advocate of reform and retrenchment, and of
the substitution of s craftsmanship, WISDOM
and integrity for hollow pretence, imbeclity,
and fraud in the administration of public af,
fairs. 1t will contend for the government of
the people by the people and for the people,
as opposed to government by frauds in the
ballot box and in the counting of votes, en-
forced by military violence. 1t will endeavor
to supply its readers--a body now not far
from q million of souls-with the most care.
fui, complete, and Trustworthy accounts Of cur.
rent events, and will employ for this purpose
numerous and carefully selected staff Of re
porters and correspondents. Its reports from
Washington, especially, will be full, accurate,
and fearless; and it will doubtless continued o
deserve and enjoy the hatred of those who
thrive by plundering the Treasury or by
usurping what the law does not give them,
while it w'ii aalcavor t9 n,=rit the confid ence
OF the public by defending the rights of the
pSoPio against thc euCrO2CnmentS OF unluS l.
