Tho first step iken by the British Government, and the d ate in Par. liament, consequent upon Mcl od's arrest, were rather forced upon them y tho Tory opposition, and tho popular., ir tulse there, than any unfriendly dispositioof the min. istry.

C.,' devoted to- Vie Religion, Moral, Educational, Agricultural and Political inle. rrtitof the community. THE liberal patronage and extensive cirouln. tion of the first volume of this journal, induce the Proprietors to issue a pronpectus for the itcrond volume confident -of continuing to receive, ns they will ever labor to merit, jijul shftfc iiL- publie patronage;- r Our course in future shall be much aa hcretbforr. We shall labor to ascertain tlie truth in regard to ' the various subjects which may claim our alteii. tion ; and when ascertained, we will faithfully ami fearlessly proclaim it regardless aliko ftlin smilca or frowns of lliose whom it may afTeet. As the paper is our own established for the benefit of the country in which we live we call no man master deny all servility to any man or set of men think for ourselves form our own opinion writo for ourselves and candidly publish whut we think will be most instructive and useful to our reacjers, without enquiring whether it will bo ac ceptable to this, that, or any sect or rty. In I'oi.itics, we have hitherto acted with lho Tiig party, because we believed that the measiins advocated by thetn-wre-most compatiblwwrth liw general good. .. Wo still believe it, and shall con tinue to act with that party so long as its members ' advocate the principles which now characterize them. . " .. We believe we 'can safely say that in no ciso have we ever prostituted our paper to the unhal lowed purposes .of detraction arid abuse. In many Instances we have felt called upon to speak plainly in tefcrenco to the character and condnct of pro. minent individuals and in doing so, have nccen. sarily, in many instances, been severe ; and exposed corruption and crime because wa were-fully cotn - tinccd that the public good required it but in rm' case havo w wantonly assailed tlie character, or needlessly exposed tlie fault of any. This shall continue to' be our court.. We are the open ene mies of" vic'e"aftor immoraTOy--anif ho rank b'r'cori dition shall shield it from its merited rebuke. We hope never to lose sight of the Educational and Agricultural interest of oar readers. To insist upon the necessity and advantages of dn. cation in general to point out and contrast tho various means of imparting it, and tu throw all possible light upon the question how it can, be best promoted - throughout the country is what wo consider the duty of the public press at alf time. In the discharge of this duty we hope to bear our part. , i- . .. We shall conlaiuo to devote a poition of oar paper to Agricnltnral matters, and! occasionally enlarge upon thond branches of natural science w necessary to be at least partially understood by all. And finally as we have on our exchange list a goodly number of the most approved literary and miscellaneous publications of the day, we shall not fail to keep our readers apprised of tlie most important occurrences transpiring at home and abroad. . .
