THE Ninth Volume Of this Paper being
about to be commenced, the proprietor and
editor after making his grateful acknowledgment
for the steady support which he has received dur
ing the last eight years, respectfully solicits
continuance Of the same and such additional sttp-
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
tion, and which il is his fixed purpose 10 maintain,
so long as he is connected with this or any other
public journal. On his future course the editor
deems il unnecessary 10 dlate. Suffice il to say,
that while the original plan Of his paper Will be
duly carried out, the editor will also feel himself
bound by the convictions Of duty and propriety, TO
maintain the constitutional rights Of every native
and adopted citizen, and 10 oppose every secret
organization that is founded ON proscrptive and
exclusive basis. What he intends TO do in this
respect may be Judged of by what he has already
written and published in the columns Of this jour
nal. To his friends, and the friends of civil and
religious liberty, he respectfully appeals for ade-
quate encouragement.

Mr.. Charles Engler, heretofore sole agent in the

who this day retires from business, respectfully
call the attention of the public TO the subjoined
card.
The Messrs. Heidsleck & Co., as set forth there
in, justly claim 10 be alone enabled TO send to this
country the genuine Heidsieck u Co. Champagne,
under the same name and style as originally intro
duced into this market,s now nearly thirty years
ago. they being sole propretors OF all the Identical
vineyards, cellars, &c, which the founders and
originators 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 il first became SO favotahly 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 proprietors of this well-known brand.
In order TO distinguish the same from limitations
and marks similar to our own, which have ap-
peared and may hereafter appear in this market,
the name Of our firm in full will be found on the
