Of party purposes. They have, therefore
no higher authority and no stronger claim

may tend to the promotion of the publ;

everything in NIL Of them which involves
detriment or disaster to the country.
Its first great aim is to become u Reli.
able MISUNDERSTANDING promptly and
everything OF public interest concerning
all parties and all public men, neither
distorting nor exaggerating facts for the
benefit or injury Of any, but rendering
exact Justice to all alike. IL does not
profess neutrality upon any political issue
still less, indifference to any great politi-
cal movement, but while il will discuss
everything connected with public affairs
with perfect freedom and with whatever
ability it can command, it will do this
not interest, for the benefit, or under the
control Of any public man or any political
party, but solely in the interest Of Truth
and Justice, and for the promotion Of the
welfare of the whole country. While upon
Gus and entirely independent, it will deal
argument rather than invective, in the Ian
guage Of persuasion rather than menace,
and will strive:to allay, by all fair just ap-
peals, rather than to increase by indamitory
COUNCILS, the sectional agitation which dis
turbs the peace and threatens the welfare
Of the Federal Union. 1t vii! insist always
upon faithful adherence to the Constitu-
tion, respect for the judicial authorities of
the nation, and a strict compliance with the
duties and obligations which devolse upon
the citizens Of n common country.
Upon the subject of Slavery, while it will
never seek occasion for tbrusting it ppon
public attention, it will not shrink from its
discussion whenever it shall be brought
prominently before the country ard made
the theme Of public controversy but it will
treat it US Il local institution, the creature Of
local law, and subject to the exclusive SUPER
vision and control of the communities in
which it exists. The TINES will resist every
attempt, and will denouncs every PROPOSE
ton to wage war upon it frop without, or
to excite fears, wound the pride and arouse
the resentments of those States which may
be disposed or obliged to permit its contin-
ued existence. But it will oppose every en-
deavor to extend it into regions now free
from its influence, to reopen Inc Slave-trade
with Africa, to impose the laws and the
principles On which it rests upon other
States, and to exact for it an undue share Of
influence and power in the Councils of the
Copfederacv. 1t will press apon all sections
upon the South and upon the Nor,h-the
full discharge Of their duties under the Con-
stitution, and will rebuke and resist every
attempt on the. part of ultraists, in either
section, to promote their own views and oh
jects at the expense of justice and the pub
lie good.
The Times will discuss all topics of gene
raj interest, in every department. of public
action, and always in the interest Of Order,
the Public Peace aud general prosperity Of
the community. Its influence will be uni
formly conservative, without neslecting any
just and safe means of socia! or political
Progress. Is will seek to promote the pub
lie welfare by urging the claims of Educa-
ton, Morality and Religion npon the masses
of the people, and in all it's discussions II
will endeavor constantly to be guided and
controlled by the spirit of Moderation, Pat.
riotism ond Common Sense. 1t seeks the
confidence and respect of rejecting men Of
all parties, but makes no appeal to those
with whom party success is the first motive
of action, and the peace and welfare of the
country the last. ze f.a,5 g-a.z
In its correspondence, both Foreign and
Domestic, the Times will not be inferior to
any other American Journal. Its reports
of Congressional and Legislative Proceed
ings, of Financial, Commercial and General
Intelligence, Of important Legal and Grim
inal trials, and OF whatever may have spe-
cial interest for the great body Of the com
munity, will be full, prompt and reliable.
