We have received the December number of

sued from Philadelphia. We see some of the
best writers in the country contributing to it,
and the neatness in which il is got up and the
ability with which its editor Mr.. Graham
conducts it, cannot fail to call forth the praise of
every lover orLiterature. We are personally
acquainted with Mr.. Graham, and can testify TO
his abilities as a writer. His, is another one ol
the many examples, that our country has pro.
duced, wherein Genius though surrounded by
almost insurmonnahle barriers, has burst from
its confines and shone forth in it's beauty
strength and magnifcence.
But few years ago, he was an apprentice IL
a Cabinet maker. After toiling for his master
all day ,he spent the midnigh, hours in the stndy
of law and the pursuit of Classical literature
Shortly ailer his apprenticeship expired he wa'

OURsELF AND THE FUTURE,

In taking sole charge of the Democrat, we
feel that heavy responsibility rests upon our
shoulders as 20 the manner in which we shall
ucquit ourselfas editor, and do that justice to the
Democracy of the County, which the station we
have assumed demands orus. Being young in
years, we can boast of but little experience in
the political history Of our country, and of
course have much yet to learn; but, having laid
down for our landmarks the principles of JEFF.
erson, Jackson, and Van Buren, we shall fear.
lessy advocate those principles, feeling conf
dent that in so dong, we can never go astray
from the interests, the welfare and the promo.
tion of the Democratic party.
= In our course we shall as heretofore, ac. fear.
-1essly and independent governed by no clique,
we shall sndeavor to be true to the best inter-
ests of the pktyi what little we have 10 say.
shall be our own, for which we alone will be
held responsible, and should we in the anxiety
ola moment commit an error, or unjusty wound
the feelings ofany one, on proper conviction
we shall retract and make all the amends which
the laws ofhonor require. Itshall be our aim
to give the press that elevated character without
which itcan neither command resvsc: nor be
beneficial to community.
During tho last political campaign, the public
press had become notorious for lis want of cour-
tesy, and the viruience of its attacks on private
character. But the state of the times, and the
excited feelings and appetites of all parties
would be satiatod with nothing less, and hence
we were compelled in self defence to eight fire
with fire." For so doing. we were denoun>
ced by the opposition and general war of pro-
scription waged against us. Believing we were
but acting up u our duty, we needed neither
threats nor actual persecution, but throwing
ourselves entirely On the support ofthe Demo.
cratic party, pursued our course. On that party
we still depend, and hope by an upright straight
forward course to gain for tie democrat a liberal
patronage. fthe wings choose to patronise us
well anG good, but we shall never deviate from
our principles, nor remain "mum," on any
subject through fear ofgainiDg their i'll will.
2he election being over, and public senti>
nlent once more becoming calm, it behoves eve.
ry press to conciliate good feeling, and prevent
in future repetition of that storm and fury in
the useOf words which characterized the pubs
