editor, after making his grateful acknowledges nts
for the steady support which he has received dn'-
ing the last eight years, respectfully solicits 4
continuance of the same and such additional snp-
port as will enable him 10 continue his paper, as
an independent Journal, and in the support OF
those conservative and constitutional principles
which were involved in the late municipal cleo

so long as he is connected with this or any other
public Journal. On his future course the editor
deems it unnecessary TO dilate Suffice il to say,
that while the original plan of his paper will be

religious liberty, he respectfully appeals for ade-
quate encouragement.

NJ, pagne.-The subscribers having been ap-
upoited by Messrs. Heldseck & Co. TO succeed
Mr.. Charles Enger, heretofore sole agent in the
in the United States for the sale OF their Wines,
who this day retires from business, respectfully
call the attention of the public to the subJoined
card.
The Messrs. Heidsleck u Co., as set forth there
in Justly claim TO be alone enabled TO send TO this
country the genuine Heidsieck & Co. Champagne,
under the same name and style as originally intro
duced into this market, now nearly thirty years
ago. they being sole proprietors of all the identical
vineyards, cellars, &C., which the founders and
orginators of this celebrated brand had owned.
Such being the fact, we need not dwell upon the
superior.quality of their Wines, the reputation OF
the same among the American public being already
identified with unsurpassed excellence.
We beg particularly to notice that their brand
still bears the same name of Heidsieck & Co., in
full, by which it first became so favorably known,
being thereby easily distinguished from other SINH
lar marks which have since appeared.

who had the sole charge of its liquidation, con-
tinued the business, retaining exclusive possession
of the vineyards, vaults, &C., which the origina
partnership had enjoyed.
Our new firm are his immediate successors and
sole propretors ofths well-known brand.
I In order to distinguish the same from limitations
