TO OUR FRIENDS AND THE PUBLIC.


Yesterday we proclaimed our liked purpose
with Gods blessing) to continue tins paper
while our life is spared and now It becomes
us to acknowledge the kindness shown towards
Us by the citizens This we do heartily, lof
we feel truly indebted to them Tor It, ana IN
return shall strive to make the Fountain all
that its most sanguine supporters nave desired
il 10 be. We may have occasionally complain
ed of others; perhaps we have some cause TO
complain of ourseves and here we would
saw. that we have been led into some mistakes
since we undertook the publication OF the pa
per-, We have. on several occasions, admitted
articles from our correspondents without read
inc them, owing to our confidence in the per
sons who communicated them. We have al
forwards discovered our mistake In not giving
them an examination. This has not been done,
however, twice with the same person.
In the @City Affairs of yesterday we in
serted an item from kind friend (who would
not willingly do wrons) in relation 10 the
clerks, which, if we had examined. would no,
have been admitted. This is only one instance.
There have been other items recently which we
ought not TO have inserted, unless IN different
form from that in which they appeared. With
our own pen we are sure no unkind word, IN
reference to any one, has ever been published.
We disdain every thing low or personally Of
fensive, and are deceived if we are capable of
pursuing course ot. .unfairness we would
not willingly offend any person, class, or COM
munity unless the truth, presented in kind
and respectful terms, should offend.
Hereafter, no article shall be printed until
carefully examined this, we hope, will atone
for our past conduct !; and we now ask our
friends to watch US closely, and, if any depar-
ture from propriety should take place, let us
be Kindly Informed, and we will do justice 10
