Qn. Whether Rivington might not be a proper
person for the Printer. As it must have the character
in some measure of a ministerial paper,
would might not he serve as a good screen, to
stand in the gap? The circumstance of his having
been an object of persecution would serve to account
for the favour shewn him, upon the supposition
that some of the people in the Ministry take the paper
under their protection. He being ostensibly a likely
enough object of ministerial favour, people would
look no farther: and his being ostensibly a proper object,
by would take off a good deal of the odium.

This Paper, when once established in point of credit,
would be of great use in contradicting false reports

For a Title suppose "The landed Intelligencer.
The landed Chronicle or Impartial Post.

It would be of use that bad news should be communicated
to the public through this channel first,
rather than through any other. The communicating
bad news sooner earlier than those virulent papers could do, which
hunt after nothing else, would lend in a considerable
degree to supplant them in the favour of the public:
it would be foiling them at their own weapons. By
this means to it will be convey'd to the public without
exaggeration.
