Wc don't know any place where the true
spirit of Irish music, tender and mournful as in
the Lament of an Orphan Girl, is more ade
quately expressed m words, than in this song.
In that respect, at least, rt is quite perfect.
OH! MY BIRD—from the Irish.
Air—44 The Culinn.*’
Oh! nry bird of the white breast, and soft
swelling form,
Thou cans’t not cling near amidst the wild
storm ;
Thy sweet voice of music would falter and die,
’Neath the darkness and cold of the sod winter
sky.
The bright fluttering plumes thou art used to
unfold.
’Mid fair summer flowers and warm skies of
gold.
Would fall 'neath the drenching rain shatter’d
and torn—
Tbo’ my fond circling arms should not leave
thee forlorn.
Oh ! the place of our rest, was it not calm and
fair!
And now by tho spoiler’s dark hand 'tie laid
bare—
No more shall we rove iir the hazel shades
green.
Where the strawberry buds in their beauty are
seen.
Far from me thou must wander, until the mild
spring.
Shall sort-budding blossoms and gentle airs
bring;
Thou cans’t not bo near me, oh ! lov’d as thou
srr,
Tho’ my nest shall be warm in the depths of my
heart.
PAPA ! WHAT IS -THE SAXON.”
The tyrant that came o’er the sea, my child,
To fetter the fearless and free, my child—
Whose murderous band
Spread woe through our land,
Leaving sorrow and serfslup for thee my child !
In the hour of trial our bane, rny child—
He came, and as yet doth remain, my child,
Ha ! the b ood hound before
Lapped full of our gore,
And he growlu for the blood-gorge again, my
child !
Blit the millions, divided so long, my child.
Now fierce in the hatred of wrong, my child,
With front to the foe,
* Are eager to show
The deeds of the valiant and strong my child !
Come tyrany's wrath when it may, my child,
We've a chief whom we trust and obey, my child
Let the contest assume
Or glory or gloom,
Thy sire siiall be first in the fray, rny child.

PREPARATORY SCHOOL
Ily R.. FURMAN,
THE exercises of this school will be roeums
edon Monday next. It is the object of
the teacher to communicate instruction in eith
er a part or the whole of the studies required for
admission into the Freshman class of the Uni
veraily. These studies, as may be seen by ref
erence to the publication of the Faculty, are,
English Grammar. Arithmetic, and Geography.
Four Books of Ctesar’s Gallia War; The Bn.
colics of Virgil, and six books ol the iEneid ;
Sallust, and several of Cicero’s Orations; Ja
Cobs’ Greek Reader, and Latin Prosody.
Particular attention is paid to Elementary
Principles; and Reading Writing, and Spell
mg, logellier with a daily exercise in the Sa
cred Scriptures, are, by no means, neglected.
Email boys are not to be considered as exclu
ded. On the contrary, it is desirable to have
them, in order that they may be taught, from
the first, according to the method most approv
ed by the subscriber.
The price of tuition is reduced to that of ele
veil dollars a quarter of eleven weeks each, to
be paid at the end of every quarter,at which time
a vacation of two weeks is usually allowed.
(p(7“ Young men desirous of qualifying them*
selves for teaching in the country, would be
greatly benefited by spending a few months
with the subscriber.

University of Ai.arama. Jon 3. 161G.
Mr. Richard Furman, an Alumnus of this Uni
versity, and the principal of on elementary and
classical school in this vicinity, having requested of
the Faculty of the University, an expression of thoir
opinion in regard to his qualifications as a teach'
er, the Faculty have no hesitation in saying, that
they regard him as at once able and faithful, and os
abundantly deserving the patronage of an intelligeti
public.
Mr. Furman has been for six years encaged in
his present employment; and during this time, he
has sent a number of students to this institution, j
who, if not always perfectly prepnred for admission,
have, nevertheless, in no case, brought from him
any test’inoninls which their attainments would riot
justify. It is characteristic of him to state, with the
utmost frankness, to all whom it may concern, what
he believes to be the progress made by the f upils
under his charge.
As an able, honest, and faithful teacher, the Fac.
ulty of this University, therefore, very willingly say,
that they know no one moie deserving than Mr.
Furman, of the confidence of the public.
By order of the Faculty.
F. A. P. BARNARD, Secrcatry.
Unirertily of Alabama, Jan. 15, 1846.
