CARRoLLToN ENQUIRER.

BELIEVING that the wealth nd population
OF Carroll, and the increased and growing impor.
lance OF Carrollton imperiously demand a news
paper as an acceptable vehicle OF information
the undersigned proposes to the good people Of
Carroll county TO publish one under the above
title, which shall meet their wants. Being op
posed to the principles upon which the present
Chief Magis came into power, and believing
that his motto, "Io the pict0rs belong the Sp0ils
Of the rGEquished," is demoralizing and revolu.
tlonary-and that an elevation to that high sta
ton neither consecrates nor purihes principles
the lntelligea GER will firmly oppose the present
Administration so long as it receives its impress
sion from the stamp of Modern Democracy,
while at the same time it will exert its influence
in prostrating the corrupt system Of politicsnow
prcying upon the vitals Of our young Republic.
The political principles of the lntelligencer shall
be strictly those of JEFFERSON, as set forth in the
Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions of '95 g. '99,
and Madson's celebrated Report. These shall
be the basis Of our political creed Believing
that the principle set forth by that apostle OF Lib
erty, Thomas jefferson, yz:-"THAr ALL POW
ERs NOT EXPRESSLY DELEGATED TO TIE GENERAL
GOVERNMENT BY THE CONSTITUTION, ARE RESERVED
TO THE STATES RESPECTIVELY, OR TO THE PEOPLE,
is the true one on which our Government is
founded, and an adage universally receiged-nnd
believing that the right1, REMEDIES, and Liberties
Of the States, without the means Of preserving
them, are mere phantoms, the lntelligencer will
always be found on the side Of enlightened Re.
publicanism, battling against the encroachment.
of Power, and the fearless and incorporating
opposer of every infringement on the liberties
Of tho States. The rights, REMEDIES, and
Union of the States shall be our beacon light 70
guide US in the dark hour of political tempest.
Every effort to bring into disrepute the hallowed
principles Of Jetferson--eyery attempt at dsso.
luton of the Union, will be firmly resisted.
Having thus explicitly stated the political prin.
cipes which will guide and control the lntelligen.
GER, the undersigned will further assure its pct
rons that its columns viii not be entirely devoted
to politics, but every effort will be made to rem.
der it useful and interesting family newspaper.
TERMS.-Ths ENQUIRER will be publish
ed on SUPERFICIAL sheet, on new materials, and
furnished to subscribers at FIVE DOLLARS in
advance, or SIX at the expiration Of the year.
The first number may be expected on the first OF
February, 1883.

In consequence Of the popularity which
our daily paper has gained in all sections
Of the country, and the numerous de.
mands we are receiving from all quarters
for weekly journal, VIC have determined
on starting one Of tina, description, to be
entitled the ''THE WEEKLY PIcAYuNE."
To adopt the same 6gurative style used
in our first prospectus, we have fitted out
the "PicayIne" for more distant voyages,
and freighted her with all sorts Of notions
in the shape of yeadableS; and ifthe same
success attends her which she has met
with while coasting nearer home, we shall
doubtless receive rich returns.
To prepare our little craft for tbs more
extended sea on which she is destined TO
move, we have put on her many additions
and improvements. Some of her old tim
bers have been taken out and replaced by
new--she has greater measurement fore
and aft, greater length Of beam, and her
sheets have been materially enlarged.
Notwithstanding the Increased size, the
public may rest assured that the FPicGyIne'
will be enabled 10 work in st36l eater with
the same facility as heretofore, and form

Notwithstanding the unparalleled pres

OF a higher and tairer proSpec, before US
That qulesccnt attribute, which, for time ,
seemed to mark and designate our down.

Its sluggish apathy; and partially dlsin.
thralled from the fatal influence Of q TOO
blind creduity in the infalibility Of
those whom we have elevated above u.s.,
may we not still indulge the hope, that
there is yet held in reserve, happy re.
suit in the experiment Of this last and
once purest OF RepubIics2
lnstigated, in part, by that grand revol.
utlon which has already commenced, and
which is still going on in the opinion Of
the people, SO tar as respects the political
relations existing between the respective
States and the Federal Government, the
present Proprietor is abou, to embark 10
the publication of the Liberty Advocate.
Two years ago, this journal dated its
origin, at a period when, in this County,
1t had many difficulties to encounter, and
the strongest opposition to contend with.
The endurIng,Sand, as we conceive, ortho
dox principles, which have nurtured and
sustained the journal through "good and
through evil report" had then in their in
fancy, buta mere minority which sustained
1t. But, the rcsis!less march OF human
reason, before whose advance all obsta-
clos must ultimately recede, has brought
about a brighter and a iairtr dawn; and
the philanthropist and the patriot can
now look in prospective upon the re-
visit OF those purer days, which once
pointed to the destiny Of our much be-
loved country.
The political creed ofthe Advocate viii
be the same which it has heretofore aS'
vocated. State Rights and Stale Sousr'
eigRty, will be the arterial action which
shall give life and animation to its polisI
cal character.--But, while exercising 70
nucity for those principles which will new
er yield TO caprice, the columns ofthis jour.
nal will, at all times, be open to liberal
discussion, and offered as ready channel
10 the tide Of passing events, and an 40
,eplable organ of general science and USE
