THE PILOT:

Born and educated in the West; he has known Gene
raj Harrison personally, aud been familiar with his pub
lie life. since the commencement of the He has
known Mr.. Van Buren,, and closely observed his career
since 1886.
The chief inducement resume the arduous and res
ponsible duties of Editor is The hope that he may
now contribute something towards the election of Gene
raj Harrison. The fidelity, ability, frmhess and mode
ration with which that eminent citizen has discharged the
most responsible and difficult public truss-hs unexam-
pied popularity as the hefmagstrae of the Territories
W. of the Oho,-the unmpeached integrity of his
public lile his amabe, courteous, and dgnied respect
for the laws and public opinion guarantees that if

competent and honest men, who will devote all the con-
stituonal of the Government TO restore conf
dence, and thus revive the industry enterprise credit
and prosperity of the Country now paraized by
uufahful and incompetent public agents.
The PILOT will review the course of the present adj
ministration, and discuss freely the fraudulent specua-
lions in the public lands and their connexion with the
subsequent warfare on the banking Institutions of the
country in doing this the present and the past admin
straton will be identified, and their measures examined
and contrasted the present uexamped condition of
the country the causes in which it originated, and the
inevitable consequence of continuing power in the same
hands vii! be boldly and faithfully treated
The undersigned believes that the Federal Govern
ment is compact between the States, intended by
more perfect union TO hdImonse, as far as possible,
what would otherwise have been conflict between To-
cal inerests,-and that this is less duty than the
protection of our foreign commerce. The benefits to
flow from well directed system of Internal Improve
in case of invason insurrection of conveying the
products of the interior to market TRANSPORT
ING THE MAIL are so palpable that The only objections
heretofore urged against appropriations that object
have been made by those who denied the power of the
Federal Government; or by others who admitting the
power denied the expediency under the existing state
of the Treasury. The undersigned believes that the
Federal Government may, by permanent contracts with
rail road companies for the transportation of the mail
and troops and munitions of war, he leading routes
of travel, accomplish general system of Internal I'M
and ON pG
and eudeavor TO show how this may be done by an en-
lightened of the public credt-nd also to deveope
the incidental adv anages TO flow from such measure,
by sustaining the credit of the States and thus restoring
public and private confidence.
baltimore is central, and in some respects the best
point at which TO concentrate political intelligence
Should the expectations Of the Editor be realized, the
Pilot will become the medium of diilusng the inelli
renee thus concentrated and whatever earnest ZEAL
some experience, and unceasing industry do, will
be done to render acceptable a Commercial Sci
entifc Literary and Miscellaneous as well as politi-
cal newspaper.-It will treat political opponents with
candor and fairness, but will be firm and decided in
support of the men, the measures and the principles
whose support may be identified with the welfare of the
country and if in doing this, ii should be necessary to