Mr. Furman—Sn:—By an ordinance of the
Board of Trustees of the University, passed at theij
session in Dec. 1843. the Faculty are authorized
to issue to the teacher or teachers of those candi
dates for admission, who, on the formation of each
succeeding class, shall appear to he best prepared
» eri fic-op to dial effect, and an expression of the
approbation of the Faculty.
Among those who have bpen received into the
Class recently formed, three individuals have np
penred to surpass the others in their acquaintance
with the preparatory sntdies ; and two of those are
from your School. In accordance, therefore, with
the Ordinance above cited, this certificate is issued
to you, testifying to the superior attainments of
your pupils ovt-fahe msss of those applying for a
mission to the U^ersiry.
By order of the Board.

ALABAMA INSTITUTION,
For llic I-Itliienlioii of tlic Blind,
' AT TUSCALOOSA.
THIS Iiixtitu'ion commenced its second ses
sion the second Monday in March, and
the operations of the Institution have been very
much mil arraased on account of the absence
of the regular agent, and the losses in subscrip- j
lions, &c. It gives us great pleasure to state
that the friends of the Institution have not for
saken it, but have liberally co-operated with
tile Principal ill liquidating its debt, and making
preparatory arrangements to commence the
second session. I he second session will end
the last of July, allowing the pupils to spend
August and September at their homes. Ten
pupils will be instructed at present, and it is
believed the school will gradually increase as it
becomes more and more extensively known.
As this Institution is intended toembiace all
the branches taught in academies for seeing
persons, the Principal hag engaged the ser
vices of teachers of experience and thoroughly
acquainted with all the branches in this 111.
stuution.
Mr. T. S. NEVVEI.I., a graduate of the
Ohio Institution for the ltlind, will act as Pro
fessor of Vocal and Instrumental Music.
Mr. 11. CHAPIN, as Ptofessor of the Arts
and Sciences.
Instruction v, ill be given as soon as practi.
cable, to a select class by the Principal in
Ancient and Modern History, Literature, Slc.
The Teachers just mentioned, devote their
services to the Institution at a very moderate
salary being actuated mure by the interest they
feel for thblind, tlian any pecuniary consid
eration.
The following course of study and regulations
have been adopted tor the present session:
The Scholars are required to rise at the
ringing of the bell at half post 5 o'clock in the
Morning : from (i to 7, instruction in Vocal
Music; breakfast at 7; prayers immediately'
afur breakfast; from tha: lime till 8, the girls
are engaged in arranging the rooms; horn
quarter past 8 to quarter past 6, Arithmetic;
from half-past 9 to half.paat JO, English Gram
mar; three quarters past 10 to three quarters
past 11, reading tic raised prim ; from 12 lo 1
Geography and Writing; dine at 1. In the
Afternoon Ihe girls are engaged in learniug to
make fancy works: instruction on the(Piano, and
raised print ure attended to till 6 o'clock P. M.,
at which time the pupils lake supper: prayets
immediately after aupper. Pupils are expected
to attend church, and are taken to whatever
church they wish to attend in the city. From
2 to 4, on the sabbath, the pupils will be as
■embled to hear reading of sacred history, or
a lecture from some interesting passage ot
scripture, calculated to direct their thoughts to
a perusal of the hible.
ll)<! rrinc.'poi would here slate that the In
stitution is entirely dependent for support on
individual contributions; notwithstanding this,
if its patronage sliuuld be equalo that received
during the Inst year, there will be no difficulty
in going on ; and as our agent, whose family
has been ill, is expected soon, he will be re
quested to visit nil the counties in the Slate,
for the purpose of laying the subject before
the citizens generally.
The cost to those who are able to pay will be
$150 per year; and as many indigent blind,
will be received and educated as the funds re
ceived will support, we request the editors of
the diHerent papers who may read this adver
tisement, to insert it in their columns.
The Principal of this Institution would be
obliged to persons having children or relatives
i blind, to write immediately, stating the age,
capacity, circumstances, Sic., wisl.mg to le
ccive a situation.

NEW SERIES OF THE
Congrcssioual Globe* and Appen
dix.
Congress at its last aossion, through the
Joint Library Committee of thd two Houses,
having authorized a large subscription for the
Congressional Globe and Appeedix; and
thu Senate, by resolution, having directed the
mode of preparing the reports of its proceedings,
and authorized the Secretary of the Senate to
contract with the undersigned, stipulating that
the reports when| written out shall be subject
to the revision of the speakers, the Congres
sional Globe and Appendix is now ottered
to the public, not only asBn authentic, but as an
official report of the proceedings of Congress,
made under the eye, and published by authority
of the body.
