clear, ineligible,
and interesting maHner.
1t is a frst-rate family paper, fill Of enter
tanning and instructive reading of every kind,
but containing nothing that can offend the
most delicate and scrupulous taste.
It is q frst-rate story paper. Tho best
tales and romances Of current literature arc
carefully selected and legibly printed in it's
pages.
It is a arst-rate agricultural paper. The
most fresh and instructive articles Oh agri-
cultural topics regularly appear in this do
partment.
1t is an Independent political paper, be-
longing to no party and wearing no collar.
It fights for principle, and for the election of
The best men to office. It especially devotes
it's energies to tho exposure of the great cor
r%uptions that now weaken and disgrace our
county, and threaten to undermine Repub-
lican institutions altogether. It has no fear
Of ~lnaves, and asks no favors from their sup
portcrs.
It reports the fashions for tho ladies' and
the markets for the mon, especially the cat
tie markets, to which it pays particular at
cntien.
Finally, it is tho cheapest paper published.
One dollar a year will secure it for any sub
scribor. It is not necessary to get up a club
in order to have Tho Weekly Sun at this rate.

70 PROSPECTUS OF TIE LoUIslAsIAs.
THE LOUISIANIAN

was established to meet q necessity
that has long, and sometimes, pain
fully been felt to exist.
It was proposed through this
j Journal to furnish to OUR PEOPLE
the information - guidance en-
couragement and counsel. which
they so much needed in the transi-
ton from their former unfortunate
condition into the new and better
estate Of American citizenship.
In resuming its publication, we
re-assure our readers and friends,
that, holding this journal true to it's
original aims, we shall honestly
labor to make it an efficient agent
in furthering the interests of the
colored people Of the Nation, and
elevating the race that it especially
represents.
POLICY.
As our motto Indicates, the
Lou1s1AN1AN shall b a:"Repubttean at
all times and under all circunn-
stances" We shall advocate the
security and enjoyment of broad
civil liberty, the absolute equality
of all men before the law, and an
impartial distribution of honor and
patronage to all who merit them.
DESTROYS of allaying animosities,
Of celebrating the memory of the
bitter past, of promoting harmony
and union among all classes and
between all interests, we shall
advocate the removal Of all disabili-
ties, foster kindness and forbear-
ance, where malignity and resent
ment reigned, and seek for fairness
md justice where wrong and OPP
preston prevailed. Thus united in
our aims and objects. we shall con-
serve our best interests, and elevate
ou- -ioble State, to an enviable posi-
ton among her sister States, by the
development of her illimitable re-
sources, and secure the full benefits
of the mighty changes in the history
and condition at the people and the
country. +
Believing tha there can be no
true libarty without the supremacy
of law, We shall urge q strict and
undiscriminating administration Of
sr,cAioo '"
TAXATION
We shall support the doctrine Of
nm equitable division of taxation
among all classes, q faithful collec-
ton of the revenues, economy in
the expenditures, oonformably with
the exigencies of the State or
country and the discharge of every
obligation.
EDUCATION
We shall sustain the carrying out
OF the provisions of the act establish
ing our common school system, and
urge as q paramount duty the edu-
cation of our youth, as vitality con-
nected with their own enlighten-
ment. and the security and stability
Of o Republican Government.
FINAL. |
By a generous, manly, indepen-
dent, and judicious course, we
shall strive to rescue our paper,
from an ephemora], and temporary
existence, and establish il upon a
that If we cannot command"
We shall at all events observe"
success.
