Two years ago, my paper, then the last
Union sheet, and the only religious one float
ing over jeff Dayis's ungodly dominons, was
crushed out by that God-iorsukcn mob iamil-
iarly known as the Cntcdcratc authorities.
| glory in opening my batteries from my old
Notifications, beginning with this hell born
and hcll-bound Rebellion, where the traitors
forced me to leave OF my work Of faith and
labor of love-
The WIG AND NESTlLAToR will be In
DEPENDENT in all things and NEUTRAL In
nothing, taking liberal hand in all the con-
trovorscs of the day. This shall be an m.
conditional Union Journal holding up all
participants in the tate Robcllion--now al
most played out--as choice collection Of
men for Rogucs Gallery! At the same
time, | will make war upon all gamblers and
thieves North and South--al whose trade it
is to rob the public crib, as well as private
piliercrs the whisky-bloats the bullics in
elections oppressors who grind the face OF
the poor; cxtortioncrs in trade who swindle
by wholesale and retail and all toul-mouthad
Secession sympathizcrs and other disturberr
of the peace, in the various sink-holes OF
society, North and South ] will not fail to
do justice to the worst class Of men who make
tracks upon Southern soil--SeccssiOn preach
ers, of all denominations
/ repeat that in the rule of my editorial
conduct | shall ALLURE that servlity which
destroys the independence of the Press, and
cast from me that iactious opposition which
gives to party what is due to cOaRtry, And
while the name Of my paper indicates, in I'M
mistakabc terms its politics. | shall, as q
faithful sentinel, lose sight Of Wings, Dem
ocrats and Republicans, and remember only
my Government and the preservation Of the
Federal Union, as richly worth all the sacri.
fees of blood and treasure, their preservation
may cost, oven to the determination of tho
present race of men, and the consumption Of
all the means Of the present age
Intervention, national jealousy, and hatred,
double dealing, and piratical cowardice have
been governing principles with England; and
when our homo troubles are settled, | will
advocate giving England turn The whole
course Of the Emperor Of the French has
been characterized by dplomatie insinceriy;
and truly loyal American journal can en-
terrain no other feelings toward NAPOLEON
than thqFe al bHra9 c2 a%d Gsc% brought on
this war--tho corrupt leaders of the South
alleging that it was necessary TO render tho
"pcculiar institution" SccWre, when it ,eas Sc
cure under the Constitution, and could never
be secure anywhere else. 1t is now no longer
the local, but the trauciing institution Of the |
country; and | have no sympathy with any
Southern Disunionist who has lost his slaves.
Slavery has been destroyed, and the South has
done il, without any proyocaton whatever.
This position will openly take and stubbornly
maintain.
