sition OF American ideas, and az patriotic and con-
sentative document The Newark Mercury and the
Sussex Rfgisfr, papers which have been dstin-
guished for their earnest and consistent opposition
10 the monopoly, express their entire accordance
and approval o the sentiments av0wed IN the letter,
and very properly leave out Of view Commodore
Stockions connection with the joint companies.

pod into national politics, except at the risk Of ut
