PROSPECTUS OF THE
NASHVILLE AMERICAN

~ sA - - ~ 4&A % 80 - 49, ~ sA9As
This faithful aud unwavering adv ocate
of Democratic principles. views the result
OF the late National and State elections,
as only an additional incentive to every
sincere lover of his country and its insti-
tuiions, TO look more closely than ever
into the administration of public affairs
by the peoples servants. 1t will be the
province OF The AMERICAN to approve right
and denOunee error as heretofore, and to
give the people such information as will
lead them TO correct conclusions. The
facts il will give will be without bias, up
on which its readers can form their own
opinions. Time and the recurrence of
popular elections, show that very large
portion of the voters of the Union act
from the impulse of he moment rather
than from settled convictions in regard to
correct principles of government. Hence
the greater necessity for the use of pub
nc Journals to obtain juster and more set
tied views on governmental questions.
This THE AMERICAN will endeavor with
the utmost pains, to supply.
The AMERICAN will continue the well
Snown and highly appreciated extensive
volume of general news, State and Nation
/ al, and viii strive to deserve what it al
/ ready enjoys, the name of being the best
newspaper South OF the Ohio river, re-
gardless of politics or location
THE WEEKLY AMERICAN.
/ Will be furnished in future, at the exceed
ingly l)w price of S1.00 per annam; six
months 75cts; three months 40cts. The
Semi weekly by mail $40 and the Daily
$1,000 per annum, Postage paid. No pa
