intentions, the efforts, and the hopes, of its sup
porters.
The lNDEPrspKNr PREss-Our friends in
nearly all the States, when they send us new
subscribers, say that they could have forwarded
US many more, but for the claims of the local
Anti.Slavery press While determined to extend
the circulation of the Era, they are equally de-
termined to sustain their own State papers
This is right, There is wide field for US all ;
the People are ready to hear give them the
papers
To those who suppose that the large increase
In our circulation is at the expense of kindred
papers, we commend the notices we have made
this week of new Anti-Slavery papers and of
improvements in those already established.
The record would have been larger if we had
had more room
