PROSPECTUS OF
{PIEEJa2 MAIGgAIa
Published in BorLing-Grecq. 10.

We commenced tie publication of
"The Radical two years and a half since,
and have continued its publication up TO
The present time constantly aiming 10
make ii useful TO our subscribers of each
Ofthe great political parties which divide
and agitate our country-presenting a
variety Of reading matter on all tie
leading topics ofthe day, that both Demo-
Gratis and Wings might find something
suited TO their peculiar principles;avoid-
ing The more exciting p%artizan topics and
opinions-believing that such a course
faithfully pursued, could not fail 20 meet
the appreciation of both parties. Indeed
that course has been repeatedly applaud
ed by the ~coolor heads and purer hearts,
whether Wing or Democratic. But the
times are changed. A fairly conducted
Neutral paper no longer suits tie parti-
IAN spirit Of a large portion of the CON-
muniiy. And we now have the specta-
Gle OF a Wing newspaper in the town
Of Rowling Green, appealing 10 the spir-
it Of Whiggery for approval and support:
our course then, is plain one. Happily
our duty and our inclinations harmon
ize; and we henceforth devote whatever
Of time, talents and industry, may be
ours, to the diffusion of Democratic prin-
ciples. And we therefore place at the
head Of our columns, as candidates fer
President, and Vice President of the
United States, the INT Of JAMES K.
POLK Of Tennessee, and GEORGE NJ.
DALLAS, of Pennsylvania. In advo-
ealing the claims of these gentlemen for
the highest Office in the gift of the Ame-
ricln rcor'e, and in cnGeavoring 10
f,rthef lie great principles ofthe Demo-
cratic party, il is believed, that we will

joni : 81 oar readers.
The ch nge which now occurs, was
contemplated during tie first of the last
sumner. but a variety Of circumstances
" hich ROW have III existence, forbid
Il al We should carry into execution our
design But as all obstacles have been
removed, we have rushed into the lists,
determined 10 do battle Tor a cause i'll
which or feelings have Icing been deep
y cic ecd. Though a country sheet,
He ours, is not calculated 10 effect any
treat Re evolution in the aspect of the po-
%litical world, and must be limited in lis
influence, still we are disposed TO con-
tribute our mite towards the elevation of
a party, whose success is, we believe,
intimately connected with Tie future
welfare and prosperity Of our Union.-
We shall therefore devote our energies
to this end, and shall enter with zeal and
enthusiasm into the present animated
contest.
Upon all political questions, on o.
pinioEs are identical with those Of the
Democratic party-upon questions ct
Stale policy which may spring NJ, ard
upon any which have served to divide
the Democratic party in this State, We
shall fearlessly express our opinions. We
shall neither exhibit 4 ~ser,ile devotion
to any of our public servants, nor shall
we be induced to aid in their downfall
by disgusting abuse and unmerning char
ges. In a word, shall contend for what
we esteem the true interests Of the
Democratic party.
In pursuing the course we have rere
marked out for ourselves, we look for
ward with confidence to the support of
our friends in this county.
We have nece, sarily made m slcri-
fees, but we 60 to our task with the as
surance that our labours will receive
their full reward, aud that VIC shall meet
with encouragement from a liberal COM
munity.

longer delayed, Three Dollars will be
