Boon's Lick times. [volume] (Fayette, Mo.) 1840-1848, 1840-10-03
SALT RIVER HERALD.

Under this title the undersigned proposesto pub
fish, in the Town Of Paris, Monroe County, Mis-
souri,, a Weekly journal, to be devoted, principally
to Political, Agricultural Commercial. and Scten-
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 respec! 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
same 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 intended to in
dcate, his paper will "HERALD" alike the wrongs
and the virtues of the world around it-regardess
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 vany, industry, and
the celebrity with which they carried into execution
their plans, will remain as an alarming and en-
during monument of Democratic enterprise! Like
the tabled Dragon, which is said never to close his
idless eyes, the stirring and differing spirit of De-
mocracy, slumbers IF at alD with Enclosed eyes
The base, contemplate, and false-hearted fattery
with which these political hypocrites attempt to in
sinuate themselves into favor; and the skill with
which these panderers and parastes--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
must all be laid naked before the gaze of an honest
an unsuspecting, but heretofore deluded people, In
one wUrd the time has again approached, when we
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 po,cer
contest of the people against the oUce-holderS We
of I'm ind, -.
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 whirpuo--the all engulph-
ing malestroolns Of executive power-that I'M
broken, ii not unframed, she may pursue her pros
porous voyage far down The stream Of time; an
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 unsuied, every star
fixed nits sphere, ages after each Of US shall have
ceased to gaze on its ajestic 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 falseIood as q remedy, and expiring from
the venom of its own fungs. We will continue the
warfare, till the night of superstition shall pass
away--,he purple morn of reason shall dawn-the
tints OF truth appear--and the gloomy mists fade in
uistuhCe, anu SlDh DCOW IHe nOTlZOn 10 rise no
more!--'Eill the hallowed name of Liberty, more
fragrant than the Spring gales of Arabia, more
balmy than Gilead's air, thrills the bosom where
despair revealed, 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
sires let them Immediately step forward and lend
their aid to the HERALD"
0%TIf 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 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

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