Political nformston will be given in the most
accurate and impartial form, for which purpose The
best sources will be resortsd to. Although the E.

arise involving the public interest he il opt to
form an opinion from the ''lights before him, and

ments in relation to all public matters. Toavoid

lsus support or the unreasonable opposition u the
