The Sentinel will support the principles Of the
Democratic party, as illustrated by Jefferson,
/ jackson and Polk. Il will not, in lis discussion
ofhem. 60 to the extremes of partizan bitterness,
resorted to by those who mistake abuse and vli6-
cation for argument, but confne itself to their firm
but decent advocacy; disnbusing TO the best of its
abiity.the minds Of its readers, 0f the false inn

rived from the public printing, an important item in
the support OF country papersare entirely, or near
ty fo,egoyedh by the opposition press. The Sentine
has TO depend therefore, for the pre- sent, upon The
generosity ofts political friends for support, and
il they would enableit to fill the measure Of theil
ambition in regard to- its conduct and appearance
hey must extend to il liberal assistance. We have
bowed, in the above, that we intend to give itI
'atrons the worth Of their money, and no eifor
will be spared to fulfil that pied GO; and we mos
earnestly request, that those who have the interest
of their press mt heart, viii not at this time, be
found wanting in the most essential qualification
oaid It--liberIlity.
We have the satisfaction OF stating that in Il Il
probability. the present Congress will restore
newspapers the privilege ofa free circulation with
in thirty miles of tho places Oftbeir publication.
