I have tried to show that it would be an advantage, since it would bring together men of different conditions and opinions, and would offer a new field for intellectual development.

...Warren answered for "The Board of '75." He said that if the editors from '75 were not the parents of the paper, they were its wet-nurses, and they left it now with sincere regret. In replying for "The Advocate Board," Mr. Isham assured us once more of that good-will which it is the wish of both papers may exist always, as it has in the past, between the Advocate and the Magenta...
