The Cincinnati Enquirer (!

In its columns, the news of the world is
given every day in the year. Its two thous.
and correspondents located in every sec

most reliable news gatherers to he had,
and the history of each days events will
be faithfully recorded and presented to the
public through the Enquirer, free from dis.
tortion or prejudice.
The province Of a newspaper is to record
facts, to separate truth from ialsehood.
How well the Enquirer has succeeded in
this duty, we feel pardonable pride in re-
ferring to its files and past record for evil
dence of its ability and thoroughness in
presenting oil matters treated upon in
their true light.
The people OF this age require a paper
fully abreast of the times, co-equal in en-
terprise, and material advancement in all
mercantile and political interests, such
will the Enquirer continue to be. Candor
and fairness will be accorded to all Ques-
tons and parties, but the facts shall never
be perverted.
The Immediate Future has in store,
matters of grave interest to all, and the
general welfare will largely depend upon
the influence of those who are fully con-
yersant with facts occurring and to occur.
The policy OF the government but partially
developed by the New Administration,
was fast winning the confidence Of the peo-
