But entenbve political in formaton is not to he acquired without much Jaipur, ard few have lcifurc to study the hflems,compare the opinions, & pcrule the pages of Locke, Sydney, Gibbon, Hume & Vittel.

We can promise little except what atten tion, honesty & industry can perform. The principle* of our Paper, like our own, will he Republican, “butthefame freedom ofopin i'm which we claim for ourfelve*, we with all other*to enjoy.” Civil and Religious li-erry is the birh right of evry man, and he who will not extend the fame indulgence to all parties, and all fe&, which he withes Tor his own, u already or delcrves to be a Have.
