Democratic Convention at Lex
ington.
ADOPTION OF A PLATFORM.
Lexington, Oct. 6.
I had barely time between the conclusion of
Senator Dougins’ speech aud the departure of
the train, to drop you the imperfect notice of
the Convention that appeared in the Courier of
this date. A hydropathic dinner having been
procured at the public tables, for it rained in
cessantly, returning breads and pies to their
' original consistency of dough, and swimming
vegetables and meats in small oceans of water,
- the crowd adjourned to the upper market house.
There, upon a reorganization, the committee
on resolutions and an address reported the fol
lowing :
PLATFORM OF PRIFCIPLKS.
1. Resoved, That the Constitution of the
United States isa political contract between the
people of independent sovereignties which be
stow paramount authority to the extent of the
powers delegated, but leave those not delegated
to the States respectively, or to the people, that
a vigilant guard against the centralization of
the powers is essential to the preservation of
our institutions, and that by the instrument,
Congress has no power express or implied to
establish, abolish, or prohibit slavery in the
States or Territories.
2. Resolved, That we re-afirm the time-hon
ored principles of the Democracy, and believe
the only sure garantce for the public tranquili
ty is a strict adherence to the provision of the
Constitution upon the subject of slavery, ap
plying alike to the Stales and Territories, obser
ved in the passage of the Compromise measures
of 1850 and confirmed in the Kansas and Ne
braska act, the carrollary of the former meas
ure, by which Congress have declared that it is
. their “true intent and meaning not to legislate
slavery into any State of Territory, but to leave
the people thereof from to form and regulate,
their domestic institutions in their own wlr
subject only to the Constitution of the United
States, and’ that we do pledge ou selves to resist*
the repeal amendment of modification of the
Compromise of 1850 including the Fugitive
Slave Law, and the Kansas and Nebraska act
of 1h54. as we hold that they arc wise and just
measures, and should be maintained undisturbed
for the preservation of the national peace and
the union of the States.
3. Resolved, That the Constitution of the
™ United States is founded upon the fundamental
principle of entire and absolute equality among
all the States of this Union and it is not com
teut for the Coiigress or any other power to
impose upon ndtStutes coming into the Union
any condition wrestriction in respect to their
domestic institutions or internal concerns which
the Federal Conslstution has not imposed upon
the original States; and that any effort on the
part of Congress or any other power, to violate
this principle, should be met and resisted by all
good citizens, as an attempt to trample up
on the Constitution and destroy our glorious
Union.
4. Resolved, That all men have a natural
right, antecedent to the formation of civil so
ciety, and beyond the control of government, to
religious freedom, the surrender of which is tin
neccessary to ths temporal welfare of the State
and cannot bo relinquished even by the consent
of the citizen, 5a a free government; that much
less can any iv.4’o party act, against his consent
and that wo that the Know-Nothing Or
der in the per :'»jn and pn aeription of Cath
olics, have , j this eardiua principle, and
are bigoted <. 3 to religious liberty, and foes
to our cowtf, ■ ... o«ir laws and our free gov
ernment.
5. ResaJ; ■ we do not recognize any
distinction t>, . iizens of the United States
based upon th sJoeratic principles of birth
and we hoi If .., i; is dishonest to repudiate
the contract giver; ‘if the government confer
ring all the rightsof American citizenship in its
letters of naturelizutii n, and afterwards by a
party compact to debar naturalized citizens
from the full benefits while we leave them
subject to the full burthens of the agio
meats.
6. Resolved. That open discussion of public
affairs is the foundation of the intelligence of
the people and the safe-guard of freedom; that
any secret association or brotherhood for politi
cal objects is dangerous to free institutions,
destructive of social confidence, and contrary to
the frank an 1 manly character of a true Ameri
can; and that we regard with abhorrence the
organized falsehood and treacherous secresy of
the Know-Nothing Order.
7. Resolved. That the recent election in the
city of Louisville was marked by the most glar
ing fraud upon the elective franchise, am d con
flagrations, murders, and barbarities, contrary
to the character and unknown before in the
history of this people, the offspring of a cruel
system of reli ious bigotry and polical hatred of
race, engendered in and executed by a secret,
oath-bound,jacobinieal society re-producing in
America tiie savage scenes that stained the su
premacy of their kindred fraternities in the
French Revolution.
8. Resolved, That the President of the Uni
ted States and the present administration have
been faithful to the principles of the Democra
cy, and especially deserve the thunks of the
country lor the course pursued in relation to
the Kansas and Nebraska act. for the measures
to secure our western frontiers, and for the
maintenance of the honor and dignity of the
government in our foreign relations,
J). That we have witnessed with pleasure the
official conduct of the late Governor of Ken
tucky, and that we fully approve his adminis
tration
10. That the Hon. Beverly L. Clarke, Beriah
Magoffin, R. W. Woolley, and the other State
candidates, deserve the thunks of the Democra
cy for the able, eloquent and fearless manner in
which they sustained the principles of our party
in the late canvass.
11. That the sect ionnl hate has been engender
ed in the country, the bloody tumults which have
marked the progress of the Know-Nothing or
der. the inefficient administration of the law and
the social and political demoralization that has
followed, call upon all honest aud patriot!*
Atnercans, whether Whigs or Democrats regard
less of past opinions, to make common against
the secret order of Know Nothings, and to pre
serve inviolate the inestimable blessings of civil
and religious liberty guaranteed by the consti
tution of the United States.
12. That the thanks of the country are due
to those Whigs who, loving tiie republic more
than parly, gave patriotic support to those prin
ciples which lie at the foundation of public liber
ty and social order; we hail t hem us brothers
and co-laburers in the great contest for equal
rights and religious liberty.
13. That we have an abiding confidence in
the patriotism of the Democracy at the
North.
11. That the Northern Democracy are enti
tled to the thanks of all good and true patriots
for their firm adherence to the principles of tin
constitution and their steady support of sound
priciples. •
15. That this meeting recommend that tht
Democracy of the State be vigilant and prompt
in appointing delegates to attend the Uonven
tion in Frankfort on the Bth of January. 1856
IG. That the proceedings of the Convention
be published, and that John C. Breckinridge
John 11. Harney. B. B. Taylor, aud Robt. W
Woolley, be requested to superintend the pub
lication of u sufficient number of copies for dis
tributiou.

