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-
iFc information, but to embody the usual variety
which is found in FAMILY NEWSPAPER.
In Politics, the paper viii be thoroughly Wing
The Editor in no respec! doubts the election Of
GENERAL HARRsoN 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 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 a misnomer
and mockery.
The untring zeal with which the Democratic
party in this State, carried on the war in our late
elections-together with the villany, 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
dess eyes, the stirring and pilfering spirit of De-
mocracy, slumbers IF at alD with Enclosed ewes
The base, contemplate, and false-hearted fattery,
with which these political hypocrites attempt to in
sinuute 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
must all be laid naked before the gaze of an honest
nm unsuspecting, but heretofore deuded people. In
one word, the time has again approached, when we
must all enter upon great political contest. Like
that through which have Just passed in orr
State, it will be contest Of principle against pocer
contest of the people against the ogtce-hoders. We
are none of thOse who indulge in gloomy anticipa-
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 whrlpUol-the all engulph-
ing malestrUoms Of executive puwer-that un.
broken, if not unframed, She may pursue her pros
| porous voyage far down lie stream of time; an
| that the banner of our country, which now waves
over proudly will still float in trumph--borne
on the winds of heaven, famed by the breath of
fame every stripe bright and unsullied, every star
fixed in its 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 era zed with
a superabundance of inconsistency, shall be seen
| flying TO talsehood as remedy, and expiring from
the venom of its own fangs. We will continue the
warfare, till the night of superstition shall pass
away--the purple morn of reason shall dawn-the
tnts of truth appear--and the gloomy msts fade in
the distance, and sink below the horizon to rise no
more!--'rill the hallowed name of Liberty, more
fragrant than the Spring gales of Arabia, more
balmy than Gilead's air, thrills the bosom where
despair once revelled and Whispers '.gool tidiags
for all mankind" In a 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
Tory's hell.
TO all those who value the liberty we yet enjoy
the privileges bequeathed to us by our heroic
sires, lie. them Immediately step forward and lend
their aid to the "HERALD."
0E-If encouragedaccord 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
~ The sheet will be a large IMPERIAL one
handsomely printed, and furnished at three dollars
in advance, or four dollars at the end of the year.
