Editors and Publishers
We shall send copies of our first number to several of our most respected contemporaries, and would solicit their aid in notifying the mechanics of their vicinities, of the existence of the S. American. Those who will give our advertisement (head of our first page) an insertion in their columns, shall be entitled to two copies of our paper, by which they will each have one copy to preserve and another to clip, as occasion may require; or, if they prefer it, we will send a dollar in cash for the insertion. Those who may volunteer to act as agents for this paper, may retain of the money received, 25 cents as commission, for each subscriber obtained.
SECURE THE FIRST NUMBERS. - We have a few copies of our first number remaining, and those who intend to become subscribers will do well to secure them while they may. There will soon be a pressing demand for them, when too late.
EVERY SUBSCRIBER AN AGENT .- WE have often observed in sectarian papers, a general request that all clergymen of the same denomination, should act as agents for the paper; and by such means, some papers have attained to an immense circulation. Not having any similar available advantage, we could solicit the favour of every honest mechanic who may receive this paper, to use his influence in our favour, and induce as many more as possible to subscribe for it. All favours of this kind will be dully appreciated.
POSTMASTERS and others to whom this paper may be sent, are respectfully solicited to exhibit the same to others, that its patronage may be thus extended.
OUR ADVERTISEMENT .- Every person who looks at this paper, is particularly requested to examine our advertisement at the head of the first column, on the first page.
