PROSPECTUS
FOR THE THIRD VOLUME OF THE
GIBRRTY ADVOCATE.
JAMES NJ. SMILEY, Eaitor.

i Notwithstanding the unparalleled pressure,
which for the last twelve months, has crampod
and trammcled every depart ment Of the Me-
chanlcaI, Agricultural and Commercial com.
munity, the unwearied and interchangeable ener
gIes OF American enterprise, are once more
giving evidenceof u higher and fairer prospect
beIoreus. That quiesceni attribute, which, Tor
time, seemed to mark and designate our
downward procivity to carelessness and indf
terence, has fortunately awakened from its
sluggish apathy; and partially disin,hralled
from the fatal influence of TOO blind credu
lily in the infalibility Of those whom we have
elevated above Us, may we not still indulge the
hope, that there is yet held in reserve, hap.
py result in the experiment of this last and
once purest OF Republics9
lnslgated, in part, by that grand revolution
which has already commenced, and whichls
still gong on in the opinion OF the people, 50
lar as respects the political relations existing
between the respective States and the FEEDER
al Government, the present Proprietor sabout
10 embark in the publication Of the Liberty
Advocate
Two years ago, this journal dated tsorigln,
ut period when, in this County, It had many
dlihcultles to encounter, and the strongest op-
position TO contend with. The enduring, ana
as we conceive, orthodox principles, whicn
have nurtured and sustained the journal through
good and through evil report" had then IN
their infancy, but mere minority which Sns'
tanned il. But, the resistless march OF human
reason, before whose advance oil obstacles
must ultimately recede, has brought about .
brighter and fairtr dawn; and the phIan'
lhropist and the patriot can now look IN pro-
speciive upon the revisit Of those purer days
which once pointed to the destiny OF our much
beloved country.
The political creed Of the Advocate Will %
he same which it has heretofore advocated.
State Rights and STATE Sovereignty, will DC the
Irtera action which shall give life and amin
Itlon to its political character.--But, whl'S "a
rcising tenacity for those principles wn,vp
will never yield to caprice, the columns q snls
ournal will, at AL times, be open TO hue,a'
discussion, and offered as ready chahhel 70 'ne

DANIEL WEBSTER A SPoRTsMAN.--Our irend
Porter, of the Spirit of the Times, makes gu,
Daniel Webster a different sort OF a man from
what large portion olthe people IN this conn
try suppose him to he. lie finishes II c0mpi-
men'arv notice of him in this wise: but Mr..
Webstcr possesses other character which
have especially won our regard and attach
ment, and impefled US to this paragraph. He
is a sportsman, and as such we homer him; he
is one of the best shots in the States; he is as
destructive TO woodcocks as TO his adver saries
in debate; al English Snipe" shooting, he has
hardly a conpeer. Quail make huge circuits
To AVOID his demcsnes, from october till Janua-
ry, save when wintry blasts drive them from
their quiet haunts in the woods, and remind
them OF The protector who fed Them The prece-
ding winter.
"But more than all, Mr.. Webster is an an
glcr, an humble disciple of lzaak Walton. -
Show me the man who loves trou,-hshing, and
| will tell you who is generous, and brave, aud
tcnder-hearted. Such man ia Mr.. Webster.
and as such we do love him more, even, than
we respect him for his greatness and integrity"
