Iity ?" To propose, to meet, TO discuss,
and in some sort, to settle this question,
this paper is started. With such objects
before it, what black man, what friend OF
the outraged Negro race, will hesitate to
accord to it, its needed share of support ?
hope that all who read this Journal,
and who reflect upon the objects to which
it is devoted, will see, that the questions
we discuss, involve the Honor of the coun-
try as much as the prospects of the Blacks.
For if Republican Institutions are to be
despised, if Profession and Principle are
to be, in America, two distinct, not only,
but antagonistic entities if hypocrisy is
always to be written in legible characters,
upon the figure head of American Dem
ocracy; if complete, unchecked, eternal
supremacy, is to be given to the Despot-
ism now controlling this question, then,
not upon the Blacks, will descend the in
dignant scorn Of an on-looking world: the
well earned infamy Of a practical aflilia-
ton with Alexanders, Napoleons, Meter
nichs, and Haynaus, of the Old World, will
not settle like clouds of blackness upon
the oppressed but upon the oppressors
shall this deep and dreadful disgrace de-
scend, by the award Of the universal YER

fol- complimentary notices of our project, and for

at first stated to be practical difficulty in
the way of this invention has been overcome
and we can therefore state, with entire con-

economy may be added its capacity to pro-
duce power, and consequently speed to any
extent attained by steam. To secure that
object, no invention is required The con,
structor has but to increase the area of the
cylinders, and it is accomplished.
We congratulate the world upon the in
