CATHOLIC NEWSPAPER.
FOR LANCASHIRE.

ON SATURDAY LAST, THE FIRST OF OCTOBER,

was Published, the First Number of the
"LANCASHIRE FREEr PRESS,

AND CATHOLIC NEWS."-

EDITED BY •
STEPHEN J. MEAN Y,

Late of the Liverpool Journal and Daily ''Post ; previously
Assistant Editor and Chief Reporter of the Dublin Freeman's
Journal ; and, hi succession, Editor of the Irish Tribune,:rind

Drogheda Argus

The want of a Catholic, journal in Liverpool and the. great
towns of Lancashire has long been felt and deplored. Whilst
every other interest in the community is 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.

Lancashire has justly been termed the great centre of Catho-
licity in England ; and yet all attempts at establishing a
Catholic journal in. the County have herefofoteproved failures.
The cause of these failures it is beside the • present purpose to
inquire ; they may have resulted from want of capacity, or from
want of capitalf or from-ft-non-appreciation of the-true mission
of a Catholic Press ; but assuredly, the numerous institutions
around us, devoted to religion and education, and erected -by,
the voluntary contributions of the Catholic people, attest that
they cannot be attributed to a want of a Catholic public ;spirit.
Recognising the want, and feeling convineedthatthe Catholic
people of Liverpool, and of Lancashire generally, will -support
a journal devoted to the advocacy of their rights, and the de-
fence of their principles, the Editor of the " LANCASHIRE FREE
PRESS" enters the field, resolved to make the proposed journal
a thoroughly independent organ of Catholic interests—not to
permit it to be the slave or the sycophant of party or faction,
and to base his hope of success solely oa the condition of de-
serving it.
"THE LANCASHIRE FREE PRESS" will honestly and fearlessly
advocate Catholic interests at home and abroad ; all questions
of local and general importance shall be discussed on the
broadest grounds, and with calmness and forbearance to those
who may dissent from its views. The triumph-of its-principles
shall be sought to be obtained only by appealing to the under-
standing, the reason, and the moral feelings of its readers. No
vulgar abuse, no degrading personalities shall 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 perfect , equality, with all,
other sections of her Majeaty's subjects. ; ' • - •
To the Irish people—those of Irish birth and of Irish race
resident in Lancashire, the new journal must- be -peculiarly
acceptable. Labouring to keep alive home loves and home
memories, it will strive at the same time to inculcate the novo'
.cluties that appertain to the land in which they live. Catholic
Education, and _Religious Fipi.lity for-the Irish people,-shall
be stgenuously advocated. Upon those Irish questions which
are so misunderstood in this country, "THE LANCASHIRE FREE
Pates" will endeavour to create a sound public opinion—and
seeking to remove the prejudices, national and religious, that
unhappily exist, thus hasten the solution of the 4i Irish diffi-
culty."

Literature, Scienee, and 'Art shall forni prominent features
in the arrangements of "THE FREE, PRESS;" and while thus
giving the new journal a high tone, rigid care will be taken .to
exclude from'its columns indeeent advertisementsand reports,.
and everything which could impair its usefulness as a CATEO-
LIC FAMILY PAPER. _ _

The important question drEdubittiOiralll ifs bearings, and
its intimate connection with the social and moral elevatioa,of
the working classes, will receive from the " LANCASHIRE Fnts
PRESS" the attention which theme its of -so grave a subject
eminently entitle it to. _ r

The prOgress and proceedings of the Catholic Young Men'g
Society will be amply recorded, and 'the eolunins of the
journal will be ever open for the proper discussion of all
questions of Catholic interest in reference tdAthae. gfeat
organisation ; thus affording an opportunity of bringing nut
the intellect and intelligence of the Catholic young men of
Liverpool, Manchester, and the other greatalyniiilof Lanca-
shire,— Our Christian Doctrine Confraternities, our Societies
()Ult. Vincent de- Paul, and other-religious; Asqoniations,:shall:
receive a due share of attention. _ .

The— " LANCASHIRE FREE PRESS" will have correspondents
in London and Dublin, and in the principal towns: of Lalica-;
shire and Cheshire, and some of the,alidest Catholic writers of
the day will be numbered amongSt its contributorS.
The commercial and manufacturing interests of Lancashire
will be duly attended to ; and market intelligence. up to the
_latcalumr of going to press will be regularly chronicled.
Appealing to a large audience, and representing an influen=
tial community, it must necessarily have a great circulation,
and will, therefore;lie-alceiteellelit diedium for advertisements.

The "LANCASHIRE FREE PRESS" will be a full-sized Kews-'
paper of eight pages and forty-eight columns. It will be pub-
lished every Saturday in Liverpool, Manchester, Preston,
Blackburn, Wigan, Warrington, St. Helen's, and other tovnis
of Lancashire, and will be delivered at the residence of sub-
scribers for Us. per annum ; stamped, 17s. Gd. ; single copies
procured from 'lmm-enders, 3d. each.
