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, Commercial. and Scien-
tic information, but TO embody the usual variety
which is found in FAMILY NEWSPAPER.
In Politics, the paper will be thoroughly Wing.
The Editor i'll respec! doubts the election of
GENERAL HARRISON to the Presidency, and a. little
doubts that the Of his administration will be
such to deserve the support of the Republican
party, OF which 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, and will 90 so, to the extent of his
capacity, and the acquiescence Of his Judgment.
As the name he has chosen intended to in
dIcate, his paper will ''nERALD" alike the wrongs
and the virtues of the world around it-regurdess
Of whom it may effect. in praise or in censure. A
Newspaper, on any other principle, is msnomer
and mockery
The untiring zeal with which the Democratic
party in this State carried on the war in our late
eectiOns-t ogether with the vany, industry, and
the celebrity with which they carried into execution
! their plans, will remain as an alarming and an en-
during monument of Democratic enterprise! Like
/ the tabled Dragon, which is said never TO close his
lidless eyes, the stirring aud pfering spirit of De-
mocracy, slumbers (f at alD with Enclosed eyes
The base, contemptble, and false-hearted fiatery
with which these political hypocrites attempt to in
sinuate themselves into favor; and the skill with
| 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,
must all be laid naked before the gaze of an honest
an unSusp ectng but heretofore deluded people. In
one word, the time has again approached, when we
must all enter upon great political contest Like
that through which we have lust passed in our
State it will be contest Of principle against po,cer
contest of The PeoPe against the gDIce-hOlderS. We
are none of thUse who indulge in gloomy anticipa-
ton. We do not despair of the Republic. Our
trust is strong that lie gallant ship, in which all
our hopes embarked, will yet outride the storm
saved alike from the breakers and pillows of dis,
union, and the greedy whirpool-the all enguph-
ing muleslrOotns of executive power-that un.
broken if not unframed, she may pursue her pros
porous voyage 70! down the stream Of time; an
that the banner Of our country, which now waves
over us proudly, will still float in triumph--borne
on the winds Of heaven, famed by the breath OF
fame every stripe bright and unsullied every star
fixed inits sphere ages after each of US shall have
ceased to gaze on its majestic folds forever.
We shall commence and continue the good fight,
till error, sick with contradiction, and crazed with
a superabundance of inconsistency, shall be seen
flying to talSehood a remedy, and expiring from
the venom of its own fangs. We will continue the
warfare, till the night of superstition shall pass
away-,he purple morn of reason shall dawn-the
ints Of truth uppear--and the gloomy msts fade in
the distance, and sink below the horizon to rise nc
more!--rill the haowed name of Liberty, more
fragrant than the Spring gales Of Arabia, more
bulmy than Gilead's air, thrills the bosom where
despair once revelled, and Whispers "gooa tidipgs
for all mankind" 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
Tory's hell
TO all those who value the liberty we yet enjoy
the privileges bequeathed to us by our heroic
e sires, let them Immediately step forward and lend
2 their aid to the "HERALD."
0~-If encouraged according to the expectation Of
his friends the Editor will shortly feel justified in
ordering his materials and commencing his enter
prise, He desires to do so speedily as 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.

handsomely printed, and furnished at three dollars
in advance, four dollars at the end of the year.
