PUBLISHED IL THE row or BOWLING GREEN NO,
TO De DEVOTED TO GENERAL INTELLIGENCE,
MORALITY, RELIGION, LITERATURE AG-
RGCULTURr &c.

1.-THE undersigned having purchased the
Radical Office, designs continuing the publica-
ton of a paper in the same place, and under the
same name; but with this change in its course
party politics will be dispensed with. The prime
object and highest aim Of the "Radical' shall be
TO profit and TO interest the reader. In our eX-
ertions TO accomplish these objects, truth-solid
truth, shall be our guide-our polar star; for we
do not believe that any individual or comInuni-
ty can be permanently benefited BY falschood or
deception.
Believing the welfare of society to be inscpa-
rably connected with the cause of education,
morality, arts and agriculture, they shall receive
our most cordial and hearty support. Foreign
and Congressional intelligence, with the current
news, shall be given at the earliest practicable
period. The columns of the Radical" shall be
open at all times for the reception Of respectfully
written articles from gentlemen of either of the
present political parties; each shall have Il fair
and candid hearing. As for oursclf, we shall
carefully avoid all party strife and political con-
~tention, considering ii entirely unnecessary and
improper in US, as the conductor oil the paper to
take sides with either party. Our motto shall be
'peacc on earth and good will towards all men, ,
Judging from the signs of the times, the perl
Cd has arrived when we should lay aside our sec
tional jealousies and party prejudicics, and rally
as a band of brethren, around the standard Of
our country's good-presenting an unyieldlng
front to the wicked efforts that are now making
TO sever the sacred chord that binds together this
glorious Union.
Having staked our earthly ALL in the success
of the paper, we shall use our best exertions,
both physical and mental, TO make it respectable
in its appearance and interesting and beneficial to
the reader. And we look particularly to the c-
tiZens OF this and the surrounding counties for
that support and encouragement which they are
enabled TO yield to it, and which is essential in
sustaing a press here or elsewhere; the impor-
lance of which, to the prosperity and improve
ment of any section of country, and the world at
large, is too well understood to need comment
from us.
The terms of the Radical as heretofore,
with this additional arrangement:-Any individu-
al sending us the money for five subscriptions
shall be entitled TO the sixth gratis.

BLACK.EYED JOE.
Two or three years ago, went into a
town in the state Of New Hampshire to
give temperance lecture. There were
many persons in the village who drank
Intoxicating liquors. But many came to
hear me, and noticed just rs COM
menccd speaking, a little bright-oyed boy
just about your age, who came into the
Hall, and sat down near the door. lie
listened very a,icnlively; and when ]
spoke of The cruel treatment of wives and
children from Incorporate men, saw him
more than once lake his handkerchief and
wipe away the Tears. ! told them the
pledge would prevent all this, and make
men kind and pleasant; and ! told the
children to sign it il they would prosper
and be happy in the world. This hule
fellow was almos, the FIRST TO put his name
down; and when asked the people who
he was, they told me he was called Black
eyed Joe, and that his father was one Of
the worst drunkards in town.
1t was his custom every morning 10
mingle rum and sugar with water, and
pass it round to every one Of the children,
who took little as well as their father
and mother. lie would drink again al
| l o'clock, at noon-time, and AT o'clock,
and at supper. So that when evening
came, he would always be intoxicated,
cruel and revengeiul - sometimes he
would bea, his wife, sometimes his chill.
dren, or shut them out Of doors in the cold
storms. II was this that made Joseph
weep, when ] told Of cruelty to children;
and il was this that induced him to sign
the pledge.
He went home from the meeting and
determined to keep his resolution. The
next morning as usual, the father took on'
the brown jug, mixed the pitcher Of poi
son, and handed it 10 Joseph first. lie
shook his head and declined taking it.
