This number completes six months since
the present Editors Of the Portland Gazette,
took charge Of the establishment and if we
NAV be permitted to form an opinion from the
increased support and patronage which he's
been received, we may conclude that our
ertiCns have not been received unfavOurably
IN return, with greattul sense, for the hon
durable and continued encouragement confer
cd our subscribers and .4dUertf-ing friends,
will accept our respectful Acknowledgements.


With a firm attachment to the politics of
Washington and tederaHsm, and a rehubfcQn
form Of government we assumed the manage
ment Of the Gazette with determination to
contend for such men and measures III gov
ernment, as are calculated to perpetuate
the independence, honour and prosperity oi
the United States; in a conscientious dis
charge Of this duty, we have been .taUotlred
with a share of democratic sCuI'rlhty aid a.
busc-This was to be expected as the fac
tious, the revolutionist, and the ambitious and
unprirciplcd demogoGre, are united against
our paper and the civil institutions of our
country-But while we view with contempt
the fiuitlcss efforts made by our political op-
ronents to iniure the Gazette, we can answer



tons, to pursue that course which is right.
Detraction and abuse shall never find place
in the columns of the Gazette our foes NAV
mcnopolize it---admitting it inlo public
print, has direct tendency to destroy that So
Cial intercourse which gives TO life the greatest
pleasures.


Supported by our friends, and rendered dou-
Div secure DIV the solid basis upon which their
political opinions are erected, WE bid defiance
to the open and fecret Vaccinations Of our en-
emics.


Possessing a high veneration for the CHI.
and religious institutions of the country no
exertions, within our power, will be spared to
render the Gazette a source Of correct IL
telligence and general information, worthy the
perusal of al. Already we possess a conside-
rable number Of respectable subscribers, who
do not exactly accord with us in politics.
In noticing patronage, we would not omit
to mention the many liberal favours of oui
Mercantile and .Advetising friends-these claim
orr warmest thanks and as this paper has
the most extensive circulation Of any printed
in the district, it will be found highly adyanta
geous for the insertion of Advertisements.


The commercial concerns Of our country
demand particular attention and we shall en-
deavor to discharge this duty in q manner
which the importance Of the subject requires


Marine and Mercantile articles of intelli-
gence viii meet prompt attention Masters
OF vessels viii confer on Us a favor, and pro-
mote the interest Of their employers, BY being
particularin furnishing ship news.-While We
with pleasure acknowiedge the accommod2-
