THE INDEPENDENT has now entered
i upon the 18th year of its existence, and
is conducted with the same genera principles
anu aims for which it was started. 1t is re-
ligious newspaper of the largest class: Con-
gregational. but not sectarian in its denorni-
national afiinities. Orthodox, but tolerant in
its theological views, earnest and decided in
opposition to slavery, and to every organic or
social iniquity and wrong. yet Christian in
its temper, and lawful in its methods of deal
ing with public sin. In the great contest now
waging IN our country, THE INDEPENDENT is
uncompromising in hostility to the rebellion,
and earnest and resolute in upholding the gov
errment.
In addition to a weekly summary of secu-
lar and religious news, carefully prepared,
THE INDEPENDENT is enriched by various
and widespread correspondence from our own
and other lands. In its selected religious ar
ticles and it's original contributions it provides
instructive reading for the family. Every
week it contains