[By some oversight of the Committee of Ar
rangements, not the least facility was provided
for reporters to exercise their ’ functions. Sc

the platform, nor scarce standing room in tin.
crowd. Our notes of Judge Douglas’ speech
were taken in the midst of the rain, using r
friends back for a writing desk. The remarks
of Col. Preston subjoined, are entirely from
memory, and we would be doing that gentleman
the grossest injustice did we not state that wt
present but the substance of his main points. 1
is important to the public that his position U
known on the great nutters of political concern
ami hetice we state them briefly. We came

guage with wbud: he e'er uotu*- lu» ibuqgl.*.
O.i this occasion his oratory was more than
usually graoufui aud cvmmaudiiur. Tin axv.
ing listened with the profoundcst attention, verv
frequently, however, cheering him with the loud
est huzzas.]
Col. Preston began by saying that in the
highly flattering introduction of the late Gov
ernor some allusion had been made to his lat<
defeat aud the manner in which he had been de
feated. He would assure his friends there pre
sent that he did not feel cast down, nor conquer
ed by the result of the election iu the Louis
ville district. He was convinced of its fraudu
lency, yet that in no wise impaired his senti
ment of faith in the ultimate justice of a fret
people. Hence upon their more dispassionately
viewing his position, upon their calmly review
ing their own conduct, he felt atsured that rea
son would resume its sway in the popular mini
and truth be reinstated. There had been some
thing portentious of the direst evils to the com;
try, aud to freedom, in the rise and swift-foote<
progress of the new party; if so that organize
tion could be called, now rent and sundered ii
so many places North and South. Its secres;
—its proscriptiveness—its vindictive spirit—it.
manner of clothing intentions to do wrong, un
der the hypocritical guise of friendship—these
things had rendered it dangerous; and these
things pandering, to the inclinations of depraver
men of all parties, had given it at theoutset un
usual ’ strength. But the specious attraction
of this dark-dealing Order had measurably faded
In tiie North it has resolved itself into the most
sycophantic ally of Abolitionism. Why. what
and how have been its triumphs ? The election
of Hale in New Hampshire, of Trumbull in
Illinois, from a part of its achievements. And
pray would those two Senatorsof Know Noth
ing choice dare to come to Kentucky and advo
cate their doctrines, as the two gallant speak
ers, Democratic Senators from Ohio and Illi
nois, have done this day. They cannot—they
dare not Their own brethren would resist
their appearance. It is but a sectional faction
—its power confined solely to the North. But
how with the Democracy North and South ,
they are the friends of equal rights—they dan
maintain their slavery opinions in any quarter
and as such, discountenancing thereby the in
cendiary doctrines of all Union haters, they pre
serve the confederacy intact.
Col. Preston said that it was because of the
attitude of the Democratic party with refer
ence to the preservation of the Union—their
noble stand upon the passage of the Kansas-Nc
braska bill—the even handed jvstice that the;,
meeted out to all sections of the country—i'
was because of these things that lie appeared
here to-day, addressing a Democratic Convert
tion. His first political fight was against the
Emancipationists, when in company with a dis
tinguished Democrat. (Hon. James Guthrie)
he triumphed. His last contest was against i;
party composed chiefly of rabid Anti-Slaver;
men, who denied the rights of the South, and
set up for themselves exclusive claims to the
new territories. In this battle he was in a great
measure supported by the Democracy, and
though he suffered defeat, he had rather meet
that end aud occupy his present position, than
have triumphed, with the blood of the innocent
upon his hands and the rights of the South
trampled under foot.
Hence to-day he found himself allied, as were
many of the best Whigs of the land, with tht
Democracy, in opposition to an insidious foe.
Kentucky’ at present cherishes that enemy tn
civil and religious liberty—that proscriptionisl
of equal rights to the native and forign born—
the order that made reEgon a test, and attempted
to usurp the place of Providence and judge of
the propriety of a man's religous test. With
