STEPHEN .1%., BfEANY,
Late' of the Liverpool Journal' and: Daffy Post; previously
Assist=t Editor and Chief Reporter of the Dublin Freeman's
Journal ; and, in succession, Editor orthe Irish Tribune, and
Drogheda -Aires.
The want of a Catholic journal' hi, Liverpool and the great
towns of Lancashire has long beealfett' alit deplored. —Whilst
every 'other Interest in the commtraityis adequately represented
at the press, it is sadly true that the Catholic people have no
special organ—that their public spirit finds no voice—their
principles no exponent—their social and political rights no
defender.•
Lancashike ha's justly been termeeittEe great centre of Catho-
hefty in gngland; and yet all attempts- at establishing a
Catholic jEnfrnal in the county have heretofereproved failures.
Tfle cause of these failures it is besidifthe -iresent purpose to
inquire ; ' they may have resulted from xvantiof capacity, or from
want of Capital, or from a non-appreeiition of the true mission
of a. atholic Press but assuredly, the-numerous institutions
around us, devoted to religion and education, and erected by
the vohnitary contributions of the Catholic people, attest that -
they cannot be attributed to a want of asCatholie public spirit.
Recognising the want, and feeling coarnioettbuttfle Catholic
People of Liverpool, and of Lancashire generally, will support
a journal devoted to the advocacy of theie-rights, and the de-
fence ortheirprinciples, the Editor of the "'Lmscasmann FREE
PRESS "-enters.the field, resolved to make the proposed journal
a thoroughlyindependent organ of Catholibtinterests—not to
permit it tO be the slave or the sycophaaiv-of party or faction,
and to base his-hope of success solely on the' condition of de-
serving it-- •

" THE L-4oNCLERIRE FREE PRESS" will Honestly and fearlessly
advocate Catholic interests at home and abroad ; an questions
of local and general importance shall bb discussed on

who may dissent frari

shall be.sougtit to be obtained only by

orbearanze to those

pealing to the under-

vul Its. readers. No
gar abuse degrading personalities sail ever be permitted
to pollute its-columns; in fine, in-all that concerns its manage-
ment nothing-shall occur unworthy of its mission, viz., to
vindicate Catholic principles, to instruct, unite, and exalt the
people, and to-claim for Catholics perfeet equafity- with all
other sections-of her Majeaty's subjects.
To the Irish petpple—those of Irish birth "and; of Irish race
resident in Lancashire, the new journal muA be peculiarly
acceptable. La.bbnring to keep alive home loves and home
memories, it will strive at the same time td inculcate the new
duties that apriertain to the land in which.they.llve. Catholic
Education, and' Religious Equality for the. Irish people, shall
be strenuously-advocated. Upon those Irish questions which
are so misunderstood in this country, " Tire LAivoitssrcan FREE
PRESS" will endeavour to create a sound. public 'opinion—and
seeking to remove the prejudices, natiomil:and rerrgious, that
unhappily eitist,.. thus hasten the solutimiotthe, " Irish diffi-
culty."

Literature,- Seier..ce, and Art shall form7prominent features
in the arrangenxento of "THE FREE PnEss ;."' and while thus
giving the new journal a high tone, rigid,care wilt be taken to
exclude from its columns indecent advertisements, wad reports,
and everythim4-which could impair its usefulitess,afgaCATFlO-

The importantluestion of Education in all itaArearings, and
its intimate connection with the social and...morat elevation of
the working cassts, will receive from the," LAbic.uscrrrtiz FREE
PRESS" the attention which the merits 0f,,50 graven subjeet
eminently entitle it to.

The prOgress and proceedings of the-Catholic:Young Men's
Society will be amply recorded, omit the columns of the
journal will bb ever open for the proper discussion of all
questions of Catholic interest in reference to that great
organisation ; thus affording an opportunity of bringing out
the intellect and intelligence of the • Catholic young men of
Liverpool, Manchester, and the othor great towns of Lanca-
shire. Our Christian Doctrine Confraternities, our Societies
of St. Vincentde Paul, and other religious associations, shall
receive a due-share of attention.

The " LAICEASTIIRE FREE PRESS" will have correspondents
in• London and Dublin, and in the principal towns of Lanca-
shire and Cheshire, and some of the ablest Crtbolie writers of
the day will be numbered amongst its contrav,tors.
