'lf the indications Of the past few weeks are
to be relied on, our paper is destined seen' to
attain a far wider circulation than heretofore.
We believe that' it is. ~beginning to be per

:upon it, to make it dCserving of public pat
ronage, cud our friencla have detgrtnined to
sustain it accordingli i , That's Give
the RepubliCan a genercus support, and we
will try to make it 'worth yeur money.—
We mean to make it such a paper, that no
citizen of Susquehanna' county can atroieto
