OF truth for lis success, at the same time
We shall never hesitate 10 lend our influence
to counteraci and destroy the effect Of error

The adjustment Of Inc southern bounda-
ry is a question Of great moment TO the ter
ritory generally, as it is particularly to the
southern portion OF it, involving as it does,
the probability Of an carly demand from
Wisconsin to BE- admitted into the union as
state. with large accession Of territory
and population. On this subject much has
already been said, but the question is yet
IN its infancy, and lis importance and in
'crcst must continue 20 increase, till it is
definitely settled. It cannot be denied that
considered as n right, the annexation
would recommend itself lavoraEly to almost
every individual within the present limits
Of Wisconsin, as it Offers, in the accession
oFtcrr'tory, advantages possessed. perhaps
By no other portion Of the Union; the whole
extent Of lake Michigan on the east, with
Tho Mississippi washing her western boz
de"s; commercial cities on both waters al
ready Iarga, wcal.hy ond increasing; and an
unFiva!!cd agricultural country, with the
immense annual produce Of its numerous
farms: and, in the accession Of popu-
htion, the immediate admission of Wiscon-
sin into the union as Il state, with the pri-
vlllges and immunitics that state only can
cxercisc-thoSc of clecling and appointing
hct own Ulcers, and making her own laws.
Ioanng money, projecting and construct
ing works OF internal improvements &c. sc.
These arc some Of the advantages that pre-
sent themselves, and that they are piomi-
ncnt and powerful caanot be denied; but the
policy of the annexation, with many, is al
ready becoming question, as it is feared
that it mast bring with il evils, that by
Young and growing territory should be
avoided. With regard to this whole sub
lect, II shall be our cndcavor to keep our
readers emily acquainted with all Of inter

deem necessary; bat should the subject

On national political questions, it is web
known that tie principles Of the editor are
democratic, and favorable 20 the leading
measures Of the past and present admins
tra,ions. Whilst tho liberty is claimed for
the paper. Of free expression Of opinion
on any and every subject, it is not intended
that IT shall take an active part in tho dis
cussion OF political questions, nor devote its
energies to the elevation Of any one poIili-
cal party over another
With regard 10 the numerous LEGAL qucs-
tons that arc continually agita,ing the ter
ritory, ii it is found necessary 20 take part
in them atall, our course shall be such Il
one as will correspond with what we have
already prolcsscd.
In short, whilst VIC shall steadily pursue
the dictates Of our own conscience and
opinions, VIC hope Ouf course generally
will meet the appreciation Of that public

We Shall conclude, with few remarks
which, though intended, perhaps, more par
tculariy for our own interest, VIC hope may
be found to interest our subscribers. We
have embarked in an experiment, one how

Little fears. 1t has been truly said that the
general wealth Of country is in her agri
cultural resources. With this truth ad-
mitlcd need VIC say more in relation TO the
