For this reason the Arstidean will not b. bound to mere names.
 The politics of the Aristideanis Democratic-alter thc strictest preceps of the Jedersonan school.

 II consequently opposes partial education, partial legislation, and special legIslatlon and susains the Constitution il is with strict construction of it. provisions.
 It is strictly American in its tone and feelings hough not bigoed nor exclusive.
 In short, it labors to be JUST.
 The Aristidean appears simultaneously in Nev York and Philadelphia, on the iirst of every month Each nnlnber contains eighty large octave pages printed on very iae white paper, with new type, o long primer and breVier size; and the text IS illus trated by en5rayings on wood, from original design by Dafey.
