It Is the session which will develope the plan of the present administration. Its measures will stamp the character of our institutions for year, 10 come.

He is persua- ded that with the facilities which his position enables him 10 employ; with the official and other materials placed within his reach and with the aid ol the correspondence which he Is attempting to f establish in foreign countries, a paper may be pub lished, which is not unworthy Of the support of his country. In undertaking the task, he knew he had many difficulties to overcome many lessons to IeafH, many sacrifices to encounter. He knew that amid he afdoHs cares ot a theatre he could not at first do justice even to himsef but his zeal has never Tagged. What enthusiasm and industry can effect, will be fully accomplished. Some errors he nay have already committed. But upon one point, le can speak with great pleasure and with equal freedom.
