II Is now more than eighteen years
since We commenced our establishment
At tl,i. place. during " hieh time we have
had MANY difficulties 10 encounter. lie
storms Of political strife engender many
pr, iudices which il is sometimes vain 10
a,,eun, 10 allay; and the zeal Of popular
enthusiasm creates preferences which
vi n nothing to houesty Of purpose.
These things tend greatly 10 dcrTess =

Which depends almost solely on The pa
irouace OF the county in Which u IS pub

peri entirely 10 escape their influence.
Tut We have lad more potent adverse
ries Than these. IL is said Of the church
of Rome, that she " ilhholis the Bible
from the common people. that they may
not, through ignorance OF the true mean-
ing. be led into heTesics: the priests only
are to read and interpret for them. 80 II
is with some Of our stlf.styled Republic
cans: they are afraid 10 trust the people,
and il il was in their power. they would
entirely prohibit tie circulation OF all pa
pers which do not perfectly squsrc with
their notions. Not able to contend open
ly lar their doctrines, they would sup
] press al inquiry. Aud this is the spirit
which has been operating far several
wears to undermine the circulation Of the
Recorder, aud if possible to break up the
establishment. Al one time this was se'
| nv nigh being accomplished; We were re-
duced almost TO The last extremity; the
star uf our hope had sunk almost TO tho
very horizon. But amid all tins dark

ness Of the integrity Of eur purpose ana

10 these OF our friends who cc;ncit'
