NE DEMOCRATIC STANDARD.

/ VIZ" iSBard 10 me conlnuance OF the put
lIcaIIon Of the STANDARD after the elec on.
we have thought proper in this msn1er
10 assure our friends and the public that i
Is intended to make it permanent publ.
ca''on' This was the design a, the com.
mencemen'' aud nothing has occurred to
discourage the undertaking; but on the
contrary, the patronage already extended
TiIl stimulate Us TO increased eyer,ions
to make the Standard an eflicien, demo.
cratic journal, as well as an in,erosriny
and valuable family newsp per.
The Standard will continue 10 adyo.
cate the political principles Of the great
democratic party, which have been So
ably supported by Jefferson, a Jack
son, and Van Buren-,hree Of the
most profound statesmen the world ever
produced. As the leading measure by
means of which these principles are to be
carried into effect, il shall support the
"Independent Treasury" and oppose a
United States Bank as its antagonist and
as destructive Of repuhliCanism itself
1t shall support simple and economical
administration Of our public affairs; and
oppose ex'iavagant expenditures for in.
ternaI Improvements, ard all other con.
commitaDls OF splendid government
and a beggard people. 1t shall advocate
equality Of rights among our citizens, and
oppose that kird Of legislation which en-
riches the few at the expense Of the ma
ny,-engenders envy and discord among
our citizens-discourages industry, and
ultimately entails misery upon a people
which Otherwise might be prosperous and
happy.
In view Of the unhallowed means re-
sorted to by the enemies Of equal rights
for the accomplishment of their selfish
ends, our exeriions in support of our free
Institutions, which they are striving TO
overthrow, should be redodbled Politics
should form a part of the instruction of
youths, so that when they become of the
age TO have a voice in public affairs,
they may be governed by reason, and not
swayed by the sophistry and Turing pa
geantry of demagogues, nor persuaded to
sell their birthright for mess of pot!age.
Let all good Democrats lend their aid in
disseminating correct political principles,
and the leign of federalism in Ohio will
be of short duration.
The Standard will contain an account
of the proceedings of Congress and of the
Ohio Legislature while in session. The
long winter evenings will afford farmers
and olher laboring men ample opportuni-
ties TO read and investigate the conduct
of their public servants; 10 watch them,
and see how their actions in the legisla-
tives halls comport with their professions
before the election. The wings, who are
now in power n this State, have promised
TO make money more plenty. We have
no objections 10 their flooding our streets
with gold and silver; but we earnestly
protest against their Withdrawing the pre-
cious metals from circulation, and subsii-
tuting in their stead that which will be
rather the evidence of the dishonesty of
bsnkers than the representative OF money.
We shall cndeavor TO make the Stand
ard valuable as medium of fcurrent news.
AS The hostile altitude of the most pow
erfu nations of the old world increases
the importance of foreign news, arrange,
ments have been made by us TO be early
supplied with the accounts brought by
arrivals at the Atlantic ports of the
slate of affairs in Europe, Asia and Africa
and such as may be deemed interesting tc
the readers Of the Standard, Shall be Iad
before them.
Domestic news, historical, agricultural
horticultural and other useful aud enter
tanning reading will occupy due proper
Of The Standard. We trust thai durlns
The year we shall present such a mass o.
matter for the entertainment and heneh
of our readers, that no subscriber will re-
gret having paid two dollars for ii, nor de-
sire to discontinue the paper.
