the above preamble and resolutions have determined
TO resume the publication of our paper and to tarry
vet a while longer at post. The arrangement has
been made amid many difficulties, and under pressure
of adverse circumstances He who, for ten years. has
turned the machinery of our press could not be prevailed
upon to remain. Another of our principal workmen
was of like mind The two in the ranks OF the
Claremont Troop. The labor imposed upon those who
remain is heavy. stern sense OF duty expressed
by the people, has alone induced to revoke decis
ion We long to minge with the teeming thousands OF
invincibIe Caronans who rushing to edeence
of their native soil. We again call upon people to
fy to arms-tO arouse themselves to full reality of the
condition of the country and to the duty which presses
upon them. Let the watchword be sour counry! "our
country ~ "our country frst forever" Let sefhness
let personal comfort let sefaggrandsement, be lost and
swallowed up in our efforts &c wrest "our country from
the grasp of its vile enemies.
Our contemporaries of the press will confer favor
upon us By noticing this change, and by continuing
send us their papers in exchange
