yuy HE extensive and growing interests Of the

mands, have awakened attention to the fact that in
this highly Important portion Of our country there

ature and science, advocating the doctrines Of no
party 1890
Feeling the necessity Of such paper, the Jeffer-
an College and Washington Lyceum contemplate

nfipriated TO advertisements and general notices.
the editorial department will be conducted by a
gentleman long known in the community as an a
Bic and spirited editor, whose zeal in subjects Of
literature and science will render him an efficient
director Of such publication.
II viii be remembered that we have work in
the SOUTHWEST similar to the one in tontempla-
ton; and every one who feels pride in any en-
terpriae calculated 10 enhance the SCOTLAND moral
character of our country should come forward and
assistin carrying this worthy enterprise into oper-
alton.

tfrest, make honest effort to advance the inter-
est and hapiin of those who patronize u.s.
We will endeavor to make our paper profitable
and interesting TO our patrons, by the discuss

be most interesting and useful to them. These
subjects we suppose to be those relating to the
great agricultural interest Of the Countrywide
sound moral principles OF the communicate
short, the of the great boz
dy of the people upon all subjects affecting their
happiness and prosperity. Our political principles
are those entertained BY Washington and Jeffer-
SON. In favor Of just and strict construction Of
the Constitution. We believe that all powers not
granted to the Federal Government, are reserved
tn the States or to the People; and that all viola
tons Of the reserved rights of the States, is VIZ

patton on the part Of the Federal Government -

Constitution had imposed on him, and acting with
no other restraint than his own viii and with

CAN ADA.

The late tidings from Canada are distress
sing. The torch ofciyil war is again lighted,
and it seems that Lower Canada is in flame.
Villages are burnt, skirnshes and bloodshcd
daily occurring, aud The danger Of collision
between citizens on our frontiers and their
ncighbors, continually increasing. From one
Of cur officers who has been employed on our
frontier, we learn that such is the anxiety of
those who have risen against the British
Government in Canada, to cmbroil this coun-
try in a war with Great Britain, that there
are serious fcurs entertained that the disut.
fectcd in Canada themselves will illuminate
our villages with contlagration, TO bring on
acts of retaliaton.--Wc sincerely hope that
lniatuatiun has not gone so far on the other
side Of the st. Lawrence, or if it be, that our
own happy cilizens know too well their du-
ties and their interests to be drawn into this
foreign conflict, either by the persuasions or
stratagems Of those who. have raised it. Ger
tainly, no wcll-doing American citizen will
ever allow enthusiasm for either Of the par
ties to II ioleign quarrel, to involve the whole
line Of frontier in scene Of robbery, burning
and bloodshed, and bring on possibly, a war
between nations which may endure for years,
