PROPOSALS
For publishing u, Ga!ena. Illinois, a necspa-
per, entitled the
G ALIEN DEMOCRAT.
JOHN TURNEY, EDITOR.

lTO the most superficial observer, it must
Il be apparent that crisis has arrived which
loudly calls for, nay. impcrionsly demands of
the whole Democracy Of the nation a firm,
strenuous, and united eXertion for the main
tenance Of the grand fundamental principles
upon which our happy government was estab-
li:hed. and upon which, alone, it can be per-
petuatcd.
In a local point Of view, the above remark
has peculiar applicability to this southwestern
portion of Illinois: here, for nearly two years
past, the Democracy have been cast into the
back ground, vilificd. abused, and slandcred
by the opposition, and no organ at hand tiro'
which retrbu'ive justice could be sought.
contribute, therefore, TO the Moderation
Of our presen; political sii::aaation, though fee
bile the effort, will be one of the primary OBJ
jects Of the Democrat.
For the promotion Of education, and the Diff
fusion of useful knowledge, the arts and sci
onces. and whatever will contribute to the
greatest COED 0. ,e great number, the Demo-
crat will go as far as he Nho will go farllest.
Religious controversy, persona, vitunera-
ton and abuse, viii find no favor Nth the De-
mocrat.
TERMS---'rhe Democrat will be published
on an extra imperial sheet, once a week, at
three dollars per annum, payable in advance,
or on The delivery Of the FIRST number land for
every three months delay, fifty cents will be
added.
Any person procuring ten subscribers, and
becoming responsible for the same, will be en-
titled to a copy Of the Democrat.
The first number Of the Democrat may be
expected about the 18th instant

Through the attention Of COL Jones, we
have pamphlet copy Of the remarks of Mr.
Webster on the Presumption Bill, Which is
clear and decided in the expression that the
settlers, in every sense Of the word, have a
right to the land improved and occupied. The
position heretofore occupiedby Mr.. w. in re-
gard 10 matters of interest to the west, renders
his aid more efficient than it would have been
under other circumstances. and should have a
good effect ia the House in destroying that
hostility Of feeling towards the settlers which
has. prevented many members Of the New
England States from voting for measures sy-
clusively confined, in its effects, to the west.
The tour of Mr.. Webster on the western
waters last summer has certainly done much
towards changing his feelings favorable to us,
and we doubt not that if others were to visit
the land Of ''squatters" they would find much
to disabnse their minds, and enlis. them in its
favor.