The undersigned originated the mode of jour
nalizing the proceedings of Congress, which,
; thus adopted, is to be perfected with the aid
and under the supervsion of Congress. Their
publication was the first and only one that gave
each successive step in every measure in both
i branches of Congress ; a brief of'all the debates;
every important vote ; and an Appendix, inclu
i dmg at full length all the revised speeches do
i livered during the session.
The work, as it is now to be conducted by
them, will be lounil a'most perfect political his
tory. The Senators from the States and the
Representatives fro.n every section of the l/nion
bring with them into Congress a knowledge of
the feelings, sentiments, and interests of their
several constituencies. Public opinion and the
public information, as it exists among those
they represent, are embodied by thorn ; and in
the crucible of Congress the wisdom of our
times is brought to its test, and is there con
centrated, in directing the political movements
of the whole country. The impu'ses thus giv
en through Congress from every quarter react
upon the nation as a whole, and all its compo
nent parts are made to move in cooperation.
The press cannot be more usefully employed
than in condensing and again spreading abroad
the intelligence of our free country, tending to
sucli happy results through our almost miracu
lously adjusted State and National institutions.
Having identified ourselves with the plan of
advancing the usefulness of Congress by pub
lishing full and unpnrtial reports, and having a
large mass of the Congrensional Globe and
Appendix, issued during the last twelve years,
which would be impaired in value to iis and
utility to the public if the work were discontin
ued, we have a double motive to prompt us to
exiend it through a new series. W e are re
solved, if possible, to give it permanence, and
to hand it down to successors as u standard
work, worthy of being maintained and improv
ed. VVe shall enter upon our new undertaking
without being distracted or burdened by any
associate labors of the press ; and, thus encum
bered, shall hope 10 make the new series a step
in advance of the former in all points of execu
tion. With a view to accomplish this, we
shall he (one or the oilier) in attendance on Con.
gress.
The reports will not be affected by our party i
bios. We believe every member of Congress I
will bear witness that our reports are full and j
fair.
I lie Congressional Globe is made op of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress,
and printed on superfine double royal paper,
with small type, (brevier and nonpareil,) in
quarto form, each number containing sixteen
royal quarto pages. The speeches of the inom
beis, in this fiist form, are condensed—the full
report of the prepared speeches being reserved
tor the Appendix. All resolutions, motions, and
other proceedings, arc given in the form of the
Journals, with the yeas and nays on every im
portant question.
The Appendix is made up of the President’s
Annual Message, the reports of the principal of
ficers of the Government that accompany it,
and all speeches of members of Congress writ,
ten ou', or revised by themselves, it is printed
in the same form as the Congressional Globe,
and usually makes about the same number of
pages during a session.
During the first month or six weeks of a ses
sion, there is rarely more business done than
will make two numbers a week—one of the
Congressional Globe and one of the Appendix ;
but during the remainder of a session, there is
usually sufficient matter for two or three num
bers of each every week. The next session will
be unusually interesting; therefore, we calcu
late that the Congressional Globe and Appen
dix together will make near 1500 large qu.irlo
pnges, printed in small type—brevier and non
pareil. We furnish complete Indexes to both
at the end of a session.
We have on hand the Congressional Globe
and Appendix for the last fifteen sessions of
Congress, making together fifteen large royal
quarto volumes, which we will sel',- unbound,
lor $41 ; nr bound, with Russia backs and corn
ers, for $5(5. Those who want the back vo'umcs
should apply for them immediately, as they are
in demand- Congress subscribed for 341 com.
pletescts during til9 two last sessions. The
proceedings of Congress for the last nine years
cannot be procured from any other source—
Gales fit Seaton having stopped printing their
Register of Debates in 1"37.
VVe will endeavor to print a sufficient num
ber of surplus copies to supply all that may be
miscarried, or lost in the mails; but, subscri
bers should be veiy particular to file tluir pa
pers carefully, for fear that we should dot be
able to supply all the lost numbers.

The money mny be remitted by mail at our

the following fot m ;
“Fosr Office,-,184 .
“Received from A B-dollars-cents

with the General Post Office, with the balance.
The Postmaster of Washington city will pay
hat balance to Blair fit Rives, or to ttieir order,
ton the back of this receipt.
