In Politics it is entirely free from party relations or aftin- 
itit'si, discussing great principles with freedom and candor, 
and giving the fullest and latest intelligence of all the move- 
ments of the day. 
IT SUPPORTS THE GOVERNMENT 
WITn VIGOR, FIDELITY AND ZEAL, 
in its elForts to 
CRUSH THE REBELLION 
and restore the Union and preserve the Constitution. It crit- 
icises with freedom whatever measures are not adapted to 
the accomplishment of these ends; but its steady purpose, 
from the beginning of the war, has been, and will lie, to up- 
hold the hands and strengthen the heart of the Government, 
while it puts forth its energies to protect us against the most 
unholy rebellion that ever disturbed the peace of any coun- 
try.
