. PROSPECTl S OF THE DAILY JOI RNAL.
The Sabscriben this day commence the publication ia tha
towa t WilmingtoB, cf a daily evening fT by the abovt
title, it will be issued every diy (Sundays excepted) after
the arrival vf the mails, nmU giva the very latest intelli
gence from all quarters. Th publishers will also avail
themWlves of every additional facility within their reach fof
the collection of news.
Particular attention will Be paid to the Commercial depart
ment of the paper, and full and accurate reports given of the
state of oar own markets, as well as f all others having any
iuflaeue upon the trade of this place or section.
The growing importune of Wilmington, and the increas
ing wants of the mercantile community at large, have seemed
to call for and warrant the commencement of this enterprise.
Xorth Carolina is almost, if not quite, the only Mate in the
Union in which to daily pajer is published. California, which
but yesterday was a wilderness, has a flouriebing daily press,
while Xorth Carolina has not ons within her borders.
Suth should not be the ease. We believe that we can fairly
appeal to the State pride, as well as to the interests of our
fellow-citizens, to sustain us in our present effort to remove
this reproach.
It is scarcely necessary to refer to the politics of "The Dai
ly J-u rnal, " as it will be under the same editorial manage
ment with the Weekly " Wii-mooton Joi haL, " which ta
per will continue to be published on the same terms as fur
merly, deriving, it is to be hoped, additional iuterest from
the use of the more extended facilities which the publication
of a daily must render necessary. In polities it will support
the doctrines of the Democratic party ; yet, while firm and
decided in the assertiou ami maintenance of its own opinions,
will be moderate and respectful towards those who may differ
from it.
Turn!. The price of "The Daily Joi knal " will be su
dollars per annum, invariably in udcancf. The heavy out
lay attendant upon the publication of such a pajwr will ren
der a strict adherence to this rulo tmjxratirt. A tri-weekly
paper will also bo issued at four dollars jkt annum, should a
sufficient number of tri-wcekly subscribers be obtained.
The " Daily Joi rnal " is now before the public. Thela
bor and outlay which its issue entails is very considerabls, and
will require a generous support to save us from heavy loss.
In starting it, wo have relied upon that liberality which
has heretofore been extended to us, and have launched our
bark, determined that it shall siiik or swim uoii its own
merits'. FULTON & PRICE.
