The undersigned embraces the present opportu
nifty of convey ing to his friends and the public, his
sincere acknowledgements for the very liberal
patronage which they continue to extend to the
State Capitol Gazette; and in his future course
he shall use every endeayor to merit their approval
of which he has the best evidence in their generous
support of the paper. The approaching session of
the Legislature will be one Of deep interest and i'm
portance to the people of Pennsylvania. The elec.
ton of a State Treasurer, and United States Sena-
tor and the adoption of an Apportionment Bill, are
among the important acts to be performed by the
Legislature; and they will engross much feeling and
delibeIaton. With the hope of Increasing the USE
fulness Of our paper, we have made ample arrange
ments well for reporting the proceedings of both
branches, for presenting them to our readers at
the earliest possible period. We have engaged the
most competent Reporters, and our publication will
embrace full details of what may transpre in either
branch during the session. In many instances we
shall give full report of the debates, and in every
instance we shall produce such synopsis Of the
discussions as will convey 10 the constituent the
course and zeal of his representative. In addition
to this, we have employed an able and attentive
| correspondent at the seat Of general government;
and our readers may anticipate, not only the ear
liest Congressional intelligence, but also the ear
liest and most correct information in regard to the
dongs Of the administration, and the plans and
operations upon the political chess-board.
|, may be well enough to reterate, what we
stated on assuming the sole ownership and control
of this paper, that lis political character will remain
unchanged. We were educated in the school of
Jeffcrsonian democracy-we have always zealously
contended for the prnclpleswe then imoibed, and
under the broad banner of equal rights shall be
found rallyng faithfully defending beloved doc
trines and eur hallowed institutions. As an organ
of the democratic party, we shall exert every zesl
and ability to maintain its usages and principles and
secure the success Of its candidates. Asa sentinel
upon freepoms watch-tower we shall always be
found vigant and energetic in guarding the rights
and liberties Of the people; and journalist, oar
columns will contain that quantity and quality Of
intelligence which cannot fail to please and instruct
the general reader.
With these proffers of enterprise and declara-
ton Of principles, and with renewed assurances Of
gratefulnsss for the liberal support extended to
us. we pledge our jealous eYertions to deserve a
continuance ofthe patronage of enlightened
public.
