 TEXAS NATIONAL REGISTER E4NARLY in December next, the undersigned will A-4 commence the publication of weekly news paper, at the town of Washington, to be called the 1 IeXas National Register

 The interests of the publishers are directly u- FoRed Tn the general prosperity of the country; and as such they will labor, in their appropriate sphere, ana m becoming manner, to disseminate useful intelligence, encourage public virtue, and sustain faithful government. They hayen no cause to advance which IS not common to every citizen; and the course they have prescribed to themselves will they confidently believe, be approved by every patriot in the several quarters of the Republic. They rest thelr claims to public patronage solely upon the manner and spirit in which they shall dschalge their duties as conductors of public journal.

 In the editorial department, politics will not be regarded as the science of partisan jngglery, by Winch the temporary success of a faction may be secured, or the personal advantage of the aspirant promoted; but, rather, code oi principles which ought to be observed for the preservation of free institutions and the maintenance of firm, efficient, and benefeent government

 The undersigned begin theircareerWholly untram- meIled All pubic measures, acts, and proceedings, whether executive or legislative, under the present or succeeding administration, will be carefally ex- amined dispassionately discussed and, if approved freely commended: fl the contrary. will be as fear lessiy condemned.

 As the judiciary, in is importance and dignity, is in wise inferior to either of the other divisions of the government, its upright and independent action will be essentially sustained.

 The undersigned have no animosies to gIatity. They, therefore, unreservedly pledge themselves that their columns shall not be disgraced by any indul- geuce in tkat personal abuse and embtered Yituper alton which have so unfortunately characterized q portion of the public press. They desire to make their sheet national paper, not only reputable to themselves, as men and members oI society, but creditabe to the country.

 The REGISTER will be issued in quarto form, and in size will be larger than any paper at present pub lished in the Republic ItWill admit into its columns full weekly accounts ef all the eurentneWs, foreign and domestic; the reports of the proceedings of Con gfess; the decisions oi the Supreme Court the laws, immediately after their passage; tie official acts of the Executive Government; and large selections from the past history ot the counry-embracing all pubic documents, of general interest, which have heretofore emanaed from the civil or military author ities Arrangements have been made 10 procure regular files of Mexican papers, from which eopious transations of whatever may be deemed of value 10 the Texian people, will, from time to time, be fur nished

 The form aud size adopted, together with is peg manant location at theseat of government, viii render the Register a convenient repository of valuable matter, which may be readily preserved, and filed or bound for future reference. Itis intended to accom- pany each volume with a title page and index
