Besides articles from regular Contributors, the Pub

country. To This end, we will avoid the re-publica-
fipun IF HING ilp thp trash M
the mammoth sheets forced to print, merely to fill
up in time. Such matter is untitled for the family
circle and therefore, has business in family paper
Our aim is to do good, not harm !
In order to render the 'Visiter appropriate for
natives Of Baltimore, and others desiring to take
paper containing the city news we shall constantly
keep eye to about town." and shall do what
the daily prints cannot accomplish, viz: give full
record of all hymenia and obituary news.
