I V'Vhen'ever a new, journal makes; its appearance, the enquiry «i,s‘,.§ what areitvs‘ political .princi~ples_~? To- those who may thus, \enquire rcspec-, ting the Register, we answer, that we are ! attached to -the constitu-7 tion \vhich binds together the vari- ous members ofour National Union ;' that we regard it as the most sp‘le'n-I did monument of legislative wisdom,‘ and the most perfect fabric that was ever erected on the basis of liberty. We are, however_, among the num- ber of those who believe that «the « A;,g;];miQi5t,|§a_tidn that .C01‘::-rl.itllti<‘)n',\ has been con to me'n, whose minds were too ‘feeble to direct its powers, or too corrupt to direct them ‘in accordance with the best interests, the happiness and the glory of the nation. We feel that our country 15 now wretched, degraded, and disgra- cedmthat she is oppressed with a weight‘ of calamity that causes even her gigantic frame to tremble; and we believe, that the weakness, the depravity,or the infatuation of our ru- lers, is the true source from which these mighty evils have sprun_:,-‘. But this is not the proper time to inves- tigatt*——the restoration of our coun- try demands the aid of every true American. lWe are proudly conscious of the dignity and independence with which the spirit ofthc Constitution has in- vested the character of an American Freeman, and we shall never hesi- tate to censure or condemn those of\ our rulers whci‘ bascly abuse the cou- of their constituents, by vio'.-7! latingthcir most sacred rights. W llhk.‘ equal freedom we shall bestow our‘ annnadver-sionsr upon such public measures as are adopted in de of the dictates of political wisdom, or in direct hostility to the vital in- terrsts of the nation. \Ve would disdain, however, to open our col- umns to more party purposes; and when we are constrained to censure or ( ondemn, we shall do it in the spir- it of patriot, , “ ‘We h vltl it to be incompatible with the duty of a good citizen, to oppose in any manner, whatever, the execu- tion of those public laws that ema-. inate from the regularly constituted authorities ; and we shall always frown upon every indication of the Slightrst spirit of resistance. It will always be our endeavor to obtain the earliest intelligence of passing events, both foigeigli and do- mestic; and no u1n1_eccssai'y delay sh-all ever withhold it from our pat- rons. To arrive at truth will be an object which we shall spare no pains : to accomplish, that put‘ readers may never be deceived by falsehood, or misled by error. Yet we ixre atvarc, that the sources of information, res- pecting distant occurrences, are so uncertain and so liable to be corrupt- ed. that the most wary and cautious will sometimes become the dupes of dc:-option. I‘-‘ear is prone tomaa§ni- fy---passion will distort, and self-ix» terest will invent or conceal. We, like the rest of’ mankind, are liable to imposition---we may unguardedly be led to give publicity to error, and the sanction of our Press to falsehood; but the moment they are known to be such, we shall hasten to do jus- tice to truth. Our columns will be always open to such original productions as ‘fraught with political or moral ilfgfé» struetion. We are friends to virtue“ and would promotte l_1_er cause. The publishers llattcr themselves, that their exertions will be of that nature as to merit such a portion of public support, as will remunerate ” them for the expcnces necessarily ‘attendant upon the business in which they now engage. On their part, they pledge themselves to devote their Press to the public good.
