Boon's Lick times. [volume] (Fayette, Mo.) 1840-1848, 1840-09-19
SALT RIVER herald.

Under this title the undersigned proposes TO pub
lish in the Town Of Paris, Monroe County, Mis-
souri,, Weekly journal, TO be devoted principally
to Political, Agricultural, Commercial and Scier-
tifc information, but to embody the usual variety
which is found in FAMILY NEWSPAPER.
In Politics, the paper will be thoroughly Wing.
The Editor in no 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 which he is member. If So it shall
have his. He will be pleased, also, TO act with the
enlightened party in reference to measures of
State policy and will do SO, to the extent of his
| capacity, and the acquiescence of his judgment.
As the name he has chosen was intended to in
dlcate, his paper will "HERALD" alike the wrongs
and the virtues of the world around t--regardless
of whom it may effect, in praise or in censure A
Newspaper, on any other principle, is misnomer
| and mockery.
| The untiring zeal with which the Democratic
party in this State, carried on the war in our late
elections-together with the vlany, industry, and
the celebrity with which they carried into execution
their plans, will remain rs an alarming and an en-
during monument of Democratic enterprise! Like
the tabled Dragon, which is said never TO close his
lidess eyes, the stirring and pfering spirit of De-
Imocracy, slumbers (if at all with Enclosed eyes!
The base, contemplate, and false-hearted fattery,
with which these political hypocrtes attempt to in
snuate themselves into favor; and the skill with
7
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 unsuspecting, but heretofore deluded people, In
one word, the time has again approached, when we
must all enter upon great political contest Like
e that through which we have just passed in our
State, it will be contest of principle against power
# contest Of the people against the ogiceholderS We
are none of those who indulge in gloomy antcipa-
# 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 outride the storm
saved alike from the breakers and pillows of dis,
union, and the greedy whirlpool-the all enguph-
ing maestrooms of executive power--that un-
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 us proudly, will still float in trmph--borne
on the winds of heaven, famed by the breath of
fame, every stripe bright and unsullied every star
fixed Units sphere, ages after each of us shall have
ceased TO gaze on its maj stic 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
d flying to falsehood as a remedy, and expiring from
~ the venom of its own fangs We will continue the
q warfare, till the night of superstition shall pass
n away--the purple morn Of reason shall dawn-the
!, tints of truth appearand the gloomy mists fade in
the distance, and sink below the horizon to rise nc
more!--Till the halowed name of Liberty, more
fragrant than the Spring gales of Arabia, more
balmy than Gilead's air, thrills the bosom where
despair revelled, and whispers, "gooa tidipg,
for all mankind" In word, we trust, we shall
not relax efforts, till trophies of victory, it
smiles and peace deck the brows of those who once
were saddened with doubt and uncertainty, ant
sunk with political sorrows, to the depths of @
Tory's hell.
TO all those who value the liberty we yet enjoy
the privileges bequeathed to us by our heroic
sres, let them Immediately step forward and ent
their aid to the "HERALD."
0FIf encouraged according to the expectation o
his friends, the Editor will shortly feel justified il
ordering his materials and commencing his enter
prise. He desires to do as 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.
