Alta very great expence, the proprietor, has
Etely procured entire new fonts of tyr E tor this

1t is believed that it now contains u quantity OF
matter nearly equal to any paper printed in A
merica. The price (the same rs in the year
1898, when it commenced) is 20 per cent. lower
,aan the other papers of this city. Notwith-
standing this, however, and the INCREASED price
of types, paper, sc. which cannot be obtained
but for cash, the subscription will not be raised
Co punctuak subscribers. But in Justice 90 him
self the printer gives this early notice to his pa
irons, that from and after the first day of the
year 1872, the paper will be charged at the
rate of FIVE DOLLARS per annuHn to all those
who do not pay their subscriptions in the course
Of the current ycar.--The opportunities by Prl-
vate convcyances continually occurring thro' :
out the year from every part of the State to
Richmond, Gparticularly by the Members of the
Legislature and the Sheriffs) and the facility
afforded by the mails which pass through every
neighbourhoOd at least once fortnight, will
leave those disposed to make remittances, no
excuse for not doing so.-No subscription will
hereafter be taken for less than six months,
nor will the paper be discontinued till all ar

Mr.. Chaiyman--Withina short time,
have travelled over New England, and from
its extremity to the river Ocmulgee, which
separates the land owned by the L. States,
from that which is owned by the southern
Indians. i am well acquainted with the
people OF New England, and can assure you,
that, Notwithstanding the reports that may
have been tossed from one southern state to
another, by the enemies of the government,
relative TO the people who inhabit the FIVE
New England states, l will plcdga myself,
that a majority are in favor of the existing
government. and at the cali Of their coun-
try, would cheerfully come forward to sup
port the present administration, and oier
their lives sacrifice upon the altar OF JUS
tlce, with a. much devotion as ever the
Priests OF Aaron offered to the God Of Israel
turtle dove.
Be assured, mr.. Chairman, that should
the affairs of our nation arrive at this acme it
will be seen that the spirit which actuated
The Patriots who fought at Bunker's Hill, is
now extant in New England: then shall it
appear, that this splri, did not fall with
those who fell, nor does it sleep with those
who now sleep, under the monument erect
ed to their memory.
Perhaps some may say, why do YOU, be-
ing minister of the gospel, NEEDLE with po-
.itical atfairss l answer; because !, as a
minister OF the gospel, enjoy the benefits of
our excellent republic; and wish these be-

come forward in support of its honor? !
wish 1t tn he known, that while some de-
signing ministers disgrace the sacred desk
by scanda!ising and opposing the measures
OF government, there are others who can
visit their closets and invoke the benediction
of Heaven upon the American arms, be-
cause we think the American cause is lust
