PROSPECTUS
of the
LEAVENWORTH JOURNAL

The undersigned proposes to commence the publication of a Weekly Newspaper in Leavenworth City, under the title of the LEAVENWORTH JOURNAL.

1st. We are induced to engaged in this enterprise from a conviction that another paper is required by the growing population of Kansas, and the public demand for full and reliable information in regard to its history, topography, climate, soil, resources, politics, present condition, and future prospects. Such information we can more readily furnish here, since Leavenworth City is the commercial entrepot of the Territory -- occupies a position of direct inter-communication with two-thirds of its population, and is the focus of news.

2d. We believe that the institution of black slavery is a moral, political and economical blessing, that it is right in principle and expedient in policy, and hence should be defended and extended. It is our purpose to maintain those propositions in our paper, and do all in our power to make Kansas a slave State. In the discussion of the slavery question, however, we will endeavor to maintain a conservative position, to present arguments and facts instead of denunciation and abuse.

3d. Although the "Leavenworth Journal" will be devoted to politics in a great degree, yet it will pay due regard to the good, the true and beautiful. It will exhibit a faithful portraiture of the times in which we live, by presenting a correct account of the current events of the day, the progress of the arts and sciences, of education, Commerce, Agriculture and internal improvements. It will discuss all subjects with freedom and firmness, give all parties their dues.

If our Weekly Journal meets with a cordial support, we intend soon to publish a Tri-Weekly, and perhaps a Daily.

The editorial department of the "Journal" will be presided over by S. S. Goode, late of Kentucky, and Warren D. Wilkes, late of South Carolina. We appeal to our friends to sustain us.

Terms -- Weekly, $2; Tri-Weekly, $5.
