Interests of Scotsmen in the United States and Canada,

AND TO THE DISSEMINATION OF

SCOTTISH LITERATURE AND SCOTTISH NEWS.

HAVING for many years successfully conducted a Scottish newspaper on this continent, the proprietor, in extending a New-Year's greeting to each of his subscribers, begs to thank them for the liberal support they have accorded him.

The object of the JOURNAL is to furnish its readers with an epitome of events transpiring in Scotland, and no effort will be wanting on the part of the proprietor to keep his subscribers au courant in Scottish affairs.

The position which the JOURNAL has hitherto occupied in politics will be maintained independent in the broadest sense of the word. The interests of Scottish residents in the United States and the Dominion of Canada will be carefully considered, and the opinions expressed fully matured.

In the Literary Department of the paper, and more especially those columns devoted to Scottish tales and anecdotes, the utmost care will be taken to render the JOURNAL as attractive as possible. In this respect, we can point with much satisfaction to the story entitled

"PETER SANNOX'S HEIR,"

Commenced on January 1st.

From the necessarily wide-spread circulation of the SCOTTISH AMERICAN JOURNAL, it affords an excellent medium for advertisers, and at the same time offers advantages peculiar to a Scottish newspaper.

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION (payable in advance).

Single copies 7 cents: oue copy for one year $3. Club Rates - Five copies $14; twelve copies $30; twenty copies $50. Specimen numbers sent free.
