ALEXANDRIA, I'd. c.
TUESDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER & ~.

we hope to see season at least Of comp,,,,,
calm and quietness. The Nation has been O,,
enough distracted with intestine commo,ioD -
civil Lroils. 1t requires rest and cessation r.,
the toll Of such contests. During their eouti,,
ance, bad passions are engendsred, jealousie, >,
cited, and bitter feelings produced, which dom
disappear as long as there is the least Occ,s,
for their continuance. Our public men brcs,,
alienated from each other: our people bs,OB,
partizans. ro bring about even short pIlt,
millennium, the press must exert its powerful 4
forts. II should turn its attention more 10 ir,,
ture-to science-to the improvement Of +.
condition Of man, his mind. his morals, hi, M,
ners-to the "fair, delightful plans of peace
To carry out this into practice, we by no ne,,
wish TO urge that great principles should be ,iq
ed-that their discussion should be sOpnt.
that errors in government should be passed b
unnotced-that bad men should be suffered,
I" lord it over" their fellow -citizeus, Ui;hoc,
ing exposed and brought before the bar Of ps!
opinion;-or, that good men, oppressed b, rc--
should not be indicated and supported ",
think none Of this. The press, while /, is la
tinel upon the watch.towers Of Liberty, r.s
continue to be faithful and fearless. Il uY
=. cry aloud and spare not" where there is ga
sion for it to lift its warning voice. But.
wish to see it cease to be factions S,u |
ing and unprincipIed. Let it take side, vi.
caImness and dscency. Let it discuss piia
with fairness and moderation. Let it eas
be, in any instance, a PARTY ENGINE, ui4i
work to suit exactly the movements Of lhas4
Oh whose bounty it exists, or upon whose bNI
it hopes to exist. This done, we may eIpcai
find the good effects resulting, not only 10 lsr
provement Of the press, but in the impo"ua
of the social aud political condition Of lhsrI
pie.
