or censl,re the men and measures of all parties
and to do even handed justice to all, regardless OF
then political associations. He will wear no party
letters, but at the same time will never conceal his
preference and predictions.

ton Of Messrs. Pierce ard King, believing them
to be "honest, competent, and faithful TO the Con-
stituton''-to be good Union, Compromise men
occupying good Union, Compromise platform,
Sustained by the conservatives OF the North and
richly deserving the support of all parties at the
South

the present Chief Magistrate ofGeorgia, believing
tina his past acts, his present administration and
his devotion to the Union, entite him TO thu parise
Of the wise and good, and will yet win for him
the confidence of the nation.
The undersigned deems il unnecessary to say
more. He is not unknown TO the people of Geor-
ga with whom he has held editorial intercourse,
and for whose kind and liberal patronage, hereto
fore bestowed, he is profoundly thankful. He
has established the Courier upon permanent basis,
and Is resolved to make il worthy Of popular sup
port. The arrangements for local and foreign
news are ample, and will be extended to meet the
utmost demands of the public. The first number
will be issued on the 26th inst, or as soon there
