Some of these may think we have entirely
neglected them; but this is mistake. Com
munications multiply rapidly upon our desk,
but we shall try to do justice 10 all, # our trends
will bear with us awhile.


AS to the style Of some Of the communlca
tons we insert, we may say It is not our de-
sire to change it, let every one write as ne be-
lieves to be proper, and our part IS to decide
whether his article is worthy Of publication.
We love liberty, and do not wish 10 control
those who help US. Let US hear often then
from our friends on important subjects,


We should like TO fill up all the departments
of our paper with original matter, if we could
get our friends to write suitable articles; but
the special attention of correspondents in our
own city, is called to the g 'sCity Affairs" II
any one wishes an item of news inserted, we
expect him to furnish it in plain hand, especl-
ally the names Of persons and places. Come
10 our aid one and ALL Why may not this ci-
ty have spirited an independent daily journal,
as well as other cities Such we are striving
to give our fellow citizens, and noW is the time
to help US ahead--now, when every prospect
pleases:" no,o when the spring time is opening,

cooperation Of those who can use their pens
to advantage, and the Fountain will yield Its
waters, the music of whose flow, and the
sweetness of whose taste will cheer and re-
fresh hundreds and thousands. Write often,
write short articles, and right to the point


A few days since we published an article
over the signature Of GO Patrick Henry" which
contained charges against our correspondent
l." of alexandria, accusing him OF . gross
mis- Statements" SC. We shortly after re-
ceive,l reply from " L." exculpating himself
from the, charge, (for which there was not, In
our opinion, the least foundation.) 1t being
impossible for us, at the time to publish his
letter in full-we merely gave synopsis there
of, containing his denial of the charges.
which, together with our remark--that names
were g arbitrary things and should be writ
ten plainly, we supposed was an admission on
our part Of MISCONCEPTIONS of the names al
luded to. The letter written to us by l.. cor
recting his first letter, was not received we
think this explanation ought to satisfy our
worthy and excellent correspondent, and DO
hope he will proceed to furnish us, as before,
with his valuable communications. f.
