It is our aim to make the "WEEKLY SUX the best family newspaper in th( world. It will be full of entertaining and appropriate reading of every sort, but will print nothing toottend the most scrupulous and delicate taste.

The Agricultural Department is :i prominent future in the WEEKLY SUN, and its articles will always be JUUIiU HUnil illHI U.1UIU1 IU lilt taiiuci. The number of men independent in polities is inereasingaud the Weekly Hun is their paper especially. It belongs tono party, mid obeys no dictation, contending for principle, and for the election ol the best men. It exposes the corruption that disgraces the country' and threatens the overthrow of republican institutions. It has no fear of knaves, and seeks no tavors from their supporters. The markets of every kind and the fashions are regularly reported. The price oft lie WKEh L V SUN is om dollar a yeur for a sheet of eight pages, and lifty-six columns.
