PROSPECTUS OF "THE TEXAS TU.ES"
THE proprietor proposes to publish in the City of Galveston, a
wtekly paper, under the title ot '"The Texas Times." It will be
a continuation of tliL "ban Luis Advocate," until eleven numbers
shall have been published w hieh will complete the present volume
ot that paper. 'Ihcse numbers will be forwarded to subscribers;
and additional copies sent to suth persons in Texas and the United
States as arc supposed to be desirous of patronising s ch a Journal
as it is hoped the Times will prov e to be
All who are not disposed to subscribe, alter oecommg acquauuea
with the management and charaater of theliauer. will make known
their resolve, by returning the first number of the second volume
through the Post Office. They wdl not be charged with the first
eleven numbers. All who do not signify their dissent, by this means
or some other equally convenient, will be enrolled as regular sub-
scribers. The establishment has been removed from San Luis, miinly on
account of fachties here afforded foi communicating regularly with
every section of the Republic, as well as foreign Nations ; and with
the hope of deserving and obtaining, a share of the business patron-
age of this commercial emporium ol Texas.
Subscribers to the "San Luis Advocate" have had opportunities of
judging the mechanical skill used in the publication ol the paper.
An assurance is given to all, that the best materials only will be us-
ed, and unw caned attention given to uvoid typographical and other
errors.
'iheidilorhl department will be under the control of ihe proprie-
tor, and no effort shall be wanted on hispart, to render the columns
of" the Times useful and interesting to eery class ot rcauf-rs. The
aid of experienced and talented correspondents, in dillerent sections
of the country, has been secured, and readers may lely on being ser
ed with many rich treats, illustrating the habits, manners, tupog
raphy, mineral wealth, agricultural and all other resources of the
country, calculated to make known and advance ns interests.
No sectional prejudices shall be cnterta ned, but the position ta-
ken, that particular i onions of the coantry are pteularly adapted lo
the promotion of crrcaponduig interests; and that tht. wealth and
prosj-enty attendant on such congeniality of pui-uns, dictated by
natural advantages, will advance the general happiiuss and welfare
of all.
The Times is intended to be a National paper, and no opportunity
will be lost to collect, and preserve lrom oblivion, every interesting
fact rela'ing to the history and early settlement of the eountry tin.
difficulties trials, hardships and dangers, encountered and conquer-
ed by the "Old Tnree Hundred" utider the grtat and good Au.tin,
until Texas took rank among the nations of the earth. Kery inci-
dent wonhy ol not', in the present int. resting crisis, wd. bo lurnt-h-ed
by able writers belonging to the Army and -Navy, and faithfully
chronicled in the Times
A portion of each number will be devoted to the pub'ication of a
carefully compiled summary ol loreign news, and to citeh matters as
may be deemed interesting, snenccor general information. In iheee
depar'iuents, a p-elereme will be givui to original composition,
whrn concaved to be of such a character as to elevate our National
literature m the estimation of the world.
Timely arrangf ments will be made to insure a correct and inde
pendent history of the proee.dings of Congress, when in session.
In puliucs, the Times VriWbeindeptndcnt, and praise or censure
ihosc who are in power, or those who may asp-re to it, j'ist as the
principles they advocate are calculated to result in good or evil to the
country Ammadveisions will be made on measures, and not upon
men; the columns of thepaper shall never be polluted with matters
affecting the vices, or private characters of individuals, however lnh
their station may be. War will be waged against vice, but not the
vicious.
A reform in the present constitution will be zealously advocated :
it is radically defective unsuited to the times and the country; it
was framed in haste, and without that deliberation which should be-
long to a charter upon which the rights and liberties Of a people are
founded. Its defects will be pointed out from time to time, and the
collisions that daily arise between the different departments of the
government; which as a consequence, introduces anarchy and
confusion, render the administration of public jusl.ee, and the rights
of persons and property, insecure.
Arguments and examples will be introduced, to prove that Texas
can m ver prosper as a nation, until the contests ar sing from disputes
and uncertainty about land titles, shall be adjusted. Such measures
will be supported, as are best calculated to cause a speedy and just
settlement of this exed question.
A zealous support will be given, to all measures tending to sustain
and preserve national faith and national honor. The governing
principle m a Republican government should be, to "do justice lo all
and exact it from all."
The most teas ble and effective policy which presentsjtself, will be
advot ated for protecting the frontierirom savage incursion that the
various resources olihathealiny ana ueauiuuipoinonoi inertepuo
lie, may be realised and enjoyed.
Untiring support will be given to-cvery measure believed to be ne
cessary to bring in a close the war we are now engaged in with Mex-
ico. Past experience induces the belief that prompt and energetic
action is best calculated to procure peace, without which we can
never enjoy the blessings and prosperity, incident to a sound cur--rency.
credit, and successful commerce.
TERMS :
Subscribers to The Texas Times will be furnished with the first
eleven numbers free of charge, and as other motivi s than pecuniary
xiggrandizement, are paramount with the proprietor, he is desirous of
giving an extensive circulation to the Time3 as a general vehicle of
intelligence, by reducing the terms to the moderate price of four
dollabs in advace, or five dollars at tije close of the succeeding
volume.
The paper is established on a fooling which will ensure its perma-
nent continuance. nov23-j64
