TIE HERALDoF TRUTH.

The Journals of the day may be divided into
three classes-the Sectarian, the Partizan and
the Popular Ofthe fifteen hundred serial pub
Iications in our land, know of but two or three
which pretend to devoted to the cause of Truth
on all subjects, unrestraind by sectarian or par
tizan intrest, or by desire, from selfish motives
to please TIE greatest number of readers. Those
which are not controlled by some religious sect
or political party, or other society of exclusives
are decidedly of the popular class and will defend
no cause, however good, if it be unfavorably re-
g,rded by the mass; nor publish the honest opin-
ions ofany individual, ifthey be oppoed to the
general sentiment. Hence the Periodicals Of the
day, do not maintain an unreserved allegiance to
Truth, on the triumph Of which depends the great
est gcol of the human family. The Cause OF
Truth demands Journals devoted to her interests
through whose pages the thoughts ofevery candid
mind can be brought before the public and tho
roughly canvassed.
To supply, in part, this desideratum, is the
HERALD OF TRUTH projected. 1t will be emphat-
ically what its name purports,a a Herald of Truth
en- all subjects without reference to the interest OF
any exclusive Sect, Party, or Society, OF to pop
ular considerations.
1t will be devoted to- the interests of Religion,
Philosophy, Literature, Science and Art. 1t will
review such of the new publications as are OF sub-
stantial value, and canvass all questionable doc
trines that may be published. Philosophers have
demonstrated the infinite Wisdom and boundless
Benevolence of God in contemplating His Phys
ical Universe, and it is time the same demostra-
tion were made in relation to the Mental World.
In the former, the sublimest Order is manifest,
while in the latter, the debasement and miseIies
that af1ict mankind, indicate the deepest confu-
sion and disorder He is not responsible for the
evils of the Mental Universe, for man originated
them, and by man they can and will be removed.
The discussion of the laws of our mental and
physical org mutations and the necessity of obedi-
ence to them, as the only mode of hum IN regen-
Grafton will constitute particular feature ofthe
Herald of Truth. -
1t will engage vigorously in all the Reforms of
the day which are founded in Truth, and it will
'shope all things and ''believe all things" for
the final triumph of Humanity over all evil, the
only limit to its aspiration will be the entire
demption of the Human Race.
