In the establishment of a daily paper it
was proposed,
1. That it should be perfectly independent of
all parties, and strictly impartial, [while professing the
great and general principles of liberty. +]

of the proprietors should be able to contribute
literary assistance, and to conduct the business.
7 That such proprietors as should only furnish
