since 1886.
The chief inGucement to resume the arcuous and res
ponsible duties an Editor is the hope that he NAV
now contribute something towards the election of Gene
raj HARRISON. The fidelity, ability, fmhess and mode
ration wh wht thai eminent citizen has discharged the
most responsible aud difficult public trusts-hiS unexam-
pied ouary as the chief magistrate of the Territories
". OF the Oho,-the unmpeached integrity of his

The PILOl VIII review the course OF the present adj
minStTaOn, and discuss freely the fraudulent specuIa-
tons in the public lands and their connexion with The

and contrased the present unexampled condition of

The undersigned believes that the Federal Govorn
ment is a compact between the States, intended by a
more perfect union to hdImonise, far as possible
what would otherwise have been conflict between To-
cal interestS,-and that this is no less duty than The
protection of our foreign commerce The benefits 10
flow from well directed system OF Internal Improve
ments, whether 1t be considered as means of defence
in case of INVASION, Instruction; of CONVEYING The
products of The interior to market OR OF TRgSsPoRT-
ING THE MAIL, arc so papable that the only objections
heretofore urged against appropriations to that object
have been made by those who denied the power OF the
Federal Government; or by others who, admitting the
power denied the exPedency, under the existing State
of the Treasury. The undersigned believes that The
ederal Government may, by permanent contracts with
rail road companies for the transportation of The mail
and troops and munitions Of war; on the leading routes
oil travel accomplish general system of Internal I'm
and will enforce the proprely of doing So
and endeavor TO show how this may be done bv am emf
ghtened use OF the public credand also to ievelope
the incidental advantages to flow from sucb meas,,t
by sustaining the credit of the States and thus restoring
public and private confidence.

gence thus concentrated and whatever an zeal

be done to render 1t acceptable as Commercial Sci
entlhe, Literary and Miscellaneous as well as polt-
cal newspaper.-It will treat political opponents with
candor and fairness, but will be firm and decided in
support OF the men, the and the principles
whose support may be identified with the welfare of the
county and if iii doing ibis il should be necessary to
retallate or TO carry the war into Arca' it Will be
done-he Editor will not fder in the discharge of his
