DEPENDENT in all things, and NEUTRAL in
nothing, taking liberal hand in all the con-
trover,ies of the day. This shall DO an I'm

while the name of my paper indicates, in un-
mistakabc terms its politics, shall, as
faithful sentinel lose sight Of Wings. Dem
ocrsts and Republicans, and remember only
my Government and the pre'crvation of tho
Federal Union, as richly worth all the sacri.
fees Of blood aud treasure, their preservation
may cost, even to the determination Of the
present race Of men, and the consumption of
all the means Of the present age
Intervention, national jealousy, and hatred
double dealing, and piratica cowardice have
been governing principles with England; and
when our home troubles are settled, | will
advocate giving England turn The whole
course Of the Emperor Of tho French has
been characterized by diplomatic msinccrity
and truly loyal American journal can en-
terrain no other feelings toward NAPOLEON
than those of haired and contempt
