in what its conductors have felt to be the cause Of
Humanity, Justice and Freedom, endeayering to
melorate the condition of the oppressed and
nate TO honor and encourage useful exeraon in
ever sphere, and to promote by all means the moral
Intellectual and material advancement of coun-
try. 1t has aimed to be right rather than popular,
and to espouse and commend to-day the truth that
others may net be willing TO accept IN tomorrow
made and faults committed; but, having in aNtAings
melted readers think and Judge for themselves
sions believe may fairly claim for this journal
the credit Of having qualified Its readers to detect