priimples stch as these, the people of Kentucky
had no affinity. Their reputation was world
wide for frankness aud sincerity, for boldness
and chivalry—they could not conceal their opin
ions, n>r strike down an opponent because he
might cherish an opposite creed. This Know-
Nothingism was against all the Kentuckian’s
ideas of magnanimity, and he desired the people
to mark his prediction, that at the Presidential
election in 1856, Kentucky would be enrolled
among the Democratic
Co’. Preston difcusssed at some length, in a
very able manner, the doctrines of the new or
der concerning religion. His s;>eech was the mos*
captivating and telling of the day, despite th,
ability oi the other speakers, and hasp'aced
himself higher in the affections of unpledge and
unoathbound of Kentucky.
Female' Equestrianism.
The epidemic of female equestrianism is upon
us. A fair without female competition in tin
ring is no fair. Encouragement iu female rid
iriving is very well, but the danger to
be apprehended grows out of that nationality
of ours which tends to running every new thing
•■into the ground.” Too often the riding anil
driving ring at our fairs only needs the addition
of tun bark and a clown to make it amateur
circus. Ah one advance step in the physical
education of American women, we are glad to
• see attention dirrected generally to the healthful i
jtnd graceful exercise of boys and girls, youm: I
men ami young women, on horseback ; and com I
petition in the ring, although confined t > bul j
few directly, will necessarily create a sort i>‘. I
excitement upon the subject which already has '
produced beneficial results. Now, it needs only '
to guard aginst too "fust” riding.
VVe have been not a little amused at the re
port of the "Riding Com iiittee” at the Onondaga
(N. Y.) County Fair, as reported in the Syra
; cuse Journal. It seems that committee, instead
. of deciding upon the horsemanship of others,
. mounted their ovvh “hobbies,” aud away they
went, each one in chase of his owu fancy, as to
. style aud dress of the equestrians. The report
says:
’•■With some tho Amazonian style found favor:
others thought a less bold and dashing style best
, comported with the delicacy of the sex; while
. yet a third class admired an equal blending of
. the two. Your honorable President wished it
, to be distincly understood that no dangerous
break-neck, dare-devil kind of riding was to be
encouraged. Some preferred long flowing robes
. and a hat and veil, giving as a reason for their
preference that long skirts were graceful and
the hat best kept the hair in order, the veil ad
ding sufficient grace to make it womanly; others
wise firm in their regard for short skirts, full
Turkish trousers and boots, insisting that such
a dress made up in safely what it lacked in
grace: some liked straw hats ; some flat caps,
indeed there was as great diversity of opinion
expressed as there usually is when any commit
tee want to make a platform."
Whether any were in favor of Indies adopt
ing the Panama Isthmus style, or the circus
style, the report dose not say. The committee,
however, examined history, aud came to the
profound conclusion that riding is of-very an
cient date, though very little (if any) known be
fore the flood," and that the first authentic ac
count of riding to some purpose was that of
Reoecca.
The committee, having trot confused and em
barrassed iu the mazes of history and scripture.
I a varded eleven premiums, promising other pre
miums next year to the unsuccessful competitors
The first premium was for "skilfully managing
different horeses." the second for "extreme beauty
with which she sat and rode.” third, for "lady
like dignity" of riding; fourth- “for spirited, fear
less rid ng:" fifth, "for graceful stylish carriage,"
sixth.“rapid yet extremely beautiful riding:"!
sevei th, "for modest, nuassnming, dignified style:'
eigl th, fer riding a pony which was “managed
bcauti nlly;" ninth, for -whose horse was obsti- !
nate. but was at length compelled to obey his
fair rider:" tenth, "who only requires a little more
practice to make her a good horsewoman:" aud.
eleventh, "who was not lacking inskiiland fear
li ssaess. but who was most unfortunate in her,
selection of a horse.’
Each of these committee men, at the winding
up of the exercises, should have been tied to the
aporn strings of his favorite rider and trotted
arout.d the ring.— Cleveland Herald.

