and the principles upon which it is to be cond,ct

Is first to irake paper source ofprofirto oucs

est aud happiness Of those who patronage U.S.
We will endeavor to make our paper profitable
and interesting TO our patrons, by the discus.
son and eucilation Of those subjects, which viii
be most interesting and useful to them. These
subjects we suppose to be those relating TO tho
great agricultural interest of the country--Th,
sound moral principles Of the community
short. the itcllectua. improvement Of the great o
ny of rcopir upon all subjects affecting their
hapriness ard prosperity. Our political PRINCIPLES
are those entertained ly Washington and ,Jefrer-
sun IN favor of j9st and strict construction Of
the Constitution. We helsevctha all powers noe
granted 10 the Federal Government, are reserved
10 the States or 10 TIM People; and that all yio;a
tons OF the reserved rights of the States. is vi
olation Of the Constitution and dangerous usp.
naten on the part ofNthc Federal Government.
Inc present situation of our country affords mel
ancholly example cf the consequences of the En-
ec,'tive throwing aside the Constitution and disre
rardng all the checks and restraints which that
Constitution had Imposed on him, and acting viii,

Unfortunate Accident - On Saturday ere
ming last, while the night car which runs be-
between philadelp phia and Lancaster was
proceeding to the latter place, about two miles
from the inclined plane, it was run down by a
locomotive with dreadful conclusion. The
passengers were all more or less injured, Mr.
Scofeld, cf Lancaster, we regret to learn, who
was returning from Philadelphia, was eerlous.
~ hurt. One of the horses was killed, and
the car itself almost shattered to pieces. while
the locomotive was thrown entirely Off the
track. The grade is rapid about the section
Of tie road on which this accident occurred,
aud the lad who mad the locomotives under his
control found himself utterly unable TO avert
the calamity. Perhaps stronger arm might
have done better.
Another-On the evening OF Friday SINH
lar accident occurred, although with less Sc
r;ous consequences about mile from Lancas-
ter. The locomotive had taken the acrong
track, and ran aioul of a car load of passen
gers near Dillervile. The shock was so great
as to throw the locomotive off the track.
