Though we have named numerous nnections experience has
taught us that they are not too n.any. It will be necessary to know
that this article is theonly one we can recommend ; but must cau-

thousands who have tested its virtues or witnessed its effects.

From the delightful location and health of Matagorda; from the

PROSPECTUS OF THE
TEXAS NATIONAL REGISTER.
EARLY in December next thfrundersigned will commence the
publication ol a weekly news-paperatthe town of Washington
to be called theTxAS Natioxal 'Register.
The interests of the publishers are directly involved in the general
prosperity ofthe country ; and as such they will labor in their ap-
propriate sphereand in a becoming manner to disseminate uselul
intelligence encourage public virtueand sustain faithful government.
They have no cause to advance which is not common to every good
citizen ; and the course thsy hve prescribed to themselves will they
confidently believe be approved by every patriot in the several quar-
ters of the Republic They rest their claims to j.ublic patronage
solely upon the manner and spirit in which they shall discharge
their duties as conductors of a public journal.
In the editorial department politics will not be regarded as the
science of partisan jugglery by which the temporary success of a
faction may be secured or the personal advantngeoftheaspirantpro
moted; but rather as a code of principles which ought to be obser-
ved lor the preservation of our free institutions and themaintenance
of a firm efficient and benificent government.
The undersigned begin their career wholly untrammelled. AH
public measures acts and proceedings whether eyecutive or legisla-
tive under the present or succeeding administration wilt be. careful-
ly examined dispassionately discussed and if approved freely com-
mended : if the contraryt they will be as fearlessly condemned.
As the judiciary in its importance and dignity is in no wise inferi-
or to either of the other divisions ofthe government its upright and
inuepeiiaeut action win De especially sustained.
The undersigned have no animosities to gratify. They therefore
unreservedly pledge themselves that their columns shall not be dis-
graced bv any indulgence in that personal abuse and embittered vi-
tuperation which have so unfbrtunately characterized a poriion ol
the public press. They desire to make their sheet a national paper
not only reputable to themselves as men and membets of society
but creditable to the country
The form and 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 be readily preserved and
tiled or bound for future reference. It is intended to accompany
ach volume with a title page and indexi
An abundant supply of 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 thai 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 adheienc3 to this requirement. Exchequer bills will until fur-
ther notice be received nt par.
The names of subsenbers Should be accurately and legibly written
and the post-c-flice to which their papers are :o 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 All communications with the office must be addressed to W. D
MILLER Editor of the National Register Washington Texas.