“-, Postmaster."
The rules ot the General Post Office Depart
ment authorized such receipts to be given, and
paid here, when the amount does not exceed
glO. When it exceeds $l0, it is best to remit
as much as possible in bank notes, and the Post
master's receipt for the balance. The Post
master's receipt should ba sent directed to us,
and not to the Postmaster of this city, as some
► persons arc in the habit of doing. The money
should be here by the 7th of December, at fartii
est, to procure all the numbers. If not here by
that time, we may not be able to furnish the first
numbers.
Proprietors of newspapers who copy this
Prospacius, snd send us one copy of their paper
containing it, marked around with a pen, to dis
reel our attention to it, shall have their names
entered on our books for one copy of the Con
gressional Globp and Appendix during the ses
sion.
Our prices for these papers are so low that
we cannot afford to credit them out; therefore,
no person need consume his time in writing for
them unless he sends the money.

contemplated withdrawal of their patronage
from the newspaper press. To this decision
we cheerfully bow, sensible as we are ot the pa
triotic motives which have led to it. But we
trust that this decision of Congres* increased
rather than diminishes our claim to the support
of a higher power—that of the people ; and to
them we confidently appeal to aid us, by their
patronage, in sustaining at the seat of govern
ment a journal that is inflexible devoted to their
interest and the true interests of the country.
It is known to every one, that the chief source
of sustaining a newspaper is not the magnitude
of its subscription list, so much as the advertis
ing patronage which maybe bestowed upon it.
In large commercial cities, indeed, the latter is
usually the concomitant of the former, as it be
comes the obvious interest ot mercantile men
to advertise in those papers which are the most
extensively circulated. Washington, however,
is differently situated. Depriving of the adver
tising patronage incident to a mercantile com
munity, and burdened with peculiar and enor
mous expenses which are not elsewhere incur
red, Homing but a very long list of subscribing
patrons cull sustain a paper in usefulness—if,
indeed, even in existence. Tlie proprietors of
the “Union” have hitherto spared no pains, and
no expense, to make their paper worthy of the
metropolis, and worthy of the support of that
great party under whose banner they are enlist
ed. In publishing the most full and ample de
bates of the two houses of Congress, it is be
lieved, ever before attempted on Hub continent
in a daily newspaper, they have secured the ser
vices ofthe best reporters which the country
afforded, but at the enormous cost of $12,000 or
$15,000 per year. Their extensive foreign
and domestic correspondence is another large
item of expense, but the instructive usefulness
of which is so highly commended and apprecia
ted as to justify almost any outlay to attain it.
Still, it must be evident that these heavy expen
ses cannot be borne, unless the subscription list
is commensurate to the undertaking; and al
though we can boast of 15,000 subscribers, (in
cluding daily, tri weekly, and weekly,) yet this
list must be still considerably enlarged to enable
the proprietors of the “Union” to sustain all its
usefulness, and to insure them against pecuni
ary loss. Invoking, then, again, the aid and
support of all true friends of republican gov
ernment, and pledging ourselves to renewed
efforts in the cause of the glorious principles
wc cherish, we offer the following proposals :
THE DAILY “UNION”
Will be published, as heretofore, at $10 per
annum, payable in advance. Its character hith
erto has been almost exclusively political. We
purpose in future to devote a portion of its col
umns to domestic news of general interest, and
to miscellaneous literature, which, without im
paring its political influence, may render it the
more acceptable to an extended class of read
6r9 THE “SEMI.WEEKLY UNION”
Will be published every Monday and Thurs
day, during the recess of Congress, at $5 per
annum. This contains all the matter contained
in the "Daily Vnion," except local advertise
ments. During the sessions of Congress three
numbers, instead of two, will be issued, without
any ex'ra charge to subscribers.
The Uiiliirgcmciit of (lie Weekly
Union. .
THE “WEEKLY UNION”
Is issued every Saturday ; and as arrange
ments arc in progress to enlarge it to near dou
ble it* present size, we shail soon be enabled to
give nearly every article which may appear in
the daily and semi weekly editions, at the ex
tremely low rate of $2. We propose also to
give, in this edition, a complete synoptical sum
mary ofthe proceedings in both houses of Con
gress thus rendering the “Weekly Union, a
most valuable channel of information to all
classes of our country. But, to remunerate us
for this enterprise, an extensive subscription list
is absolutely indisperisible.
