THE EDITORS' ADDRESS.
The discovery of printing has changed all social conditions—the
press, a machine which can no longer be broken, will continue to
destroy the old world till it has formed a new one. Its " voice" is
calculated for the general forum of all people. The Press is
nothing else than the word, the first of all powers—the word
created the universe. Unhappily the word in man participates of
the human infirmity—it will mix evil with good, till our fallen na-
ture has recovered its original purity.
It has become too a matter of more than serious importance,
and one which has been felt to be so by our able public men, toge-
ther with the great bulk of the Nation, that every exteesive com-
munity of a Christian and thinking people—among the luxuries of
life which have been rendered in some degree indispensable to
their moral as well as educational advancement—should be supplied
with a cheap and intelligent Family Manuel of Education, rather
than a mere Newspaper.
In making this open avowal of a sentiment we believe very gene-
rally entertained, we would not be thought invidious. We there-
fore—and once for all—disclaim any such intention. We shall
aim only at being useful ; and therefore venture to hope that our
sphere of usefulness may become more and more enlarged-
Doubtless, it were not difficult to prove, to demonstration—and
and to satisfaction of every liberal mind—that through the media
of the well-stored columns of a Newspaper, much practical good
has been done in the way of " imperceptible education ;" and, that
more lasting benefit remains to be accomplished by means of a
" Weekly Intelligencer," that shall be made to assist the labours of
the Schoolmaster, among the younger branches of almost every
family ; while they could not fail to prove a valuable epitome of re-
ligious, literary, and domestic information to the older ; indepen-
dently of their obvious usefulness in other respects, particularly as
a mode of advertisting.
To those gentlemen who indulge in literary pursuits, and whose
habits render them peculiarly adapted to give the Editors literary
assistance, we would especially address ourselves, in the expectation
that such aid will be cheerfully tendered.
We have been among these who have long held, that a cheap
Literary, Educational, and Domestic weekly journal, was deside-
rated, and would ultimately be obtained. We have lived to see oar
modest notions on this point carried out with some show of success ;
and we cannot but anticipate considerable benefit from its influence,
especiallyt; knowing, as we do, that great care and
en in order to secure that kind of patron-
ageainong increasing families
painslie s
siwill
be taken
which the Editors aim at, and will study to deserve.
When we look at the increase of Cambridge—within the limits
of her suburban districts—together with her natural as well as
artificial—by natural, we mean the native and otherwise fixed re-
aidents ; by artificial, the non-resident or partial resident--popula-
tion ; and these, taken in connection with the unlettered masses
found in the hamlets, villages, and neighbouring towns, we marvel
that a third journal, and such as we propose to establish, should
have been wanting to complete the demand so long made by the
discussion; and because we would be consi-
dered Middle Classes" to represent their paramount interests.
We purposely omitted the mention of Politics in this our brief
sioagssr,eeraabthleer than Politicians. In former times Patriots
statement ; because we dislike their unprofitable, and not unfre-
,bitrhdatliiEvedli,utshPe
dpgeruiredenedtdilY)tandterimselves on two things : their own poverty, and the riches
of the State. Bat poor as these men were, there were Kings not
rich enough to purchase them, nor powerful enough to intimidate

them. In our time, however, it would be easier to find a Patriot
rich enough to buy a King, than a King not rich enough to bu

being consulted,
YElius would flourish ; but that if it died, the prosperity of the
State would prevail. Your modern. Patriots have discovered, that
a roasted woodcock is a better thing than a prime, though raw,
a Patriot. Valerihuandlrleapxliiemdu,sthian

It must not be forgotten, that we are proposing to establish our-
selves, as public journalists, in the bosonof an University, grown
old, if not venerable, in the service of learning.
Nor can we forget
the respectful homage due from ourselves to the Tutor and the
Student ; to the former, particularly, we bow with deference to
greater powers of mind, and more extensive knowledge. We shall
be most happy to have their united aid in furtherance of oar design.
The
seldom Lover of Literature, the Drama, the Arts and Sciences, will
find " The Cambridge Guardian," without valuable
hints ; extracts from the leading Periodicals—especially from
Blackwood and Fraser. without reference to Politics (which inter-
fere with the progress, and sometimes rove the ban of literature),
the Metropolitan, the Westminster, &c.
We promise the ingenious Mechanic, the industrious and de-
serving Artisan, something to benefit aid instruct them. We shall
ever he alive to the poor man's rights and privileges: we are, in
truth, his sworn friend. We shall not prove ourselves so truly
mean, as to purchase popularity at the expense of the poor man's
conscience : nor, by withholding our strictures on the conduct of
his ENEMIES, when both justice and humanity plead is his behalf !
The young of both•sexes will, it is devoutly to be hoped, find in
our " Companion for the Middle Classes,"both
informaticei and
amusement, for the employment of the mind.
From first to last we shall be found irrefutably opposed to war.
We never utter the name of our Warriors without feeling that we
belong to a blood-stained race of men ! And when we read of the
murderous licentiousness of Don-almighty-Carlos, who has been
suffered by the Great Powers of Europe, to march thousands of
victimized men to slaughter their fellow victims, leaving in the
the most cruel desolationmothers, wives, and children ; we ask,
can such a state of rapine, cruelty, and bloodshed be conducive to
the welfare of the great human family ? Let us cherish sentiments
like Cowper'', who was a patriot ; who loved his country ; who
loved liberty

Srea it ten,
" And let it circulate througph every h ery vein
" Of all your empire ; that where Britain's power
" Is felt, mankind may feel her mercy too.'
Every man who honestly-:--if not ably—advocates the cause of
freedom and good government is popular in England. For, natu-
rally and of necessity the people's sympathies are linked to those
who prove themselves their friends, who labour to diminish their
burdens, and diffuse among them a just and wholesome rt lish for
knowledge : to provide civil and religious instruction for their chil-
dren, and raise them to that mental condition in which they may,
with safety to themselves and to the State, exercise all the " rights
of freemen."

In our pursuits of literature, as well as of arts and science, we
shall be guided by these our first principles. We shall also en-
deavour to apply:them generally,:under all circumstances; attempt-
ing to show at the same time, wherein we differ from other pub-
lic writers, and by explaining wherein we consider Institutions,
Laws, and Customs, are or are not calculated to conduce to the
good of the great Human Family.
It were unwise in us to pre-tend that the acts of public men
shall not sometimes be discussed; but we pledge ourselves not to
suffer our educational and domestic columns to be polluted by any
rabid, vicious, and degrading matter.
