THE

OB FLOWERS OF LIT£BATCE| WIT and SENTIMENT.

FOR:T827J-y'y Office of the Saturday Evening Post, Philadelphia December 2, 1826. THE CASKET, or Flowers of Literature. Wit and Sentiment, which has 'nd an unprecedented increase of patios during the last six months, will aft^r the present volume is finished, contain, each number, 40 octavo pages printed well, on small handsome type, upon the finest paper, stitched and covered, and furnished at the low price of Two dollars and fifty cents per annum The Casket is a collection from the choi cest pieces of the Saturday Evening Py^t, made with a reference to the diilerenre which should exist in the ma terials of a weokly paper, and those of a monthly publication, the former of course enriched with essays, poetry, an eodotes, and these set off by a recital of the occurrences of the week. The latter can receive little value from a mere detail of events, many of which would cease to be interesting before they were recorded.

The vast quantity of matter crowded by small type, and careful arrrangement into the colurns of every number, ©f the Sa'urday Evening Post, will in the course of a month, furnish the most ample materials from which to form an interesting periodical work such as the Casket has been considered by its partial friends, and such as we intend it shall be Notwithstanding the fact, that the Casket is but a colliection from the columns of the Saturday Evening, Post we confidently predict, and indeed we are sanctioned in the experience we already have that its most numerous patrons will be found among the subscribers to our weekly

papir

ty LINTON.

A large number of

those who take the Post depend upon that paper for the news of the week—it is therefore read with avidity by almost every member of the family where it is received, and this general use frequently injures its appearance so much as almost to render it unfit for the file, and for binding The numbers too, by this general use, are not unfrequently lost, mutilated or entirely destroyed, and the file thus broken The Cask* is calculated to prevent this inconvenience, and to furnish, at a very cheap price, all the usefu matter frr which the weekly paper would desirable when bound In thus giving a permanent form and select asseciation to the choice piecesof our weekly contributors, it is confidently anticipated that new and successful inducements will be held out for the exercise of superior talent, and unusual care in our literary department

In addition to the recommendation of neatness in the general appearance—and particular attention to the typographi cal execution, it is ourintpntioa to embellish each number of the Casket with three handsome engravings lrotn the hands of some of the most distinguished artists of the country.

With these claims to patronage, the Casket will, as has been previously mentioned, be afforded to those who subscribe for that paper exclusively, at the :ow price of $ 50 peryear, a subscription which it is confidently believed is much lower than that of any other publication of a similar character in this country—But to the subscribers of the Saturday Evening Post the Casket will be furnished for C'O.

The January No. for 1827,% will "be embellished with a portrait of the late veneivble .?OI:N ADAMS, formerly President ol tlie United States, one of Longacre's best engravings also, a correct & beautiful view of-FAIK OUNT WATER WORKS, in the vicinity of Philadelphia besides the first No of the S HOOL Of LOKA, being the commencement, of a regular series of 1 realises on Botany, illustrated wUh numerous cuts.

Post-Masters and publishers of papers who will interest themselves in ob .fining subscriber, and be responsible for the subscription, shall be entitled to every sixth copy gratis Address

ATKINSON & ALEXANDER, Philadelphia Persons wish.rig.to subscribe, will please to send in their names by the first of the year, as there is no doubt the demand for the work will be greatly increased, and therefore the possibility of being furnished with the Nos from the beginning, will be rendered more doubtful

Editors inserting fhe above 2 or three times, shad receivc a cop^ of the work.

JOHN KWING, A (AS EDITOR.)

BegsUave to present himself to his fel-low-citizens with proposals for pub lishing in Vincennes, Indiana, a weekly newspaper to be called

THE TELEGRAPH.

t|)evoted

to Agriculture, Commerce,

j\". Manufactures, Politics, Literature and Morals. -'V. THE growing population of the western section of Indiana, will readily furnish adequate reasons for a belief, that another Newspaper in Vincenne9, should meet with ample support and encouragement. Under this impression, the editor can say with sincerity, that his design ?s not merely to .pursue a profitable business, but to he the means of issuing, from the old metropolis of our territory, a weekly sheet, devoted to the best .ntrests of the people, and worthy of such adequate remuneration as yvvill afford encouagement.

Tus-cditor hasf^adopted the name of the River which biends with tiie great central water courses of our state, and he hoj.ei to unite state pride with the patronage of talent—to give a fon:e to his strictures corresponding with the physical force of that magnificent stream. He professes to be a republican, not on'y in

but in

PRACTICE

PRINCIPLE,

he wishes to assert

and advocate the rights of the citizen he wishes to establish a medium through which to promulgate correct intelligence of matters interesting to all hs wishes to point to an adequate stnnulous to the industry and enterprise' of our population—and he wishes to acc the means of instruction within the reach of even inhabitant oftne Stat' In propagating these wishes, the editor will never encroach upon the rights, or feelings of such as may please to differ with him, and soleiy rely before an intelligent people, upon the intrinsic strengh of his cause, supported by the immutable nature ot truth and reason In pur su:ng this course however, a decisive character shall mark the editorial department of the Telligraph. Both principles and measures will occasionally be discussed with a becoming frankness and freedom, from which nothing shall entice the editor to swerve.

Although the concerns of our own State will more immediately engross the columns of this paprr, those of the Union sh il] not be overlooked. The proceeding of our State Legislature & of congress and the acts of the exec-1 utive of this estate and of the Union, will be duely itic.-d, together with, all such measures of the different States as may be deemed of general Interest. ireign News, Literary and Miscellaneous articles, Poetry, Moral Es.aya—in fine, every kind of in tell geuce which is generally found in a newspaper will find a place, but the paper will be conducted with a particular view to the important interests men tioned under its title, and the promul gation of facts, and the support of measures tending to promote their advancement.

The sentiments of patriotism and virtue, which hav foryearx past, deadened the rancour of party spirit throughout t'^e States, and led to a union of all correct and liberal thinkers, shall never be disturbed nor shall the

TELEGRAPH be open to scurrilous attacks upon private reputation'or domestic repose, under any pj etext. Yet, against such attacKs when they be made eisewhere, it shall always insert the defence, if couched in decent language. The editor i« aware, that the duration of this publication, will mainly depend upraa liberal support, and that its pro ji cted utility cannot be suflicitntly aided by a mere local patronage :he therefore respectfully calls upon the citizens of the State to aid bun. A number ot suojects will be discussed in the columns of the TELEGRAPH, with which the editor cannot pretend to be familrly acquainted—he has not. however, "reckoned without his host being .assured ol the aW of gentlemen, whote talents are a sufficient pledge. In ad* dition to this, the thoughts and communications of all correspondents shall, it presented in a becoming styje and not objectionable in point of fact, meet the_public eye through this channel and however inimical such communicationk may be to the particular sentiments of the editor, he will notice them, when necessary, with that liberal modreation which freemen in a general cause should never forget. he first number of the paper will appear as soon as the subscription list uiay justify its commcnccment.y 1'
