number To this subject the attention OF every poll
tiean in the country Is invited as one of paramount
importance and which, nevertheless, Is too Oftef
slightly regarded in advance Of positive action.
/ While the Review will be radically democratic, u
will also be independent and will allow no slavisf
fear of OFFENDING nominal friends to prevent bold
and manly advocacy Of truth end rigid and unspa

true exponent Of the democracy Of the Union, but \
