Of TIE CALEpoNIAN, being eighteen
months since its publication was undertaken
by the present Propretors. During that time
its success has been such as to encourage
them 70 believe that their labors have been
not altogether unacceptable to the public.
The enterprise was somewhat hazardous
one, inasmuch as the conductors had neither
age nor capital on which to rely. But every
year adds to the one, and numerous body of
debtors will, We trust, partially remove the
disadvantages of the other. The last year
has witnessed, in this County, the rise and
abatement of a sectional feeling which has
embarrassed US not little, aiming as We did
to be Just to all parties, and at the same
time, like independent men, advocating what
we thought to be the better cause We are
happy, therefore, to announce that the THE
CALEDoNIAN now stands on better footing
than year ago. and that it rcjoices at the
prospect Of unbroken harmony, as between
section and section, hereafter.
