Sept. 2, 1845-8-ly THE 8ATURDAY EVENING POST. New Volume, New Type, Old Friendships AND NEW ATTRACTIONS. The publishers of the Saturday Even ing Post feel constrained to make again their acknowledgments to the reading pub lie for the liberal support which their paper receives. To 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 eharactej of THE FIRESIDE FRIEND— which is pre-eminently the designation of this paper. As a newspaper, dependant upon public patronage, grows by wbat it feeds on, the publishers flal ter themselves that The Post has increased in interest and value,with thesteady and gratifying support which has been accorded toil, fora pe riod of P A QUARTER OF A CENTURY. In this time which has served for the life and death of whole generations of periodicals, and the rise, meridian, and decline of many a rival, The Post has kept the even tenor ol ils way, by its own intrinsic health and strength—now following, oftener leading the public taste, but not depar’ing from its independence to minister to the transient newspaper follies, which, compared to Ihe existence cf the Post, are indeed ephe meral. We shall continue in this path, en deavoring, in Ihe Tit’D A nvm “ ’ —■ — in* a iu Uli i to present the latest and best authenticated intelligence, divested of parly 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 parly— 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 ofeurrent e« vents and to make it accepiable to the FAMILY CIRCLE, We give to its columns the character of a WEEKLY MAGAZINE, embracing, Original Tales and Sketches; Original Verse and Essays; History and Historiet tes; Biography and Legends; Science anrt Statistics; Revolution^ Annals; Moral Tales and Trails of Lite; Origiual Com ments, on Notables; Wit and Humor; in >a word, such a variety of matter as, )our own country first ri membered,) the Whole Literature of the World may offer. The origional translations Ironi European Literature which have fiom time to time appeared iu this journal, are referred to as an earnest that we have SPARED NO PAINS To make the Post truly Cosmopolitan in the Great Republic of Letters. Volume Twenty Seventh, upon which «e are about to enter, will appear in new type, and with such other improvements and advantages as experience may suggest.
