the established standard of trntn
In the natural course of affairs. it will
sometimes be necessary, from a want OF po-
iitical matter, that the columns OF paper
should be supplied with moral disuusltieas,
practically useful and interesting aud lDstruc-
tive anecdotes from historic research. Nor
can this course be well objected, by t4ose
whose feelings are alive to the c; use OF ga-
nuine morality and religion. The EDITOR
calculates with confidence upon receiving

the strongest ties OF nature, and OF i1lerssts
he will ever consider it as primary object,
to destroy those seeds Of dissentlon Which
have had the tendency to retard The growth
and prosperity of the town. 1t is obvious to
the most superficial observer, that the minus
tia of politics cause difference ofsentlment,

Washington, together with his services, shall
ever be revered.

on the minds of those who may favor him
with their pat onage, thai his mind has as

politics, no! on the contrary, ne unequlvO-
cally del ares, that his sentiments are decid-
edly republican.
