PARTY SUBSCRIBERS.

We commence this volume ot the Ga-
zcttc under the most favorable auspices
for Wing principles. About one dozen H..
cofocos, apparently without concert, have
cent in their names with the request thai
we should discontinue sending them the
Gnzct,e. We do 50 with pleasure, rs We
desire no man 10 take our paper unless he
thinks he realizes the worth al his none,
from pcrnsiny lis columns. II there be any
more Locos vino consider the Gazette too
mild an advocate Of Wing principles, we
pray them stop j, ut once, as we intend dn.
ring the present volume, by every honest
arglmen, TO urge the election Of Gen. Toy
lor TO the Presidency. We have been mild
almost to lukewarmness heretofore in aiv"-
eating the principles Of the great Wing
party, Of which We profess TO be an hum
bic member. In doing so we thought 4"
please the mass &c our renders whom We
though, were men caring but little inr p"li-
tics. IF mistaken we rcjoice at our error,
@ in 80 doing we obe.ed MT the impulse OF
our ardent nature. In connection with the
above we would remar., that during the
same time we .,avc received more than II
dozen new subscribers, all Of whom, We be-
licve, are Wings.
