In order that the c,izens OF the above places
may see our paper for themselves, we send a
number of copies TO Mr.. Palmer to-day, for
gratuitous circulation. We do not wish any
TO understand by this that we think they should
withdraw their patronage from their own city
papers in order to sustain ours, but we should
like to have our paper taken by those who feel
able and desirous Of reading paper from
Washington in addition to their own city pa
pers, and we believe their are hundreds who
do desire this and are fully able to do it, es-
pecially when they consider the low price ofthe
Fountain only three dollars year for the dali
", and one dollar year for Tee weekly. Should
any one to whom this paper is sent desire 70
subscribe, he will please call upon Mr. Palmer;
and should the number of subscribers in any
of the cities justify Mr.. P. will procure regu-
lar carrier. TO whom the papers will be seut
daily that they may be delivered at your doors
as your own city papers are.


Those who subscribe to the weekly paper
will of course be supplied sby mail, and SO Of
the daily, ifthere are only few who subscribe.
We believe, however, that in Baltimore part-
cularly, we shall be able to secure large cir
culation, inasmuch as tho Baltimore penny pa
pers ar very literally supported by the citizens
OF Washington.


We would also say in this connection that
our object in endeavoring TO effect this increase
of circulation is not for the purpose Of making
money, SO much as enarging the sphere Of
our usefulness--the Fountain being paper
especially devoted to the best and highest inte
rests of man.
