As it is a principal part of our plan, to felecft valuable fi gitive 

 papers, wherever they can be toand, to be prelerved in this 

 milcellany, we deem the tollowing, which appeared a ihort 

 time ago m a moruins paper, too valuable to be fuftered to 

 perifh. When we meet with any ot ler of equal merit on 

 the oppoiite fide of the queftion, it fhall be admitted with 

 equal leadincfj.
