years, this journal has labored in what its con-
ductors have felt to be the cause of Humanity,
Justice and Freedom, endeavoring to mehorate
the condition of the oppressed and unfortunate,
to honor and encourage useful cxertion In what

to-day the truth that others may not be willing
to accept till tomorrow. In pursuing this
course, mistakes have doubtless been made and
faults committed but, having in all things
melted our readers to think and Judge for them.

claim for this journal the credit OF having
qualified its readers to detect and expose even
