BY SERGEANT HALL. The importance of a newspaper is so manifest, that it is deemed superfluous to enlarge upon its advantages. The republican institutions of America can be preserved from the grasp of unhallowed ambition only by the general diffusion of knowledge among the people. We can never be too jealous of our liberties. Let us constantly revert to first principles ; let us endeavor to imitate our forefathers. After a Ions succession of toils and dangers, they deposited on the altar of freedom a constitution which is the admiration and envy of the world. This rich inheritance they bequeathed to us, and it i- our duty to transmit it to our children, unimpaired and unalloyed. To this end, the press lias alwavs been found the most efficient auxiliary. Me who undertakes to wield this powerful engine, aiiins a situation at once difficult and dangerous. Like the old man in the table, he encounters objections at every turn. That our career shall be more successful than that of those who have preceded us, we dare not liope. We are for the country, honestly and sincerely, and we shall guard her rights with an eye that never in!x. and a hand that never tires. Fortunately for this new and rising state, faction has not yet reared it gorgon head among us ; we are yet tree from those rubals which convulse the eastern and middle states.
