Duty compels me to tender my cordial ackncw-
Judgements to all and singular my friends, for the
kind notice which they have taken Of some Of the
patrons Of this paper, because, am happy to say,
it has increased the subscription list. freely par
don their omission Of the names of my old patrons,
living in New Castle, Kent, and Sussex, as the very
mention Of quarter Of them would have destroy

article, now days. ask of them, as very par

give my friends any good reason to hope that this
will be mere temporary establishment. AS this
is matter depending altogether on the patrons Of
this paper, the good people Of Delaware will do just
as they please on this subject having the right
to consult their own tastes, in this particular, as
they had in calling the Journal into existence.
Knowing that my friends are somewhat inquis'-
tive on this point, hope they will be fully satisfied
with this state Of the natter it being the best that
am enabled, at present, to give.

Will they adhere to men whose principles huctuate
