AND
SOUTH LANCASHIRE HERALD
PROSPECTUS.

TN bringing before the Public the principles upon which
their proposed new Journal will he conducted, (of the
appearance of which intimation was given some months since,)
the Proprietors of 66 THE LIVERPOOL FREEMAN" have
first to state the grounds upon which they have come to the
conclusion that such an addition to the Conservative press
of their town is required or advisable.
It is perfectly true that the great party, upon whose support
they throw themselves, are already provided with three able
and well-conducted organs. The Standa, 11, the Courier,
and the Mail have nobly supported, and they trust will con-
tinue to support, the cause of order, religion, and sound
constitutional principles in this favoured borough. To their
spirit-stirringappeals to the loyalty of theirfellow-townsmen—
to their bold denunciations of the opponents of the great

cause in which they are embarked-,we owe, under Provi-
dence, the prostration of a local tyranny which, but a few
years ago, threatened to trample us under its feet—we owe
the rescue of valued Institutions from a reckless perversion
of their uses to party purposes—we owe, in fine, the distin-
guished privilege of being able to boast to the Constituencies
of the Empire that the Borough of Liverpool, parliamentary
and municipal, is alike thoroughly Conservative, devotedly
loyal, and determinedly ENGLISH !

Still, however, there exists, they are prepared to contend,
a void in the ranks of the Conservative press of Liverpool, by
the filling up of which the spread of sound constitutional
principles may be infinitely extended. A crying void too it
is—not one which has only, at the present hour, been disco-
vered, but which has long and loudly made itself known.
The Conservative cause, not only in Liverpool but through-
out the South of Lancashire, requires A WEEKLY ORGAN
which shall devote itself to the advocacy of Conservative
Interests throughput the District to which its circulation is
proposed to extend—which may be read, with profit and in-
terest, in the families of the Landed Proprietor and the Far-
mer, as well as in those of the Merchant, the Shipowner, the
Tradesman, and the industrious Operative.
It is not, however, solely because there is space and a
career of usefulness for an additional Weekly Conservative
organ amongst us that the proprietors of " THE LIVERPOOL
FREEMAN" step forward to offer their services to the Con-
servative Public. Had this been the case, they would, per-
haps, have deferred to the claims of those of their brother
journalists who already ably, if not so fully as could be
wished, preoccupy the ground. The undeniable fact has
been brought before their notice, that the want of such a
journal as they propose is daily contributing to spread,
amongst a large and valuable class of our community, those
noxious principles which, more than any other, it should be
the study of every lover of his race to discourage and put
down. Whig-Radicalism, under all, its different degrees of
dilution, possesses its five Weekly Newspapers, which are
thrown into every Newsroom—into every Tavern—into the
families of tradesmen, shopkeepers, and mechanics, often
for the sole reason that they contain, in one sheet, the
whole news of the week ; whilst to procure the same
amount of news, in a more detailed and valuable shape, two
Standards or three Mails must be purchased. Conserva-
tism, on the other hand, has but one Weekly organ—the
Courier of Wednesday—and thus, at the close of the week,
hundreds of Conservatives, who cannot afford the outlay re-
quired for the purchase of the existing Conservative papers,
arc driven to nauseate upon the ribaldry of Popish-Radical
and Dissenting organs, to hear their Protestant principles
anathematised, their Church and her observances ridiculed,
and those great Interests, Agricultural, Colonial, Maritime,
and Commercial, by whose growth in prosperity England
has grown to be the mistress of the world, attempted to be
laid prostrate at the feet of a grasping and tyrannical mill-
covey.

By the Agricultural population, most of them Conserva-
tives, who visit our markets with produce every Saturday,
and who take home with them each some one of our weekly
organs, the want of a Saturday's Conservative Paper is par-
ticularly felt. From the Hundred of Wirral alone, some
hundreds of farmers and dairymen attend our town on that
day. Probably ten thousand Agriculturists in the neigh-
bourhood receive their mental food from the press of Liver-
pool; and yet these parties are now compelled to introduce
into their families some one of the journals in question.

To supply this vacancy—to counteract the poison thus in-
fused into the minds of a great portion of the middle and
lower classes—to afford on a Saturday to Conservative Fami-
lies, and especially to those of the Agricultural, Trading, and
Operative Classes, an honest and sound-principled record of
passing events—Taa LtvEnroor. FREEMAN" offers its
pages to the patronage of the Public.
And now a few words—and but a few—upon the principles
which this journal sets out to advocate.
" THE LIVERPOOL FREEMAN" will be CONSERVATIVE in
all things, except in proved abuses—Conservative, especially,
of the old trays of the Constitution—of old local interests—
of the old loyalty, independence, and privileges which have
placed Liverpool the first amongst the Commercial Towns of
the Empire, and which have made her voice, the first in in-
fluence in the Great Council of the Nation.

" THE LIVERPOOL FREEMAN" will also be, firmly and
unalterably, the advocate of The Holy Catholic Church of
England and Ireland, as by law established ; and the enemy
of Innovations, whether made upon her Temporalities, or
upon her pure doctrines and practices—whether made from
without or from within her pale. That Church we shall
support, in all its entireness and in all its efficiency, turning
neither to the right nor to the left, to court the favour or to
disarm the hostility, of any party.
Need its Proprietors say more with respect to their prin-
ciples ? CONSERVATIVE, LOYAL, and PROTESTANT !
Yes—they will here record, in addition, their pledge .that
immorality, profanity, indecency, personal scurrility, false-
hood for party ends, dishonesty, FOR ANY END, shall never
be permitted to sully their pages. They will hold up a shield
before the weak aria the defenceless, but they will never vin-
dicate wrong ! They will strike for the right and strike
hard ; but they will never raise a weapon in an unholy, an
unmanly, or a wantonly unjust cause I With such motives
to influence them—with such determinations to guide them—
if they should perchance err—(and human nature is weak and
fallible)—surely the recording angel will blot out the memo-
rial of their offence, and their fellow-townsmen judge them
with leniency and charity !

" THE LIVERPOOL FREEMAN" will appear on SATUR-
DAY, THE SEVENTH DAY OF JANUARY, and will then be
published regularly every SATURDAY MORNING. It will be
printed upon THE LARGEST DOUBLE SHEET ALLOWED BY
LAW, from THE BEST TYPE, and upon THE BEST PAPER.
It Will contain ALL THE NEWS OF THE WEEK—FAITHFUL
REPORTS OF EVERY OCCURRENCE OF INTEREST, THROUGH-
OUT THE DISTRICT—FULL ANALYSES OF THE PROCEED-
INGS OF THE LEGISLATURE—ORIGINAL LEADING ARTI-
CLES UPON THE I‘IOST IMPORTANT PUBLIC AND LOCAL
TOPICS—REVIEWS OF NEW PUBLICATIONS—ORIGINAL
LITERATURE—SHIPPING NEWS, MARKETS, &C. &C. In
short, it will be the effort of the Proprietors to place before
their readers one of the best, f not THE BEST, of Family
Weekly Conservative Journals, embracing Politics, Litera-
ture, and News; which Great Britain possesses. That they
will succeed in doing this they do not say ; but they will at
least make the attempt : and they now entreat the Conserva-
tive Public to give them, all that honest men need ask—
A FAIR TRIAL

Subscribers' Names and Advertisements will be received
by Mr. C. DAVIES, Bookseller, North John-street.
