of day when criroline began to grow
expansive in view Of the approaching
church hour and when bulkhead Z" bel

glisten in the sun, carriage might have

Broad Street to the National Hotel. A

NEW VOLUME.

The Journal enters upon its tenth vol
umc today, and upon the ninth year Of
Its existence. For while the paper
was published semi-weekly, which ac-
accounts for their being one more vol
pms than years republication.
In beginning the new volume it at
fords satisfaction to state that the pa
tronage of the past enables the proprie.
tors Of the .Ioxrnal to tender hereafter to
advertising patrons their columns at
much reduced rates. As wages and
prices Of living decrease the rates Of ad
vsrtising should keep pace accordingly.
While, however. the proprietors would
bring tie use Of their columns to price
that the business Of every citizen will
justify paying, they design sparing no
expense ON that account to keep the
Journal at high standard as news
paper aud as the conservater of truth,
moral and political. As heretofore this
paper, will be the fearless e1poser of
wrong, and defender Of what its con-
ductors deem right and polite,
Belonging to no party, no sect, nor
clique, we can and will act independent
of dictation from whatever source it may
come. In politics We will speak, as we
have done in the past. our own senti-
ments. Yet onr opponents will find ouI
columns open to correct any miscon cep
aion into which we may, and are liable
TO fall.
Having thus, once more. stated our
position aud intentions, we enter upon
the new volume with confidence and
hope inspired by the results of past
intercourse with patrons and the public.
