AND


NEW ATTRACTIONS.


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 theirpaper
receives. 10 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
of


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 to it, for a pe-
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 PosT has kept the even tenor of
its way, by its own intrinsic health and
strength--now following, oflener 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 ascertainable.
We endeavor TO select and publish in
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 parry and that is


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


The greatest Good Of the greatest Number


To give the SATURDAY PosT an import,
ance beyond that temporary one which it
derives from being the record ofcurrent|le
vents and to make it acceptable to the


FAMILY CIRCLE,
We give to its columns the character ofa
WEEKLY MAGAZINE, embracing,
Original Tales and Sketches. ORIGINAL
Verse and Essays; History and Historiet-
tes; Biography and Legends; Science and
Statistics; Revolutionry Annals; Moral
Tales and Traits of Life; Original Com
ments, on Notables; Wit and Humor; in
a word, such variety of matter as, Your
own country first II membered,) the
Whole Literature of the World
may offer. The origional translations from
European Literature which have from
time to time appeared in this journal, are
referred to as an earnest that we have


SPARED NO PAINS
To make the Posi- truly Cosmopolitan in
the


Great Republic of Letters.


Volume Iventy Seventh, upon which we
are about to enter, will appear in new type,
and with such other Improvements and
advantages as experience may suggest.
To repeat the words of former prospect
us, our motto is still EXCELSIOR. Among
the oldest papers on the continent, and
possessed otall the advantages which long
accumulated facilities afford, the conduci
ors blend with these peculiar advantages,
[not to be acquired in day. all the i'm.
provement which each successive year pres
ents to their notice; & all the changes for
the better, which occur to men intent on
doing we'll by reading public which has
always done we'll for The SATURDAY EVE
MING PosT.
