is the session which will develope the general plan

brought with it considerable accession of talents.
Several tried and distinguished members oflle dem

to our benefit; and we hope 10 enlist others in our

the editor intends 10 call other talents 10 his assis-

respondence which he is attempting TO establish in
foreign countries, paper may be published which
is not unworthy Of the support Of his country. In
undertaking the task, he knew he had many difficult
Ties come, many lessons to learn, many sacri-
fees 10 encouater. He knew that, amid the arduous
cares of "A new theatre, he could not at al first do
Justice even himself; but his zeal has never flag
ged. What enthusiasm and industry can effect, will
be fully accomplished. Some errors he may have
already committed. But upon one point, he can
speak with great pleasure and with equal freedom.
The men who administering this government are
working men, anxious, MS he believes, to do their
duty, to their country, 10 carry out the pledges
under which the President elected and the great
principles of the party. So long the adminstra-
ton is conducted in this spirit, and upon those prn
cpes, he is prepared TO cooperate with them in the
public service; and to give them. as he promised
in his prospectus ga fair, liberal and efficient sup
port"
We feel deep sense of gratitude for the prompt
manner in which our political friends, in every Sec
ton Of the country, have already come forward TO
sustain the 'Union. May not hope that our friends
throughout the United States will continue to assist
labors, and prevail upon their friends to take
some edition Of the Unlon."
