PROSPECTUS OF THE
TEXAS NATIONAL REGISTER.
EARLY in December next the undersigned will commence the
publication ol a vcekly newspaper at the town of Washington
"to bo called the Texas National Uegisteb.
Tue-interests of the publishers are directly involved in the general
prosperity of the country ; and as such they will labor in their ap-
propriate sphere and in a becoming manner to disseminate uselul
intelligence encourage public virtue and sustain faithful government.
They nave no cause to advance whichis not common to every good
citizen-; and the course they have prescribed lo themselves will they
confidently believe beapuroved bv every patriot m the several quar
ters of the Republic - They rest their claims to public patronage j
soieiy upon me manner aim epint in wmen mey euuu tusciiarge
their duties as .conductors of a public journal.
In the eoitoriil department politics will not be regarded as the
science of parutan jugglery by which the temporary success of a
faction may be secured or lbeper6onal ad vantage of ihe aspirant pro-
moted; but rather a3 a code of principles which oughtto be obser-
ved for the preservation of our free institutions and the maintenance
of a firm efficient and benificent government.
The undersigned begin their career wholly untrammelled. All
public measures acts and proceedings whether eveculive crlegisla-
tive under the present or succeediug administration wdi be careful-
ly examined dispassionately discussed and if approved freely com-
mended : if the contrary they will be as fearlessly condemned.
As the judiciary in its importance and dignity is in no wise inferi-
or to either of thfc other divisions of the government its upright and
independent action will be especially sustained.
Thcundersigned have no animosities id gratify. They therefore
unreservedly pledge themselves that their columns shall not be dis-
graced bv any indulge-;ce in that personal abuse and embittered vi-
tuperation which have so unfortunately characterized a portion of
thepubliopress. They desire lo make their sheet a national paper
not only reputable to themselves as men and membets of society
but-creditable to the country.
The fdmwand size adopted together with its permanent location
attheseafofjgqvernniem will render ihe Regisier a convenientlre-
pository of valuable matter which may be readily preserved and
filed or Tjound-for future reference. It is intended to accompany
each volume wiih a title page and index.
An abundant supply of paper and other materials has been provi-
ded which will-ecure regular issues and obviate the necessity of oc-
casional suspensions.
It is deemed best 'or all parties that the cash system without
qualification should be adopted. Subscriptions therefore will not
be received nor advertisements inserted unless paid for in advance.
The business stipulations between the publishers will require a most
rigid adheience to this requirement. Exchequer bills will until fur-
ther notice be received atpar.
The names of subscribers should be accurately and legibly written
and ihe post-office to which their papers are to be sent particularly
specified. An extra number of copies will be printed to supply sub-
scribers who may desire to have the paper complete from its com-
mencement. AH communications with the office must be addressed to W. D.
MILLER Editor of the National Register Washington Texas.

PROSPECTUS OF THE GALVESTON
WEEKLY NEWS.
On Saturday the Gth of January next the publication of a
weekly paper will be commenced by the undersigned enti-
tled The Galveston Weekly News devoted to Politics Lite-
rature Foreign and Domestic Intelligence Commercial Af-
fairs and the General News of the Day.
It will be published in conjunciion with the Tri-Weekly
J2vening New under the management of R. D. Seeking Editor
whose entiie attention shall be devoted to renaer iue tumuiuo
of the Weekly News uselul and interesting to every class of
readers. A marked degree of respect and attention shall at all
times be paid to the communications of experienced correspon-
dents (the aluablc aid of a number ol which has been already
secured) and every exertion used to adopt and pursue such a
course as sliall be best calculated to redeem the commercial
character of our country to elevate the character of our na-
tional literature and lo sustain the character of our national
institutions.
In politics the News will be independent pledged to none-
open to all; reserving to itself the right to praise or censure tne
measures of those who are in power or the pretentions ol those
who may aspire to it just as they may be considered calcula-
ted to lesiilt in the good or evil of ihe country.
In relation to the measures of the present administration it
is contended that they have not been ihe best that could have
been adopted for the interest and wellare ol tlie country .iih.
that those in powei have either through ignorance oi willful-
ness trifled with the. important trusts repoed in them by the
people. An earnest and unflinching support shall be given to
the claims ol justice ol those who it is beleived have been ma-
liciously and deeply injured by the highhanded and unlawlul
proceedings ol the present Executive.
A prominent feature in the political principles of the News
will be the advocacy of the expediency and necessity of keep
ing in repair and in a seaworthy condition the vesseis ci our
navy while the affairs of the country remain in their pre.- ent
unsettled condition. It has been satisfactorily demonstrated
that with our navy we are able to contend successtully with
any force that our enemy can Dring against us whereas -n ith-
otu a navy we would be entirely at their mercy.
The Literarv department of the News shall n t be foun 1 in
feriorto that of any paper published in the country; a prefer
ence always being given lo original articles auu me ucm en-
deavors ol its conductor used lo cultivate a liberal taste for the
literary productions of our own authors.
A pjition of each number will be devoted to the public alion
ofa carefully compiled summary of lbteign and domestic news
al.vavs bj.iring in mind however the fact that matters ol a lo
cal natuie are far more interesting lo me public than an thing
else th. editor a ill not lose sight of this d-partment and w ill
endeavor to collect and record such incidents on aits of humor
and general information as will be deemed most intcre ting and.
profitable to the reading community.
Airangeineiiis have already been made to ensure the. receipt
of n conect and iinoarlial record ol me proceeding of the ap
proaching' Corsi ess and from the namre of the saujecis thet
will engjgeim aue. nun oi ine huuuiuuiuuuhj m m an
probability b: of ihe most important and vital inteu-.t.
In relation to maittr.- pertaining more especiuiy to the city
its improvements its murals and "rational amusements do ef-
forts shall be spared by its conductor to place the News- on
such a footing as to make it a medium through which an a-
mount of this species of information shall be convex ed 10 the
public at least equafto thaloi any of itscolemptraries and in
a sbape quite as auracting to the reader.
Accurate notices ol the markets will now and then be given
and a carefully prepared prices current will at all times be
found.in the News. A regularly correl-ted Bank No-.e Table
will also have a place in its columns.
The News will be of medium-size printed on fine paper and
shall contain all the news of ihe week made up ln.ni t. e Tri-
Weekly. .
The publishers two of whom are practical printers and de-
termined that no pains or labor shall be spared to make ihe
News in appearance equal and not inferior to .iny pap?r
published in the Republic.
"TERMS
The Weekly News will be published on Saturday and will
be delivered to city subscribers or fowarded by mail t those in
the country at the low price of FOUR DOLLARS per an-
num payable invariably in advance. No subscription wiiINbe
received lor a less time than 3 months.
Any one who will procure five subscribers to the News and
foward the amount shall receive the paper free of charge.
