[M1] “The Philadelphia Press,” The Citizen Soldier, Jan. 19, 1843

The Philadelphia Press.

            We shall at some convenient opportunity, exhibit to our readers, as well as we are able, the actual condition of our city press.  We shall analyse the excellencies and deficiencies of this all-powerful engine, and endeavour, in a spirit of candour and truth, to examine into the claims of some of these public organs to impartiality, independence, and how far they may justly claim a share of public confidence.  In doing this we shall act independently, and however much we may err in judgment, we are certain of bring actuated by honesty of purpose.
