I cordially commend to those gentle* men of business, Hankers, Brokers, Mer chants, etc., here and elsewhere, whose notice The Chronicle as a financial and commercial nrouitor may have escaped, to look carefully into the merits of this the staudard Journal of America in mat ters pertaining to finance and commerce ?its extended and extending circula tion being the strongest testimony in its favor. I would here take occasion to remark, iu passiug, that its editor's, (per sonally known to myself,) are gentlemen of intelligence, refinement and culture. This accounts somewhat for the paper being conducted on tho exactest princi ples of honor and integrity, and with an ability, vigor and independence seldom equalled and never excelled. So gcnorally known is this paper that no Banker's or Merchant's Library throughout the length and breadth of this vast country i? considered complete without it. It cau be found on almost every dtobk, alwes a faithful ^on-pautou, friend and guide. I do not pretend to argue luu merits oi tins paper, but sim ply Rf>k the skeptic to road aar), be cou? vinccd. I I have been requested by the pub Hshnrs to act for them in this teotion, and have consented, in consideration of the many courtesies they have extended to me.
