This question has been asked, and our an
swer is at hand We will insert any article
as an advertisement that any reasonable man
will say we ought in view of our principles
we ourselves being Judge as to who is reaso-
nable man. II would be very inconsistent in
US to ask the people to buy the article we op-
pose as beverage, or to do anything contrary
TO the morality of the Bible; but VIII hatever
tends, IN our own opinion, to public good, we
will advertise and recommend freely.


We cannot take sides with any religious
sect, or political party, nor show any prefe-
rences, for any cause, save that of GoD our
Saviour, which is common cause and we
hesitate not TO AFFIRM that the stand we take,
whils it.prevenls US from taking sides with any,
most efectually places US on the side of all
paradoxical as il may appear. We can publish
as news, correspondence or advertisement, an
article favorable to any sect or party in the
world SO that it oppose not any other sect or
party in the world, and in the Fountain the
world may tell its story, and the world may

principle. As to the names OF men, we would

which, IN our opinion, we can never do by "a
busing him, or placing him in such an attitude
before the people as will lead him to lose all
selt.respect, and give way 10 every evil incli-
nation. Many one has been ruined by this
rough and imprudent course; therefore we
cannot freely consent to publish, in any de-
partment Of our paper, offensive personalities.
We shall speak the truth in the love Of it, and
every man who has not scared his conscience
as with hot iron, will feel its application as
10 those who are calous TO the influences of
truth and reason, we expect not TO effect any
thing, even though we should strive every
day. Few men can be driven; every one can
be persuaded.


These remarks will, we trust, serve the pur-
pose intended, j. e., more fully 10 define our
position.
