The present number of the REGISTER asbody, form and subsumes something of the stance we wish it to possess; though not arrived at the desired train of the business, we hope to teach it with a little more experience. The public [revolutionary] papers were postponed to make room for a new declaration of independence, &c.—their publication shall be resumed, and the proposed series liesurely completed. The editor requests information of any irregularity in the delivery or transmission of this paper, that it may be remedied. Communications to him must be free of expence. By close attention, we hope to prove ourselves worthy our increased and increasing support the editor ba- to present his thanks to more than a hundred new subscribers obtained since Saturday last. With the third or fourth number shall be pubished an extra; if the patronage of the Register goes on as it has done, we promise at least an extra heet for every mouth. Subscribers may be furnished from the beginning. |
