y, EalAEa vaON, would respectfully
announce to the old patrons Of the Wes.
tern Courier, and the public, that in
compliance with the solicitations ofmany
valued friends, he has been induced to
make arrangements for resuming the
publication the Western Courier at Ra-
VIENNA = the first number of the New Sc.
ries to be issued the first week in April.
1t was deemed quite necessary to the
dissemination Of correct political intelIi-
gence TO The people Of this large and
populous county, that der ocratic paper
should be sustained in the county, and the
county seat was deemed the most laSora-
bic location.
In rcsuming this paper al this time, so
ualavorabIe ior the prosecution Of business
with limited pecuniary means, we are
compelled to rely on the liberal support
of our democratic friends to sustain Us,
presuming however that many others,
whose politics may not accord with ours,
are disposed to encourage fair hearing
Of both sides Of the great questions now
before the people.
OF the character Of the paper it is not
deemed necessary to say much in this
prospectus. 1t will be essentially as be-
fore under our superintendent = medi-
um of news and correct general intelli.
gence devoted also TO agricultural, me-
chancaEand scientific improvement, and
will give Democratic principles and mea"
sures Il fair and candid support. Our
political opinions remain unchanged..--
The leading measures Of the late and pre-
sent National administrations have our
cordial approval. In State politics, we
advocate an efficient reform in the pre-
semi corrupt system Of banking, econo-
my in the management of the public
funds and in general, Legislative non-in-
,terleyence 10 control and thwart the hon
icstsbusiness operations Of the people.

THE New -SEaIEs.-On commencing new
aeries Of the Western Courier. after sus.
Psnsiokoffye months, an with charge of
editors, some remarks from us may be expects
ed.
Our preface will however, be short. 1t is
now one year and FIVE months since we reti-
red from this paper, having just then finished
the performance Of our pnrt of the labors Of
the political campaign that resulted in the
election Of Van Buren and Johnson.
A Mr. Selby, who succeeded us, conducted
the paper one year, and retired, and the pa
per was suspended. observing the vacancy,
and the obvious necessity existing for dem
ocratic paper. as medium of correct intelli>
gence for the people Of this large and p"pu
(ous county, we we're induced, after waiting
several months, to heed the calls.of our friends,
and make an attemptto supply the medium of
intelligence required.
This paper is the commencement, and
f.Ssnis AM the
people to sustain US, or otherwise to let US
fall. We cannot continue without patrons.
end they should be patrons indeed.
n As regards the course we shall pursue, and
the future character ofthe paper, we must re-
for readers to our former course, and 10 the
prospectus published in this. For the rest,
we design to make but few promises, but the
paper will show for itself. Our object will be
public utilty--to promote the best interests
ofsociety. To do that we shall endeavor to
cultivate the spirit of peace, amty and good
Y fellowship among our friends, and in society.
While we shall endeavor to promote truth
amp expose error in politics, we shall avoid
being drawn into neighborhond and personal
quarrels, and disputes, about matters foreign
1he general purposes of our paper.

GFWe have resumed the publication
of this paper with the confident cxpccta-
ton that subscribers will pay more
promptly than has usually been customa-
ry for subscribers to country papers.
The sentiment has been too prevalent,
that printers could do without their pay.
But we think we can discover, on that
subject, salutary charge progressing in
public sentiment. Indeed, many have
given us assurances Of paying in advance
and we expect many more will do it,
We depend on it.
We know of no good reason Why prn.
ters should wait years for their pay, when
other mechanics and farmers must haze
prompt pay for their labors' Wa sie-
cerely hope that all who can, Twill adopt the
pay down principle = say half yearly in
advance.
" We send thi&paper to most OF
the old standingSsuDscribcrs of the Wes-
tern Courier, to whom we have before
sent, and would respectfully solicit their
renewed patronage.
Those who have not renewed their
subscriptions, and who do not choose to
patronizo US, are respectfully solicited 10
carefully return the paper, with no other
writing on i! but the name, as we expect
to want all The spare papers.
