Its unrivalled and increasing : circulation, (-over 85,000. is its best recommendation. For the future, however, a determination to be riarr in the van of the American Newapaper Weekly Press, will ea II for increased expenditures and renewed attrac tiona for the coming year, 1842, not the least of evhich will be an improvement in the quality of the paper, and addition nt popular contributors, embracing, we fully believe, the best list to any sinnltr Journal in the world. The Courier is independent in its character, fearless- . ly pursuing a straight fiirwartl course, and supporting n ht-M intereats ot the public .,. It is strictly neutralin pliticii and religion.

With a country aa beautiful and bounteous aa any that the smile of Heaven ever bleesed with a nation o freemen aa Ha inhabitanta al a period of jrolound quiet when neither war nor (amine ha odesola la led ihe one or destroyed the energies of the other, we find the resources of Ihe country cannot be made I y its rulers to yield a revenue sufficient lor its expenses. A ini Heaven gave us the country, but designing men havo given us rulers. When these things press upoo the honest yeo manry of our country, who in all agee and in all countries suffer deeper, and longer, and more in tolerably than any other class, they feel how wo fully they have been betrayed, and how deep and dirk have been the sins perpetrated against them.

Another excuse that these taithle agents give the people is that the Presidonl fail ante it, has deceived them. If he had, it would only be pay M'g them in their own coin.'
