occupation 10 Puullsh, eciHrU"hlh'y,
cheon newspaper, called Kendal's Expos
tier. Should the Administration be sls-
famed in the present conflict, rs his faith
in The neoDle pursuades him 70 believe that
there ia still much to be done 10 secure the
advancement and perpetuity Of pure prln
cjples in government and il perchance
il shall be defeated, there will be mere oc.
casion for all honest efforts to prevent the
mischieis apprehcnded from the men who
may come into power.
To those objects the Undersigned has
Determined 10 devote the remnant of his
IiEa. and he can think Of no means thro'
which he can act so sufficiently, as a
newspaper cheap enough to be within the
reach of every man who is able 10 read
RAISED to labor on farm, he has never
ceased to cherish the interest Of those who
labor for a living; and, knowing them TO
be the most virtuous and deserving portion
Of society, one Of the most cherished
desires Of his heart is to see them aroused
to the Importance Of giving more of their
reading, their thoughts, aud their time to
the affairs Of Government Yet, not TO
them exclusively, but also to all other men
who do not seek to obtain, through the laws
advantages over their fellow men, he will
address himself in the proposed pubIica.
ton. The main objects noticed IN this
paper win be as follows, viz:
!. Suffrage is the basis Of free govern
ment. He that cheats at elections is guilty
of the worst kind oftreason, and should be
punished as a traitor. He who gives
utterance to a falsehood, for the purpose o.
influencing a voter, is but little better
To denounce cheating, bribery, and false
hood, when detected, and suggest effective
porventives, will be a leading object Of the
proposed paper. Ia this the undersigned |
does not intend to he any respector OF par
ties; for one who resorts to such means Tor
the accomplishment of political ends,
whatever he may call himself, is no Dem.
oorat, and is an enemy to the people.
Q. Abuses of privileges and corruption
have made much progress in the IegisIa,
tive department Of our Government, and
have occasionally shown themselves in
other departments. These, as far as
known will be denounced, by whatever
party they may be practlsed. In every
abuse of privilege, or unexercise OF power,
the individual committing it strikes a blow
at public virtue, the only lasting basis OF
free institutions.
3. The principles of modern banking,
and the manner 10 which banks and public
debts operate upon the labor, trade, and
property of The community, are not well
One Of the chief objects in
this paper, by facts and illustrations, to
make these matters plain'to all who will
read and discuss the proposed remedies for |
existing evils. This Will involve an ex-
position of the nature and uses of money,
together with history OF the origin,
progress, and effect Of paper money in
Europe and America i
To these will be added, notice Of all
new discoveries and inventions which !,

facts, experiments, and improvements C
which may be instructive to The farmer aud
mechanic; a summary Of news, f1relgn AID !
domestic, carefully compiled, constituting 5
ia accurate history of passing events q
abstracts of important public documents, t
aAd miscellaneous mater, selected and :
original, instructive and entertaining. In
fine, the object is 10 furnish newspaper {
which viii present to the farmer, planter,
mechanic, merchant and otner readers,
the true interests Of those who live by the
cultivation of the soil and other aborous E.
occupations involving the interests of all t
useful trade and incile them always
TO regard those interests, in voting tor
public agents, to inculcate that honesty o
and truth should be the guide of ever, c
man in public as well as in private life ;
and sacred regard for the rights Of pro. s
perty, as well as personal rights, is essen.
tial to the happiness of man in state of y
society; that II is through far ballot that
we should look for the correction Of exist L
ing evils, and the prevention of those we
tea: and that true Democrat should
never think OF revolution by force unu! he :
finds himself deprived of the RIGHT Of suE ;

preferences for men or parties, but will I
