From the very liberal support which this paper has received, we are sanguine in the expectation, that the succeeding volume will receive the same extensive patronage which has been bestowed upon the present and first volume. It is now circulated in every State and Territory in the Union, also in both the Canadas and Europe. We shall endeavor to pursue, as heretofore, a fearless upright course, and defend the cause of truth whenever assailed by reasonable and candid men, with all candor and soberness; but shall not condescend to notice many of the false and slanderous reports, put in circulation by low and worthless wretches, who disregard all rules of honor and decorum, but who make unprovoked attacks upon a community of people because they do not believe precisely with themselves, in religious matters. The interest of the succeeding volume will be greatly enhanced, from the fact of our being in the regular receipt of communications from Elder O. Hyde, our missionary to Palestine, who is now in Central Europe, on his way to the Holy Land; his letters will be perused with pleasure and deep interest by all the well wishers to the ancient people of God-the children of Israel. Our terms are Two Dollars per annum in advance. The paper will be discontinued at the expiration of the time paid for. The following is an extract from the instructions recently addressed to all the Post Masters of the United States by the Post Master General: "Post Masters may enclose money in a letter to a publisher of a newspaper, to pay the subscription of a third person, and frank the letter, if written by himself." The editor of the Warsaw Signal has proven our sayings to be correct, by manifesting his hostility towards us, as he was one of the individuals refered [referred] to in our remarks. We still assert, that with the exception of himself and the Messrs. Kilbourns of Montrose, we know of no hostile feelings between us and our neighbors.
