No where, perhaps, have the beneficial eslcets
of periodical publications been more gent faiiy
felt, or duly appreciated, than in this country
aud no where, we believe, their ahpies might be
more iuity deprecated; but iuch is the cloie ALL
nity be.wesn their goodandb bad consequences, be-
tween the liberty and licentopfnels of the prets,
that the mott experienced of our political urge

mortal wound TO the other. Being an evil with

that could be dcviied, for tecuring the peace and
happneIs, and promoting the true interelts OF
this coursry, they declare it their intention, at
all times, to advocate meainTcs producing thote
deGrable consequences.
We have ever held the conduct Of many of the
oppoirrs Of the former administrations, IN their
newspaper publications, in the utmoit, and we
think. nerited contempt. Wihul mifreprefen-
tations MAY deceive for while, and thereby fur
ther the views of thote who employ iueh means;
but it's not by reiorting to them, that we hope
or intend to promote our own intereit, much leis
that OF the public. Towards cur political op-
ponents we wills do as we would be done by

calunlnies, yer heaped upon thoie no longer in
