Depoted to C1y Affairs, Education, Lstsraurs,
and General InfeHfgencs
NNHE Ninth Volume Of this Paper being
II about TO be commenced, the proprietor and
editor after making his grateful acknowledge anents
for the steady support which he has received dur
ing the last eight years, respectfully solhils a
continuance of the same and such addsffond sup-
per as will enable him 10 continue his paper as
an independent journal, and in the support OF
those conservative and constitutional prrtipes
which were involved in the late municipal cleo
ton and which il is hjs fixed purpose to mahtain,
so long as he is connected with this or anyother
public journal. On his future eonrse the tdror
deems il unnecessary to dilate. Suffice il ID say,
that while the original plan of his paper vllI be
duly carried out, the editor will also feel himself
bound by the convictions Of duty and propri,ty, to
maintain the constitutional rights OF every faiivc
and adopted citizen and 10 oppose every iecret
organization that is founded on a proscriptiw and
exclusive basis. What he intends TO do il this
respect may be Judged OF by what he has alleady
written and published in the columns Of thislour-
nal. To his friends, and the friends of civil and
religious liberty he respectfully appeals orade.

Sir: A series Of experiments conducted by me-
with the utmost care during the past three years,
upon all the various paints and artificial prepara
tons for the preservation of timber, have led me
10 the important discovery that the White Zine
Paint, manufactured by the New Jersey Zinc Com
pany, serves as a perfect protection against the
ravages of the marine worm, and the formation Of
barnacles whilst no other paint or preparation Of
any kind combines the same protective effect.
am now preparing full report on this impor.
subject TO the Bureaus OF Yards and DOCKS, al
Washington and shall send with il complete Sc
ries of specimens of wood and metal plates, which
were covered with the different paints and pre-
parations and then exposed alike for an entire
season. in salt water opposite this navy yard all
of which illustrates, in the most striking manner,
the invaluable qualities and decided superiority OF
your White Zinc Paint over all other kinds
paints, especially for marine purposes.
You are at liberty TO give full publicity to the
above stated facts, which are of too much impor-
tance to be kept from the naval and commercial
world. am, respectfully your obedient servant,
