SALT RIVER HERALD.

Under this title the undersigned proposes TO pub
fish, in the Town Of Paris, Monroe County, Mis-
souri,, Weekly journal, to be devoted principally
to Political, Agricultural, Commercials and Sciea-
tlfc information, but to embody the usual variety
which is found in FAMILY NEWSPAPER
In Politics, the paper will be thoroughly Wing
The Editor in respect doubts the election of
GENERAL HARRISON to the Presidency, and as little
doubts that the course Of his administration will be
such as to deserve the support Of the Republican
party, of whicn he is member. If so, it shall
have his He will be pleased, also, TO act with the
same enlightened party in reference to measures of
State policy, aud will 90 so, to the extent of his
capacity, and the ocquiescence Of his judgment.
As the name he has chosen was intended to in
dIcate, his paper will "HERALD" alike the wrongs
and the virtues Of the world around it--regardless
of whom it may effect, in praise or in censure. A
Newspaper, on any other principle, is Il nisnomer
and a mOckery.
The untring zeal with which the Democratic
party in this State, carried the war in our late
elections-togeher with the villany industry, and
the CELEBRITY with which they carried into execution
their plans, will remain an alarming and an en-
during monument of Democratic enterprise Like
the iabled Dragon which is said never to close his
ldess eyes, the stirring and pilfering spirit of De-
mOCracy, slumbers Of at alb with Enclosed eyes
The base, contemplate, and fase-hearted lattery,
with which these political hypocrtes attempt to in
sinuate themselves into favor; and the skill with
which these pandererS and parasites-these syco-
| plants and demagOgueS Of Democracy, manage to
get upon the blind side of human nature, and to
| take an advantage of its weakness and passions,
aust all be laid naked before the guze of an honest,
an unsuspecting, but heretofore dcluded people. In
| one word, the llne has again approached, when VIC
! must all enter upon great political contest. Like
that through which we have Just passed in our
State, it will be contest of principle against pocer
a contest Of the people against the oytce-tOagrS We
N.rl 1,,Ir
ton. We do not despair of the Republic. Our
trust is strong, that the gallant ship, in which all
| our hopes are embarked, will yet outrde the storm
| saved alike from The breakers and pillows of dis
union, and the greedy whiripUol-the all enguIph-
ing maleStrUomS Of executive puwer-that UNI
broken, if not unframed, she may pursue her pros
| porous voyage far down the stream Of time; m
that the banner Of our country, which now waves
over proudly, will still float in triumph--borne
on the winds Of heaven, famed by the breath of
fame, every stripe bright and unsulled, every star
fixed Units sphere, ages after each of us shall have
ceased to gaze on its maj este folds forever
We shall commence and continue the good fight,
till error, sick with contradictions and crazed with
a superabundance of Inconsistency, shall be seen
flying to tasehood as q remedy, and expiring from
the venom of its own iangs. We will continue the
warfare till the night Of superstition shall pass
away--the purple morn of reason shall daNn--the
tints of truth appear-and the gloomy mists fade in
the distance, ara SILK DelOW the horizon TO rise no
more--'rll the haiIowed name of Liberty, more
fragrant than the Spring gales of Arabia, more
balmy than Gilead's air, thrills the bosom where
despair once reveIed, and whispers, "gOoa tidiReS
for all mGniild" In word, we trust, we shall
not relax our efforts, till trophies of victory, in
smiles and peace, deck the browS of those who once
were saddened with doubt and uncertainty and
sunk with political sorrows, to the depths Of a
TUrys hell.
To all those who value the liberty we yet enjoy
the privileges bequcathed to us by our heroic
sircs, let them immediately step forward and lend
their aid to the HERALD
OI5-lf mountaineering to the expectation of
his friends the Editor will shortly feel justified in
ordering his materials and commencing his enter
prise. lie desires to do so as speedily possible,
and to this end he respectfully requests gentlemen
into whose hands his prospectus may fall, to exert
themselves to fill them with names, as promptly as
may be, and return him list to Paris.
~ The sheet will be large IMPERIAL one
handsomely printed, and furnished at three dollars
in advance, or four dollars at the end Of the year.
