WEEKLY NEWS.
On Saturday the 6th 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 conjunction with the Tri-Weekly
Evening News under the management of R. D. Sebring Edit '
whose entire attention rhall be devoted to render the columns
of the Weekly News UMjf'M and interesting to every class ol
readers. A marked degree of respeel and attention shall at all
limes be paid i the communications of experienced correspon
ueiits v."11- wuuuoic am n a nuinuer oi wnicn nas ueeu uncauj
secured) and every exertion used to adopt and pursue such a
course as sjall be best calculated to redeem the commercial
character of our country to elevate the character of our na-
tional literature and to sustain the character of our nationa.
institutions.
In politics the News will be independent pledged to none
open iu an; icserviiig 10 iiseu ine rig Hi to praise or censure iuc
measures of those who are in power or the pretentions of those
who may aspire to it jut as they may be considered calcula-
caio lesiiit in me goou or evil ol ihe country.
In relation to Ihe measures of the present administration it
is contci.ded that they have not been the best that could have
been adopted for the interest and welfare of the country and
that those in pove have either through ignorance or willful-
ntss. trifled with the important trusts reposed in them by the
people ah earnest ana unitincning support shall De given to
tin claims ol justice of those who it is beleived have been ma-
liciously an ' leeply injured by the highhanded and unlawful
proceedings ol the present Executive.
A prominent leature in the political piinciples of the News
will be the advocacy of the expediency and necessity of keep
ing in repair and in a seaworthy condition ihe vessels of our
navy while ihe affairs of the country remain in therr present
unsettled condition. It has been satislactoriiy demonstrated
that with our navy we are able to contend successlully with
any force that our enemy can bring against us whereas with-
ont a navy we would be entirely at their mercy.
The Literary department ol ihe News shall n t be found in
feriorto that of any paper published in the country; a prefer-
ence always being given lo original articles and the best en
deavors of its conductor used to cultivate a liberal taste for the
literary productions of our own authors.
A portion of each number will be devoted to ihe publication
ofacarcla ly compiled summary of foieign and domestic news

cal natPr. iw far more interesting to the public than any thing
el.se ilw editor w;U not lose sight of this department and will
en ' avor to collect and record such incidents on dils of humor
and c.icral tmormaiion as will be deemed most interesting and
prontable to the reading community.
Arrangements have already been made to ensure thi receipt
ol a corre.-t anil impartial record ol the proceeding ol the ap-
proachinjr Congress and from the nature of the subjects thet
will engage the attention of the honorable body will in all
probability be ol he most important and vital interest.
In relation to matters pertaining more especialy to the city
its improvements itt. morals and rational amusements no el
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-
uiiiuni of this species of information shall be conveyed to the
public al least cq'tal lo thatol any ol llscotemporanes and in
a sbane auite a- .ractin? to the 'eader.
Accurate notices of the marke's will now and then be given
and a carc't"v prepared prices current will at all limes be
found in ihe News. A regularly corrected Bank Note Table
will also have a place in its columns.

TEXAS NATIONAL REGISTER.
T7
7VARLY in December next the undcrsicned "will commrnce the
JjJpublication ot a weekly newspaper at ihe town of Washington
to he called the Texas IN i.ioxal Register.
The interests of the publishers are directly involved in ihegencral
prosperity of the country; and as such they will labor in their ap-
. propriate sphere and iifa becoming manner to disseminate uselul
intelligence encourage public vir!u and tustain faiihfui government.
Theyliave m cause to advance .i..Lhis not common to-everygood
citizen ; and the course th;y have prescribed to themselves will they
confidently believe be approved by every patriot in the several quar-
ters of the Republic. They res: their claims to public patronage
solely upon th manner and spirit in which they shall discharge
their duties ns i ouductors of a public journal.
In the cjitunal department politics will not be regarded as the
science of pariizan jugglery by which the temporary success of a
faction may be secured ortlieprrsonaladvantngeofiheaspirantpro
moled; but rather as a code of principles which ought to be obser-
ved lor the preservation -of our free institutions and the maintenance
of a firm efficient and benificent government.
The undersignud begin their career wholly untrammelled. All
public measures actsand proceedings whether evecutive or legisla-
tive under the present or succeeding administration wil: be careful
ly eKimincd 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 eitlur of the other divisions of the government its upright and
indepenaV unction will be especially sustained.
The undersigned have no animosities to gratify. They therefor
uaresi-vedly pledge themselves thai their columns shall nolbedis-
Kraeii bv any indulgence in that personal abiuc and embittered vi-
t!i::?rarion which have so unfortunately characterized a portion of
thf lblicpress. They desire to make their sheet a national paper
not jnly reputable to themselves as men and membeit of society'
but creditable itho country
The form an J size adopted together with its permanent location
at the seat of government will render the Register a convenient re
pository of valuable matter which may te readily preserved and
tiled or bound for future reference. It is intended to accompany
ach volume with a title page and index.
An abundant supply ot paper and other materials has been provi-
ded which will secure regular issues and obviate the necessity of oc-
casional suspensions.
It is deemed best for all parties that the cash system without
qualification should be adopted. Subscriptions therefore wilt not
be received nor advertisements insrrted unless paid for in advance.
The business simulations betwr.eil ihe publishers will rcqu.re a most
rigid adhcicnce to this requirement. Exchequer bills will until lur-
tlicr notice be received at par.
The nain'S of subscribers should be accurately and legibly written
and the po i-offico to which their papers arc to be sent particularly
specified. An -xtra number of copies will be printed to supply sub-
scribers who y desire to have the paper complete from its com-
incnccnii" All communications with the office must be addressed to W. D
nilLLKK Editor of the National Register Washington Texas.
