THE SATURDAY COURIER. ON the first Saturdav in April was commenced a periodical Journal, to be published once a week, and designated by the above title. Custom has rendered it necessary fr the projectors of a new literary undertaking, to present an analysis of the plan which they intend to adopt," in order that the public may jnde,e how far the scheme is likely to be deserving of patronage. Oars shall be brief Newspapers have been aptly called The Chronicles ef the ''? and "when under the guidance of sound principle and assured abilities, may justly be cnsidei ed the safeguards of a iiati ii. Many, however, diertcd from the legitimate objects of their institution, are prostituted to purposes hich inolve injury to tuc orais, and impediment to the advancement cf a people. This it shall be our stud to avoid. All matters of interest, connected with the general and state governments shall receive from us the earliest attention. We disclaim all party feelings or prejudices, but

m doing this we would be understood as J,'"'1' Mllf """"" -'"J-hnldn.e ourselves at li.ertv to open our col i"Mt rates for casu or mcecMUitaole

uuins and express our sentiments in relation to all subjects ot public interest, whether connected with politics or otherwise. Light Reading, in all its various departments, will form an object ot our especial care. 1 he numerous sources for obtaining the best selections trom foreign and domestic literature within our reach, authorise us to assert that, in this respect, our journal will not sutler in comparison with any other in the country. Internal Improvements, Agriculture and Domestic Manufactures, shall receive from us that consideration to which they are entitled b their great and growing importance. Among the regular notice of the wees., will be given a corrected Puicls Current of Stocks and the grain market. The latest. Foreign and Domestic Intelligence, received by i he Eastern and Southern Mails on Saturday, will always be found in this paper In short, nothing shall be overlooked that may be deserving the attention and character of enterpnzing, intelligent and industrious journalists. V e are not ignorant that we must encounter many tldhcultics in advancing to public favor, but long experience in the mechanical branches ot our profession, and an ardent desire to render ourselves useful in their more extensive prosecution, lead us to believe that these obstacles will not prove insurmountable. e rely particularly on the liberality always shewn by an enlightened public to tnterpi izes judiciously conducted, and confidently make the assurance that our claims to patronage will not be lessened by anv want of proper talent in aiding to give spirit and value to our undertaking.
