We have received the first number of a new ma per
published IN Youngstown, Trumbull county, Ohio
by John G.. McLain, Esq. entitled "The Olive
Branch" 1t comes out boldly in favor of the pre-
sent national Administration, " and avows its deci
ded preference for John Tyler as the Democratic
candidate in IS44." The editor says, "The Olive
Branch will be Of the old Jeaersonian Republican
principles supporting the claims Of our present Chief
Magistrate for the Presidency, subject the decision
Of the Republican National Convention to be holde
IN Baltimore III May, 1874. In setting forth, from
time 10 time, the reasons why prefer Mr. TYLER To
Others and The reasons why the great interests of the
Republican party imperiously require his nomination
by the National Convention, we will endeayor IN do
fairly honestly, and candidly, without disparaenp
the character and merits Of bis distinguished compel
tors for that exalted station. We entertain for most
of them sentiments of the highest regarl and have
abored shoulder to shoulder with them for more
quarter Of century in support Of the great princ,
Piles OF Democracy, under whose benign influence
this glorious Union has to its present grandeur
On this point, then, we bespeak in advance fair and
impartial hearing at the hands Of the readers of The
Olive Branch Armed with truth, Justice and right
we hatter ourselves that we can convince them we
not wrong in saying the best interest of the ma.
tion and the Republican party in particular require
the continuance of John Tyler in the Presidential
chair for another term" Mr.. McLain Yields a yigo-
pen his paper IS well filled with choice origi-
nal and well selected matter and IT, as he saws If s
not lsrge bed quilt" certainly contains more
reading matter than is generally found in country
paper, give him the right hand Of fellowship and
hope he may meet with that success which he Justly
merits.