Belgian Steam Link to Rio.-—The Journal
lo Gommercio of Rio says that a Belgian line
if steamers Antwerp and Rio de Janeiro is de
finitely organized. The capital of the society
s 3,000.1100 francs, in 3,000 shares. The line
is to consist of four screw steamers, each capa
ble of carrying 600 tons of merchandise, besides
their fuel, with accommodations for 25 cabin
passengers and 150 others, and equal to un
iverage speed of from eight and a half to nine
niles an hour without using sails. The first is
to commence before the 29th of 51 ay, 1857-
I’he first year they arc to make bi monthly
voyages, and afterwards monthly ones. The
Belgian Government grants the company a
■ubsidy of 330,800 francs, payable. 150.000
.'rancs the first year, and 36,000 francs a year
’or five years afterwards. It is expected that
ne of the vessels will commence running about
■ight months hence. The company is formed

Nesselrode.—Of all statesmen of Europe
ind America who took part in public affairs at
the fall of the first Napoleon the only one now
remaining in place is that Russian Minister, who
commenced his political career as a powerful
foe of the Napoleonic dynasty, which he still
lives to combat. All the public men of the
United gtates it is said, who were then eminent
in political life, have departed;a new generation
iccupy their places. In Europe none remain
but N esselrode, the patriarch of statesmen, who
has survived two Imperial masters; who as the
Minister of Alexander the First, opposed the
aggressions of the great Napoleon aud now, as
the Minister of Alexander the Second, is the
vigorous foe of Napoleon the Third.
Havana, Oct. 1 —I have at length the plea
sure of announcing the final settlement of the
Black Warrior” outrage, by the payment last
week, of the amount agreed to be received as a
full indemnify for all the wrongs and injuries
inflicted in that high-banded and outrageous
matter. At the present moment the payment
of so large an amount must have been rather
inconvenient, yet let us do Gen. Concha justice:
he stood up to the rack like a thorough bred,
and “forked ont” unhesitatingly.
It would almost appear that Gen. Concha ap
prehends another fillibnstering expedition from
the United States, for among other returns or
dered periodically to be made, is one of the
names of all machinists coming from and going
to the United States, and also of all conspiracies
calculated to upset ‘-the present order of things."

Ova Indian Relations.—A letter from Fort
Union, New Mexico, dated September 1, says :
“Our Indian relations are assuming a better
aspect. Treaties have been made, or renowed.
with the Mesealeros, the Navajos. and .lie Ca
porto Utahs; leaving only the Blanco Utahs
and the Jacarillo Apaches, with whom we have
been fightiling all the winter, ont of the mystic
circle. ” These latter are, at their own request
to meet the Governor at Abivue in the early
part of this month, and it is expected that they
will make a treaty which they will keep for a
year or two at least. They are all benaveing
very well at present, and we hear little or noth
ing of depredations iu any quarter.”
A Second Whitfield.—Recent English
journals mentioned that a young preacher of
the Methodist church is creating as much ex
citement as Irving and Whitfield did in then
day. The London correspondent of the New
York Times says: “His name is Spurge:: and
he can scarcely have reached his 22d or 23d
year. I should think. His eloquence is extra
ordioary. It overwhelms you with its force
anil brilliancy; and his voice has the character
istics which Whitfield’s is’said to have possessed
—a ringing tone, and capable of being heard
by an assemblage often thousand persons.”
A great Quasi—National Race.
VYe were yesterday tempted. with some 1.-
500 persons, to witness the race at Broad Rock,
in which Kentucky, Alabama, New Jersey and
Virginia were competitors. Extra trains of
the Petersburg Railroad, omnibusses, hacks am],
private conveyances; furnished the means W
transportation for the large crowd. There were
originally, nine entries, but the following six
horses appeared on the track:
Monday, October B.—A sweepstake for all
ages: four mile heats ; four or mure to make a

