Of the rights OF American citizens. Right

After this explicit avowal Of both the
objects contemplated and the course 10 be
pursued, little more is necessary to be sod
save the fact that the paper is dependent
on public support for its existence;
and that it will be the duty Of every Can.

by increasing its circulation, enable 10
proprietors to continue the good fghtn

from the hardy sons of the Green houp
