Lord willing, to commence on the first Monday in

for the discussion Of al subjects pertaining to Chris

present such articles of literary character, original

taste and elevate the sentiment Of the reading pub
lie. Politics also, considered as a science, and as
affecting the, principles Of Law and Government,
and more especially the mighty movements OF the
nations as they work out the designs Of God will
claim due and proper attention. But Politics de-
graded to the squabbles of demagogues and factions,
will be utterly eschewed and repudiated.
As respects matters purely religious, we shall, of
course nd yocate the principles Of the Baptist Com
munity, MS derived from the Scriptures and repub-
l,h from standard aud other respectable works, ar
ticles pertaining to our own Literature; but our
columns will be
