The object Of this prospectus j. TO announce the
new arrangement. and TO solicit and secure a more
extensive circulation Of the Gazette by brily sta
ting the leading features which It is intended shall
distinguish its future character
Conceiviug. sincerely do. that the best
happiness and the best interests OF the great mass
OF the people will be most certainly promoted and
more permanently secured by tho general dissemi-
nation and prevalence of the Leading prime piles
and policy Of the present democratic party OF the
United States-and knowing the people here to be
essentially democratic in feeling and in spirit-wc
ment Of the doctrines and the adoption Of the mea-
sures Of THE JEFFERSONIAN sCHOoL OF
DEMOCRACY. which. as before indicated. we
believe to be equally advantageous TO the pursuits
and congenial TO the feelings of our fellow.cit-
zsns.
Opposition to all monopolics, chartered privile
gcs and corrupt combinations to swindle. deceive.
and tefraud the public; opposition to high tatif,
poles in the East al the expense and TO the de-
stsuctcn Of the great agricultural interests Of the
county; opposition to the bribery system Of dis.
tributing the proceeds Of the land sales among the
States Of the Union. which are levied from the
Western States and Territories. Will. it ie inten-
ded That the deficit shall be supplied, and more
than supplied. by high and Indirect tax upon the
necessares ofli:e-thus levying double duty upon
the Western people tor the support off, vernment,
whilst the Ens. would pay but and ENJOY all
the benefits Of both; opposition to any interfe-
rcnce with the rights Of the States. either by the
Executive or the Federal Government or by any
latitudinous construction ct the Constitution of
the country, by which tho rights, the liberties and
the interests Of the people are jeoparded in The
hands of such Congress as the present one. aud
often made TO depend upon the DEGREES OF corrupt
c6urt, and ut best upon the tallible judgment Of an
honest one; opposition 10 the banking system &C.
neraliy. and the wretched policy Of rag.credits
which inevitably flow from such an Institution
And the support Of free and equal laws equal
rights equal liberties ard equal taxation; the sups
port Of tariff, for revenue only; the support Of
safe and honest and economical system Of collect.
Ing and disbursng the public moneys; the support
OF liberal land system, which shall secure to the
pioneer the labor Of his hands at the smallest ex.
penae in money; the support Of measures which
shall insure economy in the administration Of pub
lie affairs so as to avoid every unnecessary taxa.
tior; tie support of every branch Of government nj
IN the exercise Of its legitimate prerogative. and
the defence Of the people against all encroach.
Ments Of power; aud the support. in fine, of all
measure. that are truly democratic. and Of mer
who will frarlessly carry them into effect. These
in brief. are the leading objects which will be kept
constantly in view aud made to constitute the prn-
cipal features OF the political department OF the
Gazette.
In the discussion Of all questions we shall entiea.
vor to he courteous at the same time that we shall
be candid towards our opponents. Expecting ia
derive all our argument from indisputabe facts
we shall know neither the inclination nor the ne
tv Vf to alS,s,c 10 he
Jicy Of others what ii may, the Gazette shall not
be diverted from this its fired purpose. Whenever
9 question becomes so involved in personalities
that its discussion Will amount to nothing more
than private quarrel it sh all be entirely excluded
from our columns
The press should he the corrector and not the
corruption Of the public taste-and instead Of SOW
ing the seeds Of disco broadcast among commu-
nifty, its more legitimate province is to promote
the harmony and happiness Of all by presenting the
br"htest side OF all sorts of times and all sorts OF
things, and by communicating. in pleasant way,
sound niaxins and useful information. 10 make
the columns Of the Gazette attain to this degree OF
excellence aud utility will be the constant effort OF
the editors.
As the agricultural interest is with rapidly
increasing one, and the largest portion Of our
circulation i. among the farming community. we
shail devote goodly portion Of our paper 10 agri-
cultural matters. Communications from practical
farmers. and any information agricultural sub
lec!s, will ut all times be welcome
The Foreign aud Domestic news Of the day.
which may be deemed OF interest. will be duly no.
ted and given at early day to readers-also
such proceedings Of Congress may be considered
worthy Of roon Arrangement. will be made to
ensure the latest, the most authentic. and the most
interesting accounts Of the proceedings of the
TERRITORIAL LEGISLATURES during its next
session. The balance Of the paper will consist Of
items Of general news. and literary and miscella-
neous selections.