We seize this opportunity to add that some
delay has taken place in putting our paper to
press, which has prevented its early delivery to
our readers, and consequently circumscribed its
circulation. We shall make arrangements to
remedy this defect, and to obviate this objection.
After the present week we trust that no com
plaint will be made upon this subject.
CONGRESSIONAL REGISTER.
In audition to the foregoing, we have resolved
to publish; during the session of the national
legislature, a "Congressional Register," to be
issued weekly, and to contain a full report
of the daily proceedings and debates of both
houses. Indeed, the arrangements which we
have made with the very best corps of reporters
will enable us to give even more full and extend
ed reports than we have produced during this
session, superior as we clnim them to be to any
preceding ones. The Register will be made up
from the daily reports in the “Union,” carefully
revised by an experienced editor, and will cons
stitute a complete and authentic record of the
session. An appendix will be added, uniform
with the Register, and to be sent gratuitously
to subscribers, comprising a list of the acts
passed during the session, with a synopsis of
their contents, and a reference, when necessary,
to previous legislation. This will form the most
complete history of the sessions of Congress,
and will be furnished at the low price of sev
enty-five cents for the next session.
05“ Postmasters are authorized to act as
our agents : and by sending us five yearly sub
scribers, with the subscription money, for eith
er the Daily Semi* Weekly, or Weekly, will be
entitled to one copy of the same edition as they

DR. SPENCER’S
Vegetable Tonic and restorative
Health—“ The poor man’s riches
— The rich man's b/iss."
THE Pioprictor of this Medicine, actuated
by a desire to benefit his fellow beings,
offers to the Public the result of an extensive
practice and a thorough investigation of the
laws which govern the human system.
lie is well aware of the odium which is at
tached by Physicians to all remedies, the com
position of which they are not acquainted with,
yet he is not satisfied to withhold this valuable
medicine knowing that it will stand the test of
experience, and that those who use it, will not
have occasion to complain that it has not bene
fitted them. He is fully satisfied, that these
Bitters require only to become known, to be
universally appreciated and extensively used.
For it cannot be denied by those who have be.
come acquainted with their singular virtues,
that they possess a pre-eminence over all others
now in use, for the diseases which they profess
to cure.
In proof of their extraordinary curative pro.
pertics, upwards of One Thousand Certif
icates, from the most respectable Citizens in
different sections ofthe Union, might be appen
ded ; but the high reputation which my Vegeta
ble Pills, (known as Spencer's Veoetable
Pills; have acquired, is all sufficient to recom
mend my Bitters to the special notice of the
afflicted.
They are purely Vegetable and may be ta
ken with perfect safely by all ages and sexes
in youthful, adult and declining life.
They Cure Dyspepsia and Liver Com
plaints by cleansing the stomach and bowels
of every thing injurious to health, regulating
the various secretions ; and by their manifest
and sensible action upon the chyle, they purify
the blood, invigorate the circulation, strengthen
the digestive organs, and produces healthy ac
tion, throughout the system ;—Loss of Appe
tite, Heartburn, Headache, Flatulency, Palpita.
tion of the Heart, Restlessness, III Temper,
Languor and Melancholy, which are the usual
symptoms of Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint,
will all disappear as a natural consequence oi
its cure.
They not only Lure LTyspepsia and Liver
Complaint, but they have almost a miraculous
effect in curing Sick Headache, and all Ner
vous Affections. They are peculiarly adapted
to remove all these complaints, not bv constant
ly physicing, hot by strengthen.ng the system.
No greater mistake can be made than to sup
pose that Dyspepsia, or any other disease ari
sing from debility, can be cured by frequent for
ced action on the buwels with purgative medi
cines, without having a proper tonic Ufaccom
pany them. When these complaints exist, the
system is already too weak, and every addition
al dcse tends to make it more so. Spencer's
Vegetable Pills possess tonic and restora
live properties independent of their purgative
effects, and are believed to be the only purga
live Pill in existence that possess these impor
tant properties. Spencer'r Bitters also ac
ting as a still more effective tonic and restora
tive, strengthen the digestive organs, and as
sist them to perform their functions a9 nature
designed. Hence they are found to be effica
cious also in those Diseases peculiar to Fe
males, which arise more frequently from weak
ness than any other cause. The aged and in
firm of both sexes, and persons of sedentary
habits prone to costiveness, and those who have
suffered from loss of appetite, have experienced
great benefit from them. In Convalescence
from Fevers, and other acute disorders, they
restore strength ; and individuals afflicted with
Nervous Headache and other derangements of
the nervous function have been entirely cured
by this medicine
In Fever and Ague and Chills and Fever,
they surpass every thing known in rooting out
the last seeds of this worst of maladies. The
Proprietor has known hundreds of cases, from
six to twelve months standing, who had used
almost every thing they could think of, but
were cured only for a few days at a time, when
the chill would again return, but who have been
entirely cured by using this Medicine, and have
declared it to be the most sovereign and last
ing remedy they evey heard of. In fact the
Proprietor has never known them to fall curing
the very worst cases when used according to
the directions.
