Of the democratic principles" they are nothing more

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 edifce Of the British laws. In
future numbers OF this paper it will be the duty of its

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 the Of wealth, regardless of the ties
Of civil restraint, reared in the Lazarhouses of over
taxed and discontented parishes, hated and detest-
ed from their youth TO their maturity, these vast
hordes of modern Huns place their feet upon soil
ignorant OF cnstoms-rcgardess Of our laws, ann
careless Of those great uniting qualities that bind
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-
ters Of the earth. Its eoquence rings in The coGgre
gated councils of nations and it speaks a Prophet
and Preacher, to the oppressed Of all cmes. It's
influence is felt in proportion to the it advo-
cafes. All times have tested lis power-all causes
have acknowledged its aid and it is proposed,
that the Of country and our countrymen,
should be supported and made manifest through this
great organ.
The times rife for purpose. The system
with England to flood this country has proved Of ad
vantage to her taxed landholdcrs-her impoverished
parshas--to her government-her aristocracy, and
heI king. Her ministry have determined to eradicate
an evil, not by the enactment Of saIutary law but
by the perpetraon cf 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 Sc
cure 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 dcsecrating tide, will be our
high and chefest aim, and appeal to the well udg-
ing of all parties, to aid in the undertaking. In this
cause we recognise no minor creed We look not
the mansion Of our President. with Tn ambition to
place any particular individual there; but our eyes
will he kept steadfast the rock of American prnci-
pies. We will see nothing bur the banner Of ma
tive land, streaming over the confines Of cur
country, ana 70 our ears Will come no prayer,
than the trne 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
are willing and ready to pay the highest tribute Of
nerted respect to the literature Of other lands
will not do it at the expense Of native, whose works
read, because he has not the stamp of Muir
ray his title page, the appreciation of Black
wood on the outside Of his volume. We will
not carry the Of principles against the shrines
Of genius-they sacred. most peculiarly so our
heart, and are above the changing phases of the po-
litical dramas.
Domestic and current inte lgence shall be regular
ly gven 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 trans
pire at the Seat of Government. In no instance will
party politics be allowed to bias the editorial pen but
men will be treated with impartiality and opinion
with the utmost and most delicate respect.
