MEssRs. EDIroRs: / have taken your
paper from its commencement, and have
read your articles with pleasure and profit
So far as my testimony has any value, most
cheerfully record il in favor of the Fountain,
not only as an able and faithful champion in
the, cause of Temperance, TO which it is de-
voted, but also TO its faithful support of every
moral and religious question which has been
discussed in its columns.


4 If the Fountain has differed from me in
any thing, it has been in the same preference
and warm advocacy it has given TO the claims
OF an Order to which its editor belongs, that
myself entertain Tor the society Of which am
a member.


Il may, as a faithful witness for the Foun-
tain, farther aver, that in every controversy in
which it has, thus far, engaged, it has. in my
judgment, exhibited ability'and frmness, with
kindness and courtesy, such as would improve
most Of the other papers in the community,
were they to follow its example.


y In the Fountain of this morning, the editors
especially address the people of the North, in
to many Of whose hands the paper is now to
be. placed and to them it is declared, g the
grand and absorbing object Of our heart is to
do good "--"to preserve consistency we en-
deavor to exclude from our columns every item
giving the least counlenance to vice in any of
its numerous forms and will not insert even
an advertisement calling on the public to pat
ronize any kind Of euil. Infaible we do not
pretend to be, but if we err, we err not will
lingly, in the respect named or il we find an
error in our course, or we are proved TO be in
error by others, we frankly acknowledge the
same and strive to do better in future.n


Now, as you and your readers may differ
very widely as 10 what constitutes "any kind
of evil" will you be pleased, for the informa
ton of our numerous friends at the North, to
inform them whether you would be willing to
advertise for sale In this market that great
enemy Of man, RuM2 / notice you have re-
peatedly advertised MAN himself for sale !


Yours, B.
