emgrants. 1t is nonsense talk OF their innate love
OF the "democratc principles" they are nothing more
less than the materials with which factious leaders
in England had determined to uproot society; over
| throw peace and government; track the land with
their bloody footsteps, and polute every consecrated
avenue leading to the edfce Of the British laws. In
future numbers of this paper, will be the duty Of its
conductor to substanate these charges by proofs de-
rived from English writers, and explain the anomaly
Of civilized country deluging land with which it
is peace, by treaty and interest with the most terri
BILE means of legal and political destruction.
Leaving their own land trembling with the electric
elements of great political storm, branded by the
good and patriotic, destitute of principle, anxious for
power as the means of wealth, regardless Of the ties
Of civil restraint reared in the Lazarhouses of
taxed and discoDtented parishes, hated and deest-
ed from their youth to their maturity, these vast
hordes of modern Huns, place their feet upon our SOIL
ignorant Of customs-regardless of our laws and
careless of those great uniting qualities that bind US
| together united and happy people.
To counteract evil influence arising from whatever
cause the public press has been found at all times
since the glorious of its discovery an efficient
agent Its influence goes forth upon the four winds of
heaven, and its high voice is heard in the four quar-
of the EARTH Its eloquence rings in the congre-
gated councils of nations, and speaks Prophet
and Preacher, to the oppressed of all cimes. Its
influence is felt in proportion to the cause. it advo-
caes All times have tested its power-all causes
have acknowledged its aid, and it is proposed,
that the Of our country and our countrymen,
should be supported and made manifest through this
great organ.
The times are rife for purpose. The system
with England to food this country, has proved of ad
vantage to her taxed landhodcrs-her impoverished
parishes-to her goveInment-her aristocracy, and
heI king. Her ministry have determined to eradicate
evil, not by the enactment of salutary law, but
by the perpetration Ct an outrage and an injury The
other nations of Europe and the Eastern World, will,
and following her example. India and China will
doubtless take the epidemic of emigration, and
themselves against the chances of plague, the
filthy victims of the wrath of heaven, will be shipped
to our hospitable shores.
To help to stay this desecrating tide, will be our
high and chefest aim and we appeal to the well yudg
ing of all parties, to aid in the undertaking. In this
cause recognise minor creed. We look not at
the mansion of our President, with on ambition to
place any particular individual there; but eyes
will be kept steadfast the rock of American princ
pies. We will see nothing but the banner Of
tive land, streaming the extreme confines Of
country, and to our will come no other prayer,
than the true American worship, around the altar Of
American liberty.
The minor objects Of the paper will be the advance
ment of our own indigenous literature; and while we
willing and ready to pay the highest tribute of
merted respect to the literature Of other lands,
will not do it at the expense of native whose works
are not read, because he has not the stamp Of Muir
ray on his title page or the appreciation of a Black
wood on the outside cover Of his volume. We will
not carry the Of our principles against the shrnes
Of genius-they sacred, most peculiarly to
heart and above the changing phases of the po-
lca dramas.
Domestic and current intelligence shall be regular
ly given, in short and agreeable manner.
The proceedings Of Congress will be condensed,
and sketches Of speeches and speakers given during
the session, with lively outline Of events they
pire at the Seat Of Government. In no instance will
party politics be allowed bias the editorial pen, but
men will be treated with mpartiality, and opinion
with the utmost and most delicate respect.
