LINCOLN AND LINCOLNSHIRE NEWPAPERS.
ON FRIDAY, the Second day of January, 1835,
will be published No. I. of the LINCOLN GAZETTE,
or the Lincolnshire Farmer's Advocate and Advertiser (with which
the Stamford News will be incorporated), at the Office, in the City
of Lincoln, and may be had from any Bookseller or Newsvender in
the Kingdom.
This Journal is intended to be a real Lincolnshire Newspaper,
devoted to the interests of the County of Lincoln, and published in
the Capital Town.
At present the great division of Lindsey must send its intelligence
and advertisements to a distance, from some parts, of nearly 100
miles, to Stamford,a town belonging almost as much to Northampton
as to Lincoln, at a great sacrifice of time, expense, and convenience.
Many Gentlemen deeply interested in the prosperity and honour
of the County, think that Lincolnshire can support a Newspaper of
its own. They think, too, that the people of Lincolnshire ought to
have an organ of their opinions and advocate of their interests in
their own County Town. Without such a journal as the LIN-
COLN GAZETTE proposes to be, the County would in a short
time be left to two Newspapers, one of which possesses no original
articles upon the momentous matters that affect the County and
Country, and the other, being notoriously the organ of a nearly an-
nihilated faction, the leaders of which build their hopes of return
to arbitrary power and profligate expenditure, upon the blunders of
their opponents, or the ignorant precipitancy of those whom ultra-
politicians may cajole.
It is thought that this great county ought not to be without a
Newspaper, avoiding these extremes, but devoted to the advance-
ment of liberal principles, the investigation of public measures, the
enforcement of truth, justice, and the common good ; the especial
advocate of the Agriculturist, the determined defender of those
great
principles upon which the Magna Charta of our liberty is
built, the supporter of such eventual changes and reforms as ought
to be consequent upon the increasing intelligence of the people, yet
the equally determined opponent of foolish or factious theories,
dvuitnddrsi a stepsi
p to
eriod experiments, and measures calculated to produce con-
or revolution, instead of leading by safe and temperate
the greatest good of the greatest number." Never
exist when the Agricultural interest required bold and
unripe
intrepld advocates more than the present. Theories are maintained
by active, subtle, and concentrated bodies, which, if adopted, would
inevitably ruin the farmer, and with him all those inhabitants of
towns dependant upon his custom for their chief means of subsist-
ence—theories which would throw a vast proportion of the laud of
England into that state of bog, morass, and sterility, from which it
has been reclaimed at an immense expenditure of labour and ca-
pital—theories which would convert the yet healthy and compara-
tively moral peasantry of the rural districts into the izimoral,
and sickly inmates of vast factories in
squalid,
crowded neighlythzr-
hoods, and the whole for the lottery-like possibility of increasing
beyond other nations in manufacturing, an advantage, which when
gained, as experience teaches us, very soon makes itself wings and
flies away.

The LINCOLN GAZETTE will be most especially the farmer's
advocate. It will publish his wrongs and assert his rights, and
while it calls upon the legislature to listen to his claims, it will be
equally strenuous in enforcing the reduction of rents, the non-era-
sion of the corn laws, and the abolition or commutation of tithes.
Before however stating what it will do, it may be as well to state
what it will not do.

First. It will not lend itself to any party, faction, or exclusive
interest in politics; it will not advocate unsafe or merely experi-
mental and hazardous changes ; on the other hand, it will not plead
antiquity," "prescription," " conservatism," or any other solemn
fallacy to sanction and perpetuate cbusfs, corruptions, and crafty
usurpations ;_in
ompt,

which
asch common
politics,mmo n sit
e ns
ewi
willdefend
no al
laugh,
t l t patriot-
ismaotrfor theconsequences of which experience will not weep.
Secondly. In promoting the reformation of what may be wrong
in our ecclesiastical institutions, it will not attack Christianity itself
.;
it Will indulge in no heartless sneers or hollow sarcasms upon a reli-
gion too simple for the pseudo philosopher, too severe for the har-
dened profligate ; it will not offend any Christian's eye when it may
happen to point out the weak or worthless parts of systems or esta-
blishments.
Thirdly. In maintaining its opinions it will indulge in no perso-
nalities; those whose diseased minds induce them to read news-
papers wherein the private lives of their political opponents may be
maligned or ridiculed, will find no food for their spleen in the
LINCOLN GAZETTE.
Having stated what it will not do, let us now see what it will do.
First. Its politics will be liberal supporting all practical reforms,
yet open to every party without fear, fee, or favour.
Secondly. It will be especially the Farmers' Paper, fighting his
battles, opening his eyes to the scandalous evasions of the Corn
Laws, and not allowing him to be blindfolded and ruined for the
furtkerane• of fancied improvements or experiments in other in-
terests.
Thirdly. Published in the heart of the County,
it
will mo
re
'speedily speedily than could ever yet be effected,
receive send back
e local intelligence, from and to every village and hamlet in the Shire.
Fourthly. Arrangements have been made with the Editor of " The-
Sun" and other papers, to get expresses of every event of importance,
so that such intelligence may be published 24 hours before its usual
arrival.
Fifthly. Partie::is accounts of all great Markets will be received
by express fro:„
Sixthly% It will have two Editions, one to suit the north :Jail
London, Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Ece.
and tlto other the south Mail, so that it can give the latest news to
the whole of its readers.
Seventhly. It will be supported by Shareholders, who live in
cientlevery parr
tlar of the County, and who have subscribed a Capital suffi-
ylarge to make it the most complete Newspaper ever pub-
lished in Lincolnshire.
Eighthly. As it is probable that the Duty on Newspapers will be

repealed
. next Session, its price will be immediately reduced at least alf
