been united, since the eyes OF the nation were
opened by the monstrous measures urged on

who is again presented to the nation as an ex-

of the artful and interested few We do not

r result Of the November election as another
n great triumph of the cause of democracy in
a. in this country. To promote this result, we
revive the publication of our cheap periodi-
" cal paper And to increase its efficacy, We
l. propose to publish it twice instead of osc ca
0, week, at the same price as formerly. We
h propose, too, to add to its strength by indu-
$, eng the ablest and wisest, and best men Of
e our country to contribute TO its columns -
e Our whole heart and mind, from the first hour
r. of its appearance, shall be de, oted to give it
l. interest and usefulness, and with Gods bless.
t. ing, we trust it will render some service to
our country.
