sents, that it is of great importance to good morals
that Daily newspaper, free from party politics and

Quoted on principles of reason, by facts and vargu
ments presented in respectful manner This is
evident from the occurrences SO frequently taking

brought about by the traffic and of intoxicating

the Columbian Fountain, paper now published in
this city, is well calculated, from the firm and yet
respectful manner in which it has, and we believe
still will continue to treat, moral subjects, do great
good and further that in much at the low price
at which the paper is furnished, it must be losing
business to the publisher, unless assistance be
rendered by way of relieving him from part Of his
expense, and, believing do, that the location
of such paper in the lover story Of the Capitol
would, the "ground Of public policy" be Of pub
lie convenience and utility, respectfully ask Of your
Honorable body to let the press and types of the
said Columbian FountaiR be placed in some conve-
nient room--and that it be lighted and warmed
when necessary, and also that the publisher receive
SO much Of the printing may not be inconsistent
with the public interest son the ground of public
policy" and your petitioners, in duty bound will