By a strange coincidence, which will not
again occur for a long time, the new year of
1855 commenced on the same day as in 1849.
and, consequently ail through the year the date
will lie on the same day. But what is more
singular is, that all the movable holidays, from
Sepluagesima to Advent, fall on the same dates
and the same days. The almanacs of 1849
might, therefore, serve for the present year.

where it was inspected by the Queen and Prince

the works, plates, cogs, and wheels, are made
of aluminum; and M. Roby believes that it is
much better for these purposes that the metals
generally employed. It is much lighter, does
not require so much power to conduct the
wheels, and, therefore, with a heavy balance,
will obtain a better result of regularity. It is
very hard and smooth when hammered, and the
friction will be reduced to almost nothing.
Kossuth on the Fall of Sebastopol. —The
New York Times publishes a letter from Kos

what to do with the fortress now that they
(have got it. He gives it as his “decided opin
ion that the prospects of peace are rather
lessened than otherwise by the fall of the south
of the town.” and still insist upon the belief that
it “was n great mistake that the allies chose
that point for an attack on Russia.” After al
luding to the fall of Sebastopol, he says: What,
then, is next to come? In my opinion, for the
winter, the campaign will be restricted to the
Crimea, and next year it will continue there;
while, on the other hand, the naval operations
in the Baltic will be resumed with augumented
forces, and on n more effective scale."

j much improved plan, will be built connect New

’ would be employtxl. but have assurances abun

RELre or the Past.—The propeller Manhat
tan. which arrived here yesterday morning, had
on board a mass of copper weighing 1,276
pounds, which, from its appearance and the
place from which it was taken, renders it a
Treat curiosity. It was found by a man. while
i excavating a cellar at Fortune Lake, imbedded
about five feet in the sand. It is a thin sheet!
' mass, and differs materia.ly from the character
)of the masses found in that locality. It must
1 have been put there by some of the ancient mi
ners. as the vicinity in which it was found lias ■
; no indications of the existence of copper, and .
' the moss itself bears evident traces of having i

pelled as a repoter from the Ohio S, nate, two i
years ago. is stomping in Seneca and other I
northern counties of that State for Chase and
the fusion udset.
Mammoth Iron Steamship.
This immense steamer, building near Green
wich, England, is thus described by a correspon
dent of the Nashville Union ;
“Her length is sit hundred and eisr'ity feet
—h ?r beam eighty-fine feet — her depth of hold
sissy-eight feet — her screw power is sixteen hun
dred horse, and her paddle power one thousand
home. She has two sets cf engines, one for the
screw nod the other for the paddles, and ten
boilers often tenseach. Tiie amount of iron in
her hull and machinery is estimated at ten
thousand tons. She is doubleplankcdthrough
out with iron plates, three quarters of an inch
thicii on the sides, and an inch thick on the
bottom, which is perfectly flat for the width of
forty feet. The space between the planks is
thirty-four inches—she has four decks—the two
upper upper ones twenty inches apart, one of
which is double iron plate, covered with wood.
H r measurement is fifteen thousand five hun
dred tons. She can convey from one port to
another an army of ten thousand men. with the
necessary accoutrements, including artillery.—
When loaded, she will draw twenty-eight feet,
and eighteen when light—at no time will there
be less than thirty-eight feet of iier hull above
water. It is calculated that on a comparative
smooth sea. she will run at a speed oi twenty
five miles per hour.”
Curiosities in the Patent Office.—Among
the greatest curiosities in the Patent Office at
at Washington, are the busts of a number of
fifteenth rate notorieties, which are struck up
among the crocodiles, alligators, behemoths and
monkeys, and are voyaging in the same vessel
to immortaltiy. We certainly think most of
these busts are the ugliest representations of
animal nature in the whole collection. If the
originals sought to gratify any personal vanity
by such an exhibition iu the Patent Office, they
ought to hear the remarks that aro made by
visitors: “What ugly wretchthat?"—“Never
heard of him before?’ “What is he, doctor, law
yer, or highway robber?” “What did be ever
do, to bring him here ?” &c., &e. Such arc the
questions and remarks which arc constantly
elicited by the crowd of hideous looking busts
of the smallest great men that the world ever
produced, now on exhibition iu the T. S. Patent
Office.
Wasdington endeavored to collect all the coin
that had his image uponjthem, and destroy them.
What a contrast to the conduct of fho aspring
manikin of our times! But Washington could
afford it, for his image was stamped in everlast
ing letters, on every American heart. These
dwarfs, on the contrary, would never be res
cued from the tide of oblivion, unless they adop
ted some such device for notoriety as that which
wc have described, and then they are only
I thought of to be pitied for their ugliness, and
laughed at for their folly.— Richmond Dispalch.
The Nashville Union & American, of
the 7th inst. says: “Wm. K. DeGraffenreid,
of Georgia and’James A. Whiteside, of Ten,
nessee, Commissioners appointed under Legisla
tive resolutions by the Governors of the respec
tive States, to confer in relation to the law of
Tennessee which subject the Western & Atlanf
)ic Railroad to suits in the Courts of Tenncssee
and fix upon such terms of negotiation and re
cijirocity asshall be acceptable to b »th States,’
he d an informal conference at tie Executive,
office iu this city on yesterday.
“The questions involved in the negotiation are
understood to be of a delicate and highly im
portant character, involving deeply the inter
ests of the citizens of the two States in their
commercial intercourse with each other. The
questions of the jurisdictions of the Courts of
Tennessee over suits brought against the Wes
tern and Atlantic Railroad in this State, is now
pending before our Supreme Court at Knox
ville. in the case of McClung against that road,
carried up by apjieal from Bradley county, iu
which a judgment was rendered against the
Road for 310.000, and is expected to be deci
ded in a few- days. On this account and to give
time for a proper examination and considera
tion of all the questions and interests involved,
the Commissioners have determined to await
the decision of the Supreme Court and to meet
again at Milledgeville for further conference be
fore making any report.”
Uncommon Growth.—There is hanging in
our office, the forked bougn of an apple-tree,
each part of which measures only twenty-two
inc , 'es in lenght, on which there are one hun
dred and forty-seven applei.’ thicker upon the
wood than human ingenuity could possibly affix.
They are of an average diameter of two and a

