The publishers Of the SATURDAY EVEN
ING PosT feel constrained TO make again
their acknowledgements to the reading pub
lie for the liberal support which theipaper
receives. To show that they are not un-
mindful of the return which such patronage
requires, it would be entirely sufficient to
refer the reader to the established character


THE FIRESIDE FRIEND
which is pre-eminently the designation of
this paper. As newspaper, dependant
upon public patronage, grows by what it
feeds on, the publishers flatter themselves
that THE PosT has increased in interest and
value, with the steady and gratifying support
which has been accorded toit, for Pc
riod of


A QUARTER OF A CENTURY.
In this time which has served for the life and
death ofwhole generations of periodicals.,
and the rise, meridian, and decline of many
a rival, The Posr has keptth even tenor Of
its way, by its own intrinsic health and
strength--now following, oftener leading
the public taste, but not departing from its
independence to minister to the transient
newspaper follies, which, compared 10
the existence Of the Post, are indeed ephe-
neral. We shall continue in this path en-
deavoring, in the


NEWS DEPARTMENT
to present the latest and best authenticated
intelligence, divested of party hue, and
interested bias, and resting solely on the
basis Of truth, as far as it is ascertanable
We endeavor TO select and publish irl-
telligence Of value and importance to citi>
zens engaged in all the three great interests
AGRICULTURE, COMMERCE AND


MANUFACTURES.
In political intelligence we recognise only
one party and that is


OUR CoUNTRY--oUR WHOLE COUNTRY.
We know no sectional interests in our pat
rloilsm--no party lines in our politics--no
sectarlanlsm in our religion, but print and
publish for


'Ihe greatest Good of the greatest Number.
