Encouraged by the liberal patronage bestowed
upon the "OLIVE BRANCH the undersigned
has made arrangements to enlarge it to double
its former size. At the commencement of our
undertaking, we desired it to be distinctly I'M
dcrstood, that we were pledged to no particular
sect, and that in no case, we should NEEDLE with
politics. We shall continue to occupy the same
ground. Sectarianism has been too often des-
%tructive to the peace, harmony, and union of
the followers of Christ, while the pure and ele-
waited principles of Christianity have as fire.
quently been contaminated by being mingled in
the turmoil and style of party politics. We
shall endcavor to avoid both, as heretofore, and
we shall only vary our origina! design, in devo-
ting a larger portion of the enlarged sheet to the
Interests of the farmer. We have received no
small portion % our patronage from that class of
our population, and as we look upon Agriculture
in some measure, as'the handmade to religion
and morality, in doing so, we shall be only indi-
rec!ly carrying nlt our former plan. 1t is a
subjecttoo, the Importance of which, both pro-
fessors of religion, and non-prolessors, unite in
acknowledging, and inasmuch, as we have been,
contrary TO orr expectations much more literally
encouraged by the latter, than by the former,
we shall crdcavor TO adapt our sheet more to
their wants and ~tastc-taking care at the samc
time, that this shall only be secondary to our
main design-that of Religion and Morality.

The above will be the title of an nd paper un-
der a new nalnc 10 be published in Bowling Green,
Mo, by the undersigned. With the change Of
namc there will be 80 change in the political
course of the paper. THE RADICAL" will
pursue the same course as has heretofore been
pursued by the "Salt River Journal" 1t will
advocate a strict and rigid Interpretation of the
constitution as the best safeguard of the rights of
the people and of the states, and as the only guar
antee of the durability of our union. Ii will OPP
pose the exercise of all doubtful powers by Com
gress, and as a accessory consequence will wage
an uncOmlromising war against National Bank,
whatever name it may assnmc-against a protcc-
live tariff, rs wrong in itself and dangerous TO the
harmony of the members of the National Con-
lcderary-and against the attempt to bribcth the in
d"bted states into the support Of the Federal
iar,y by a distribution of the proceeds of the
sales OF the public lands among the states.
The undersigned are DESTROYS TO extend the
circulation of the "RADlcAL," and with this view
no effort will be spared to render ii acceptable 20
the Democracy of this portion of the State
From them we have to look for much the larger
proportion of our patronage, and we shall strive
