Opposition press in this City who never in the
whole course of has life attempted to raise the wind
by any other Than the fresi and most direct means;
who was never 'ihe gentleman of the seven prin-
ciples, two oayes and five fishes" has uumped IN
an isnation against It's, for The purpose of slra-

AMI speak our mind openly to all parties
concerned. Eighteen years ago. the Editor of this
paper told The Legislature in official letter. That

and free us the air which breathe" Such is the
spirit in which the Enquirer has been conduct
ed-and such is the spirit which it still car
ries on with it. The Editor has never sacrificed
his principles for Office; and lie never will
lie IL as free as the members of the Laaisla-
ture are.-lic is perfectly prepared for either