By removing the local inflammation from the
muscles and ligaments of the joints, these Pills
and Bitters have been known to cure Rheuma
tism, permanently in two weeks.
For Worms, they are superior to any of the
common vermifuge medicines, as they prevent
that cold state of the stomach, and dislodge
from the bowels all the slimy matter to which
these creatures adhere. Aiso jisthma, by re
lieving the lungs and air vessels from the mucus
which even slight colds will occasion, which ir
not removed becomes hardened and producef
this disagreeable disease. Diarhaa, Dyeinte
ry, and Cholic, by removing all those bad hum
ors by which these complaints are occasioned,
and by their singular action on the secretions os
the mucous membrane. Scrofula, Scurvy, VI
eers and Inveterate Sores, by the power they
exert in purifying the blood and all the springs
and channels of life. Scorbutit Eruptions and
Bad Complexion by their alterative effect upon
thefluidsthat feed the skin, the morbid state of
which occasions all eruptive complaints; Sal
tote. Cloudy, and other disagreeable Complex,
tone. The qse of the Pills and Bitters for a
very short lime, will make an entire cure
Erysipelas, Salt Rheum, and a striking improi
nient in the clearness of the skin. The woi
cases of Common Colds and Influenza will m<
always yield to one or two doses of the Pit A
And as a remedy for that distressing inalat
the Piles, too much cannot be said in their I®
vor, for by using this medicine in very mod
rate doses, it has been known to cure the woi
ot cases, and that too, of those who had tri
almost every oilier remedy that could be pr
scribed within the whole compass of the Mat
rie Medieie.
Females who value good health, should ne
er be without Spencer's Pills and Bitters,
they purify the blood, remove obstructions, ai ■
give the skin a beautiful, clear and healthy a ■ )
pearance.
Elderly Persons make it a rule to tali
them 2 or 3 times a week, by which they r :
move the causes that produce disease, presen
their health, and keep off the infirmities i
age.
Heads or Families should Alwas keep th
Medicine in the house, as a remedy in cases ■
sudden illness, for by iheir immediate adminit
tration, Cholera Morbus, Diarrhaa, Choli,
Gout in the Stomach, Cramps, Spasms, Feser
and other alarming complaints, which ofie
profe fatal, may be speedily cured or prevri
ted.
All that is required of those who use ’thi
Medicine is to use it strictly according to th
directions, it is not by any thing the proprie
tor himself may say in their favor that he hope:
gain credit. It is alone by the result of i
fair trial.

New Terms of Advertising.
The accumulation on our books of debts due
us in other comities, and in other States; anp
the great difficulty attendant upon their collec
tion—to say nothing of the tax thereby imposed
on us, and the losses we are forced to sustain,
by many of our distant debtors neglecting to
send us the amounts they may severally owe_
forces on us the necessity of adopting a mode
of computing the cost of publications to be
made in our columns, which can be easily under
stood, and winch will enable our patrons to en
close, with their advertisements, the money to
pay for them. Our new terms will not vary,
materially, from the old ones; and where there
is sny change it will be found to be in ftvor
of the advertiser :—For example, we prOpoae
to make 80 words, or less, one square ; more
than 80, and less than 160 two squares; more
than 160, and leas than 240 three squares, &c.
Under the old system the square averages about
75 words.
The price of advertising will not be changed;
the change in the mode or computing the quan
tity of matter in advertisements, is adopted *pa
cially with a view to relieve ourself from the
evils of the credit system.
These rules, we propose, shall apply in ail
jases where the persons making publication re
tide out of this city, except they be Eherlftii,
Coroners, Registers In Chancery, Clerks or
Court, or other public officers.
Where we open en account witb officers of
court and others of that class, we reserve to our
self the right to charge the old, prices.
