1t was indeed SO. They will
at least discover that others see with diff
feren. eyes and feel with different nerves
from theirs, aud that if an editor would
60 round inquiring what will please
this reader and what will displease that,
he will soon find his hands full We
can, therefore only promise to exercise
the best Of our judgment and con-
science in apportioning out such truth
as comes to hand, ready always to be ad-
|vised by the friends of any enterprise in
which we engage.
Whoever may think that the volume of
matter has been scanty, few, probably, will
complain that in respect to principle it
has been fearful or compromising. We
/ have all the while acted under the belief
that smaller amount of current, high
toned, gospel truth is worth more than
larger quantity Of what every body grants
and nobody cares any thing about. This
has been a governing principle of action
in relation to all subjects treated Of
While on the subject of temperance,
we wish to call attention for a moment
to one or two startling facts. 1t is est,
mated in the New-York Spectator that in
\ that city one hundred thousand bushels OF
grain are manufactured into whskey
monthly. Twelve hundred thousand
, bushels of grain. annually in the city OF
, New-York, instead Of being made into
bread, isconverted into destructive poison
The enormity of this sin is enhanced by
1.-THE consideration that this atrocious bust
ness hel ps to increase the price of bread
T. which is already almost beyond the reach
of large class Of the poor. What are
. these men who are in this diabolic worl
n made Off Are their eyes blinded agains
v the waste and havoc they are making 0
= human felicity? Are their ears deaf t
: the waiIings of those they are bringing t
beggary aud starvation? Are their heart
petri6ed! Do they forget the woes tina
are pronounced against the robbers of tn
poor! Do they remember that there
to be an end to this ungodly gain, and
/. final seckoning2 AS the Lord Almight
p is just and true, that reckoning will be te
N rible. 1t had been better for such me
e not to have been born, unless they roper
s. speedily and avert the penalty which tn
tof Most High has written against the
e. tgrievous, their most heinous sins. l.
id i not be supposed that the manufacture
re are the only sinners in this matter. Tho:
who encourage them by Withholding II
IN bread from the poor and selling it to then
&c Tor by purchasing the poison OF them, a,
as partners in the horri(ying crime, ar
I'D must be sharers in the condign penalty
How long shall this monster devourl
