Iii &C .ordance with that time-hon-
ored. custom, we will on this, our first

aud the course we desire TO pursue.
As a conductor Of a party Journal, it
will be expected as a matter Of course
that VIC will appropriate a due portion.
of our columns 10 the exposition aud
maintenance Of The political principles
held by the riy to which We belong.
For 4 more fulI and complete exhibI.

mocracB we will 1t the same time
ehdeavor 10 40 SO with due decorum
md courtesy towards those who differ
from us in political $ ntIment. 1t will
be our earnest desire, as far as in us
lies 70 soften the aSperities Of political
warfare, BY manifesting a c~onciliatory
tone, and ~evinclng a proper respect for
for the feelings and opinions Of those
who honestly entertain views different
from ourselves. But we wish not to
be misunderstood. We shall always
claim for ourselves the right of com.
menting on public men and public
measures with The freedom and inde-
pendencethat should always charac-
ierize the public journalist.
With our hrethern Of the editorial
corps we desire to preserve the most
friendly relations, believing hatth low
personality and course scurihty, TOO
often indulged in by the press, have
done much 10 degrade lis character
and impair its usefulness.
But wewiIl not be precluded from the
right Of self defence, if The prophecies
md amenities due from one journal 10

by our contemporaries.
In entering ona theatreso entirely

will make due allowance for onr mex.

ing ourselves that mo effort will be
spared on our part, ID make the "MAD-
