fits the Gccond time the fu(PeAfon Of the Pert
saal C,,na,erri4I GezHtc' has been thus exult-
inglv mentioned in that organ Of democracy.
AS i IS ever an unpeaiant talk TO touch on our
own concerns b. fore the public, we fhall be brief
- our comments and even thete ihouid not
be indulced, were they not neceilary IN ielF-de-
fence - The hiftory of the " Commercial Gaz
,tfe" is well known. Being dehgned entirely
for commercial and advertiGng qurpoics, it could
with no propriety be called a political paper
But the little malice and lying tpirlt OF the Ar
gus. Immediately pronounced ITS iuipenEon as
the death of a Federaf babr.* The intention of
this ungenerous conduct was well underitood !:
The leading iacooins of this Dttrcf, the duPes
os VirginiaE faction, have long been engaged
90 interrupt the circu alton of the Gazette, to
deitroy its influence, to lnjure and embarraiS Its
editor, and finally to damn it from eAiftence
II was therefore pomPoully announced in their
Daper that /" 9enkJ Portland Commercial Gazette"
was dead and many of their itupld followers
,coneludcd that no more federal papers were to
b circuiated from our Office. Such are among
the means uied to promote the cauis OF revo-
Iutionarv faction. How far they luccccd, LEI
facts determine 1t is true there is nor tutilcest
announcement here yet TOR Commercial paper ];
but il Is true that the continual increatc OF our
patrons, prove to US, that paper devoted to
correct principles, and genera Intelligence, will
foon dlhpate the miits of democracy, and dh-
appoint the views of our enemies. Such "a
per the GAZETTE lhal ever be, while under
our condua and we feel happy in aturlng our
friends, and Announcing 70 our opponents, that
we ihail verv foon idue IT IN an improved lille,
with fuch additions of matter, as to render IT
more extenively u(eful relying at the lame
time, on the addition TO our hit OF thoie who
have heretofore luppoued the unfortunate pa
pers whole diiContinuance has been noticed with
fuch boyiih exultation by the Argus, Although
we arc (orry for the misfortuud6 OF any OF our
brethren of the type, we cannot out here exPreis
belief, that the caufe of found principles will
be greatly promoted by uniting the iupport IN
one paper; which will enable is conductor TO
pur(ue it with energy and effect. And 1t Is felt
evident, that tx prefts cannot at prefent be fup-
ported in Maine Would the Jacotins attempt
20 eitabilh another paper in the Diitrict Its
believed they would not.
sTt may be here afked with what truth fhould
she heald be termed tfderal paper, when it
has been for years laborisg in the cauCe Of de-
:nocracy and the adminttraton took from us
.hc promugaton Of the laws, and gave them to
that paper.
