Inv before our readers the enlarged

they will like it. II will be seen that
we have added considerably to its
longitude and latitude, and have
widened somewhat the columns, be-
sides increasing their number, max
ing large increase of space. We
will just shy, however, that it is not a
fair sample, in several respects, oil
what we intend it sh al be. The
length of the speech which we con-
clude this week, precludes the choice
variety we intend usually giving on
our outside pages. Then besides the
handsome Long Primer type which
partially appears this week, and OF

the importance of properly support
