mrariaby paid IN ddrawce, The Tri-weekly
will cost 81 per annum, The cost Of paper,
materials of all kinds, and of labor, has so
increased since the Inauguration of the Re-
bellion, that | am not able to furnish tho
paper for less or to hold out any inducements
to clubs
Two years ago, my paper, then the last
Union sheet aud the on y religions one float

labor of love-
The WING AND VENTILAToR will be IN
DEPENDENT in all things and NEUTRAL in
nothing, taking n liberal hand in all the con-
troyersies of the day This shall be an n-
conditional Union journal, holding up all
participants in the late Rebellion--uow al
most played out-as a choice collection Of
men for Rogucs Gallery At the same
time, | will make war upon all gamblers and
thieves, North and South-all whose trade it
is to rob the public crib, as well as private
pllerers; the whisky -bloats; the DULLES in
elections; oppressors who grind the face OF

destroys the Independence of the Press and
cast from me that tactious opposition which
gives to party what is due to country. And
while the name Of my paper indicates, in I'M
mistakable terms its politics, | shall, as q
faithful sentinel, lose sight of Wings, Dem

course of the Emperor of the French has
been characterized by diplomatic insincerity
