The Republican.

THIS Work is continued on the basis of a determined freedom and independence, its sentiments are open and in no instance admits of ambiguity, or are they liable to a dubious construction. It freely canvasses the passing events of the day and exhibits them in their proper views and purport. It does not shrink from canvassing the utility and propriety of the various establishments of the country, whether political or religious. Here hypocrisy finds no support, nor tyranny adulation. The cause of truth and the moral welfare of mankind is its only object. The general sentiments of this work are of that kind to give the reader a satisfaction on a future day, as they are more confined to general subjects than to passing trifles. It will stand as an example of what may be done in the worst of times by a determined opposition to bad men and bad measures.

To those who are acquainted with the contents of any of the former volumes of "The Republican" it is scarcely necessary to say what will be the future, as the spirit and principle will be the same with a studied endeavour to improve.

From the time of Plato, until within the present age, it has been deemed a visionary theory to advocate the preference of a Republican form of Government, and, in fact, it was so, before the Representative System of Government was made the basis of Republicanism, but now that paragon in social and political economy has been discovered, and its practical part exhibited to the view of all the people on the earth, it is not only become not visionary to advocate the Republican form of Government, but the contrary, or that which is deficient, is become a proof of corruption and dishonesty in its advocates. There is no political honesty but in the advocacy of the Representative System of Government, and that System of Government constitutes the only Real Republicanism, therefore, it is evident that there can be no political honesty but in the advocacy of the Republican

form of Government.

These are the political sentiments of "The Republican."

But there is another point equally important and equally Republican. From all the facts we can gather from historical records it is evident, that the majority of mankind have been the dupes of impostors, who, to their own peculiar gain, and to the loss and misery of the multitude, have inculcated idolatry. Every nation on the face of the earth has had its idols to impose on the ever ignorant and credulous multitude, and every nation has still its idols from the corporeally visible Jugernaut to the spiritually invisible Jehovah and Jesus. To endeavour to abolish this idolatry, to enlighten the multitude, and to shew them that every species of religion is idolatrous, immoral and both mentally and corporeally mischievous, shall be the peculiar object of "The Republican."

Its Editor will shrink from nothing that is calculated to exhibit truth to the mass of mankind, and more particularly his fellow natives of this Island, whatever pains and penalties may follow the act. He says, that robbers masked and robbers unmasked, prey upon the productive labour of the multitude, and he will endeavour as far as in him lies to expose and destroy the former, and enlighten and protect the latter.

REPORT OF THE TRIAL OF MRS. JANE CARLILE.

On an ex-officio Information, for pub. lishing No. 8, Vol. 3, of the Republican.

N. B. The defence on this trial, of which a full report is given, will be found to comprise the pith of that excellent pamphlet published during the usurpation of Oliver Cromwell, entitled Killing no Murder.
