The examiner. [volume] (Louisville, Ky.) 1847-1849, 1848-06-17

One year since, amid the conflict of doubt and
hope, we began the publication of the Examin-
er in this city. Whatever hostility was mani
we are glad TO say, long since subsidized, and We
now stand on the threshold OF second year
with increased confidence in the success of the
glorious cause with which we are associated.
There is a bright future before US, and we in
tend approaching it with fmneSs, fully alive TO
all lis serious responsibilities, and resolved ON
an earnest and conscientious discharge Of the
duties which may devOlye on us. In order 10 an
efficient maintenance of the cause, so far as its
responsibilities rest with Us, we have made AZ
Tangements which will secure TO the volume we
commence to-day, much greater amount Of
ability, than marked our journal dunng the year
that is nowpast We intend deyoting ourselves
with eamestness and fidelity To the interesting
and important Trust that has been committed to
our hands, expecting but very slight reward for
our exertiOns beyond the appreciation of good
men and our own conseiences.
We have fnenes, and numerous friends in
Kentucky and elsewhere, who are deeply con-
cemed for the success Of our paper. Were we
10 publish all that has been communicated 10 US
by letter and otherwise, from distinguished
friends here and in other States, approving and
eulOgiSing our course, We should bnng together
mas Of testimony in favor of the conduct and
efficiency Of the Examiner, such as has rarely
We think been Published in favor Of any like
enterprise. With such marked appreciation Of
what has been done, We feel strongly encouraged
to labor fndustnoUsiy IN the field before US, and
our friends may Telyon tks promise we now give
them, that If we do not succeed in our enter
prise, II viii not be because Of any want of in
chnstOR and determination on our pan TO merit
the most signal success.
Mach beside our own devotion TO, and efforts
IN the cause, is necessary TO the success Of our
undertaking. We must have assistance. Our
friends and well-wishers must cooperate with
us Our subscription list must be increased
Indeed, our circulation ought 10 be doubled
forthwith, TO sustain the paper, and TO afford
even very moderate compensation 10 those whose
labOrs are necessary to its existence. Under this
view We appeal, and appeal most earnestly to
every one who reads this 10 exert himselfa little
towards the success Of the Examiner Without
such assstsnce-unless our friends renew their
subscriptions and exert themselves, and bring 70
the number Of our subscribers large accession
10 those whose names are now on our books
we shall not only be uEremunerated for our time
and labor, but may be forced to abandon our en-
terPrise after having sumounted the difficulties
that beset us year ago. The prospect before
us is cheering in regard TO the future success Of
our cause in this State, and we believe the Ex-
amiRer will continue 10 be, if supported, highly
instrumental in bringing about Emancipation.
We have reasons in abundance 10 suppose that
we have already achieved much good, by con-
vincing those who were arrsyed against US, and
by encouraging Others to cooperate with us in
the diffusion Of anti-slavery sentiment through
out the State. Do our friends wish 10 see the
Examiner languish for awhile and .k-. -s-h
below the hOrizOn7 II not, let them bestir them
selves, for we can assure them that, without
their assistance, we can hardly hope TO succeed
in sustaining our paper.
Let every one who wishes to DO something for
the promotion Of the cause in which we are en-
gagged, come promptly TO our assistance. Let
every one constitute himself an agent, and 90
to work in his own section and procure us sub
scribers, and We feel sure that, thus supported
and encouraged, we shall he able to continue
the Examiner, and greatly increase itstficien-
cy, as the only snti-slsvery journal published
south OF the Ohio. Its extinction would be dis
sstrOus to that good cause. Let our friends in.
serest themselves, and avert great disaster.
