or THE
TEXAS CENTINEL.
THE subscribers propose publishing in the City of Austin
a weekly newspaper to be called the Texas Centinel.
We deem it unnecessary to publish a lengthy prospectus or
go into a labored exposition of Ihe course which will be pur
sued by the paper; but will content ourselves by promising to
use our endeavors to make it generally useful to the people of
Texas.
The piper will be devoted to no man or set of men neither
for nor against Ihe Administration ; but will approve of the acts
of this or any other Administration which we conceive to be
calculated to advance the interest of the country. When we
find it our duty to oppose any measure of the Government we
shall state our objections frankly avoiding invective and per-
sonal abuse.
The first number will appear during tie early part of the
present session of Congress and be published regularly there-'
after.
It will give regular accounts of the proceedings of Congress
with sketches of the debates on the most important subjects.
Tlrras Five Dollars per annum. If paid in advance Tex-
as promissory notes will oe taken atpar.
