with direct falsehood, or with statements subversive of truth having in view only one object-the spreading of Sedition. Let therefore the great council of the Nation, when assembled in Parliament, unite, heart and hand, in framing some law, which, in the true spirit of the Constitution,-clear but comprehensive,temperate yet decisive, shall duly regulate the exercise of the Press; compared to whose energies Wealth is inefficient, and the Sword powerless; and whose present licentiousness, unless seasonably checked, will be subversive of its own Liberty. In these days, we have practical proof, that Knowledge is the highest power,—It cannot, therefore, be too often repeated that a State, who would have that power directed to its preservation rather than to its ruin, must bring it under due regulation. To the Legislature we look for a remedy to the Evil; indeed, they cannot but themselves feel it their first and paramount duty to stop the Fountain of ill. The Country expects thus much from them: It must not be dissappointed. The welfare of England-nay, the welfare of the World-is in their keeping. May they guard it as becomes them-as Men,-as Britons,-as Christians-fearless-dauntless-unshrinking.

In the confident expectation, that his hopes will not be disappointed, the Editor pauses in his labours; and, for a season, takes leave of his readers, with assurances of every sentiment of respect and gratitude for an encouragement on their part, the memory of which will cease only with his life-and which will be a powerful motive with him for future exertions, should occas on again call them forth.
