W. Fenno. He therefore deems it proper, at this period, to ftat* some particulars relative to it, at, and (ince the time when it became his eilablilhmeut. The Gazette of the United States, hr;d from il,B commencment, been conduced, at different periods, hy two gentlemen, of acknowledged talents and refpeftabiliy ; here; it merited und obtained countenance from a very numerous and refpe£tabl© class of the community. It was, therefore, reufonably concluded, that on its becoming the pro perty of another, who from several years absence from his native city, was recognijed ««tly by private friends, that a proportion of those who had previoully honored it by their support, would withdraw <heir names. This was pirtially the cafe ; —but so ttr from realising the fears eilttrtained on this point, not ont fourth of t\ie number contem plated, have relimjui (lied. This alone was a favourable a***, W« it is infinitely more gratifying to o'ofervc, that, the numbers ad ded to his fubicription lift, have exceeded his calculations twc-fold. I» the Advei tifing department, many favours are acknowledged, but as on this particular, reds the ability to meet large pecuniary, weekly difburftments, it is found recjnifite to falicit a more liberal support. This paper, exclusive of the number cir culated in this city, is read in every town, of any Importance, in the United States, and in the atlvertifmg line, will be found highly beneficial to the Mercantile part of the community, It will be deemed fuperfluous, .at this time, to enter into a detail .of the political principles of the Editor—the motives which attuate him, and his general plan of editing. Thev are now universally known, and it it highly pleating to find, that they are gene rally approved of, by a refpeflable portion of the community, who have fan&ionecl that appiobation with their names and purses. It may be observed by some honed, wor thy men, that the style of the Gazette is fometimrs violent, and that private per ons, are at those times attacked—To the charge of violence he obje&s, that of warmth is cheerfully arl mi ted he will here ehferve, that advocating truth, and the deared interests of his country, he feels a teal, which V.e thinks, ajid they on refleftion mud admit, is laudable. Those, who objeft to his giving full scope to his feelings on 1-bis I'ubjeft, will do well to consider, that has to contend with 'an unprincipled, daring, and al pi ring faction ; who threaten every thmg-virtuous, with total fubverdon, whofe only arguments are falfehood and calumny. Private characters, are held TaCred, pene rally speaking, but when turbulent aliens and naturalized citisens, become bawlers at Town meetings and write libel after libel ®n the Rift chara£ters iu oyr country ; —When they fanftion with their detested names the mod glaring falfehoods and the vilest de tra&ion, amid such an uproar, silence would be criminal. Such men and those only has the Editor dragged before the American peo ple ; he has opposed them, and will continue tn oppose them, and from the ftrongcTl ties of attachment to America, he will uncea singly combat with all the means in his power, the insidious and inveterate foes to this country whether foreign or domestic, under whet ever specious garb they may to atTume.
