tizan intrest. or by DESIRE from selfish motives
| to please t e greatest number of readers. Those
which are not controlled by some religious sect
or political par y, or other society Of exclusives
are decidedly ofthe popular class, and will defend
no cause, however good, if it be unflvorably re-
oarded by the mass nor publish the honest onin-
IONS ofany individual, ifthey be oppoed to the
general sentiment. Hence, the Periodicals of the
day do not maintain an unreserved allerianee to
Truth on the t. iumph of which depends the great
est good of the human family. The Cause of
Truth demands Journals devoted to her interests
through whose pages the thoughts of every candid
mind CAN be brought oefore the public and tho
