TO OUR PATRONS.

This number completes the FIRST VOLUME
OF THE TINES. To our patrons we return
our sincere thanks for the liberal manner
in which they have sustained our exertions.
MANY are the difficulties which the pub
fishers of a newspaper have to encounter
in aging before their readers regularly
tn cir mental repast but when they find a
liberal and generous public encouraging
and sustaining their exertions and the prin-
ciples for which they contend gaining the
ascendancy, they feel that they are suffi-
GENTLY remunerated for their time and
trouble, and that they are advocating the
cause of the people.
How different is the political aspect Of
the country now, TO what it was one short
year ago. Then Mr.. Van Buren,, was in
all his pride and glory, and had only to say
to his minions, "do thou this or that" and
it was done: he has now just relnquished
his seat--and is retiring to that privacy
from which, had he been brought before
the people on his own merits, he would
have been consigned long ago-disgraced
and unpitied, with the condemning voice
of 100000 freemcn ringing in his ears. tits
impossible to look back upon the ordeal
through which we have passed, without feel
ingan assurance that the future has scarcely
greater trial for us TO encounter. The
Ingenuity of man could not devise more
powerful engines than were employed to
uphold the late administration. Nothing
short of actual violence was spared in re-
ssting the progress of reform, and yet the
people triumphcd. Triumphed over cor
ruption, fraud, the power Of the purse, the
seductions of office, and the influences of
patronage 1t was the triumph of princi-
pie over po,csi, of the elements Of national
liberty over the most dangerous weapons
in the hands of the most dangerous men--
that could be brought to bear upon the
free exercise Of the popular will. The
nation has made its choice, and the man it
has chosen has just entered upon the dis
/ charge of his duties. How faithful he will
prove to the charge entrusted to him-tine
will tell.
We have issued prospectus for the
SECOND VOLUME OF THE TINES, which will
'Ibe placed in the hands of our friends at
different places-for the purpose Of e1-
tending its circulation. OF its future Dolui-
cd character We need not speak-suftice to:
saw, it will still continue to advocate the
cause Of the PEOPLE, and the true de-
mocracy, in opposition to that which is
feigned, and which, though it wears the
name, vet has not the form, nor bears the
features, nor brcathes the spirit of the
democracy which was held and taught by
the fathers Of the Revolution.
1t is now generally conceded that there
will be an Extra Session of Congress, the
proceedings Of which cannot fail to prove
interesting to every one. 1t is of great
importance at this time for the friends of
the present-HAnRIsoN- administration
to have some paper containing a correct
account OF its proceedings, in order to
meet and expose the unfair warfare already
commenced on it by the federal faction -
To give as CORRECT and FULL an account
of its proceedings as possible, will be the
constant aim Of the Proprietors of the
TINES.
In addition to the political news of the
day--whch will not require as much space
as heretofore-thev will be enabled to Law
before their readers weekly compend of
Literary and Agricultural matter, including
, the Markets, prices current, &C., which
: cannot fail TO prove interesting to them.
