Recent events have demonstrated the j n sensitive religion between the agriculture of j T ns j the Soatii and West, and the commerce and j * | manufactures of the East; and it becomes j ^ | the merchants to deliberate how they can j ^ i best counteract the conspiracy which would j 0f j array an unnatural warfare between sections j an ! and interests so closely identified. j bi a ! As good citizens, they have no remedy but ! [ie j the ballot box; an enlightened public opinion | ajj 1 constitutes the only medium through which I '^Q they can vindicate their motives or protect j |t0 1 their interests, in a government like ours, j the press is the great lever of public sentiment. tc |ie The necessity of unity in support of a common j n] ed or?an' ably representing their objects and j w a ! principles, was the subject of anxious solici-, |1; VQ ' tude; and after a full comparison of opinions, J tc I tlie basis of concevt was embodied in the pro- j ,u. j spectus of the Reformer, and Mr. Ck.vllc, a i |Uj j gentleman of experience and distinguished J ^ ; ability, selected as the Editor, under the pat-; ~ j ronage of those members of Congress from ; | the South and West, who are opposed to the | T j e isiing Administration. | J n-j It is believed that their present Litter ex- 0] of j pericnee will induce the merchants of the m-! 0: terior, as well as of the sea-board, to unite ! T on with these distmguised statesmen. The nier-! c< r" chants, who must now feel the want of such ; lc al a press, can extend its circulation and secure j ki r? for it a patronage which will enable the pub-1 'e . ?- I ttipir s^rvicp. flip bo?t til lUCUii j*?ww v..v.. n- cnts and the purest patriotism. | * as Mr. Cr.vlle will reside in Washington,'tc from whence lie can communicate three times | cn , a day with the publisher, who will reside in | J rt- i Baltimore, and do all he can to make "The j j Merchant" equal to any other press for j 0 at usefulness, intelligence, and public virtue. j a: Among tlie arrangements in contemplation ; p i5- i is the employment of an able associate Ed- j j itor to reside in New York, who, being well i I informed in mercantile affairs, will unite his j ed ! talents and experience in enriching our coln j umns. We have assurances from some of * n- | the most eminent merchants that they will of ' aid us in the selection; and to such a corre-1 c on | spondent, the most liberal compensation which 1 o rn j the resources of the paper justilics, will be j tl cs given. I a The Merchant will be a daily paper at ?3 j t: ce ! per annum.