A New Southern Enterprise!
SUBSCRIPTION ONLY
One Dollar per annum.
I The Weekly Examinek will after the first day
of August next, be issued to subscribers, at the
low price of ONE DOLL AR per annum, paya
able invariably in advance.
Many reasons have induced the proprietor ol
this paper to embark in an enterprise never be
fore attempted in the South, and which has
proved, not only successful in the Anti-Slavery
Slates North and West, but has received a pat
ronage in the Slave Stales, that had better be con
fined though at greater expense, to the South
ern Press.
To obviate, then, the objection, as far as we
can, tc the price of the Weekly Examiner, we
from and alter the period designated willforwaid
it to subscribers at one dollar, per annum, and
this will place it within the reach of the poor, a»
will as the rich.
I To politics, news, and literature, the Examiner
, will be devoted. Our position in regard to the
' first is already well understood. It is unnecessa
ry, therefore, to say more than that it sustains
! and will sustain,’the DEMOCRATIC ANTI
| KNOW NOTHING PARTY of Georgia and
j the Union, to which the South can look, with
confidence, to the maintenance of her rights, and
I a strict adherence to the Constitution.
I The NEWS DEPARTMENT of this pnpet
j shall be unsurpassed by any weekly paper in the
South Atlanta occupies a position, and embra
ces faci-’ities, for the receipt and transmission cl
I NEWS, unequalled in the South. Every ad
j vantage will be taken of th-se, to make the E.X-
I t MINER a valuable new; paper to our farmers
I who, in the main, subscribe tor weekly pape s
I only.
' The Literary and Miscellaneous Department
j will also receive a large share, of attent on.
■ During the session of our Legislature, one of
: the Editors will be present to report the proceed
; ing.of that Body, to; the Daily Examiner—these
I reports will be transferred to the weekly and each
I subscriber to it, will thus have a complete history
I cd’the session.
I A correspondent to furnish the proceedings ol
i Congress, and a New York correspondent, have
i also l>een engaged. In short, every thing that
I can reasonably be expected of a weekly paper.
. will be laid before the subscribers to the Exarn
! iner.
A large and fine assortment or new type has
been ordered, and is now on its way from New
York. We hope to receive it in time lor our
next week’s issue, when not only will the ap
pearance of our Daily and Weekly be greatly
improved, but a large quantity of reading matter
will be added to both.
In adventu: ngupon this novi cnterpr.Ao—one
