ment Of the State, and the generous reception
which II has met with, and the unexpected meas
ure OF success which has uniformly attended il
mus far, afiord the most satisfactory evidence 10
the proprietors that they did not misconstrue the
puolic demand. The PREss has been in existence
out one year and half, and though il was COM
menced with no previous canvassing, and with
the held, to superficial observer, fully occupied
by papers having old associations and honor
able antecedents, yet in its brief history it has

lie confidence and respect most encouraging TO
the proprietors, and stimulating to their cher
lshed desire to satisfy the public wants by max

Though the PRESS has had success far err
ceeciing the most sangune expectations Of ia
projectors, and though comparatively few sub
scribers have been heard to complain of its ac-
