text_original: It seemed good unto me to support James G. Bir  ney, for President, and to promulgate the principles of the platform on which he stood in the last election. Reception of The Yisitee. 113 This I would do, and no man had the right or power to stop me. My paper was a six column weekly, with a small Eoman letter head, my motto, " Speak unto the children of Israel that they go forward," the names of my candidates at the head of the editorial column and the platform inserted as standing matter.
