I 11 r: New Era. Some may lie curious enough to
inquire why we have given the paper ibis name :
. Our reasons are these :
1. Because we now identify ourselves more close

ing enterprize we have long witnessed and
admired, and whose prosperity, with our own,
wt: desire to advance; mid in ho identifying
ourselves, we have chosen t|1(. time when a
Acre /-.ra has opened upon the good “ Old Bor
ough, and she finds herself, by the silent but
potent operation of the ballot-lmx, suddenly
transform 'd into a young and vigorous city,,
•'mied at all points, like Minerva, ready to
take her stand among the rival cities of the
Union; when the list vestige of kingly char
terod rights is broken down, and she comes
directly under a rcpublicau municipal govern

wrought in the political world ; when h new
man is til the head ol affairs, when old parties
have been broken down.and old measures have
been quietly abandoned, and we open our eyes
upon ;i iirin order of things. We find the first
i great move in carrying out the object of our
government, •* enlarging the boundaries of
freedom,” just about to he made, by the annex

at our progress, and muttering* aro heard from
afar. We take our stand where and when wo

more certain aid to the Government which we
zealously labored to bring into power.
‘- tu b are some or the reasons that induce us by
gi\e the new paper the name we have proposed, and
we hope they will be satisfactory to every freeman*
