PROSPECTUS OF
PEsR RADTgAGe
Published in Bouiing-Green, NO.

We commenced the publication OF
s.Ths Radical" twoyears and a hall since'
and have continued its publication up 10
the present lime constantly aiming 70
make II useful to our subscribers Of each
o fthe great political parties which divide
and agitate our ,,ouniry-presentine a
variety of reading matter on all 'he
leading topics oftIle d.Ny, that both Demo
Gratis and Wings might find something
suited to their peculiar pr incipies; avoid,
ing the more exciting partiz'an topics and
cpinions-believing that such a course
faithfully pursued, could not fa'i:o meet
the appreciation of both parties. Indeed
that course has been repeatedly ~app1sad--
ed by the coolor heads and pursr hearts,
whether Wing or Democratic. But The,
times are changed. A fairly conducted
neutral paper no longer suits the parti-
ian spirit of a large portion of the COM
munity. And we now have the specta-
Gle of a Wing newspaper in the town
of Bowling Green, appealing to 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 for
President, and Vice President of the
United States, the names of JAMES X.
POLK of Tennessee, and GEORGE M.
DALLAS, of Pennsylvania. In advo-
eating the claims of these gentlemen for
the highest office in the gift Of the Ame-
rican people, and in endeavoring 70
further the great principles ofthe Demo-
cratic party, it is believed, that we will
be contributing to the interests of a ma
jority of our readers.
The change which now occurs, was
contemplated during the first of the last
summer, but a variety of circumstances
which now have 10 existence, forbid
!, that we should carry into execution. our
design. But as ali obstacles have been
removed, we have rushed into the lists,
determined TO do battle for a cause in
which onr feelings have long been deep
" engaged. Though a country sheet,
like ours, is not calculated to effect any
great revolution in the aspect of the po-
~litical world, and must be limited in its
3 influence, still we are disposed TO con-
r tribute our mite towards the elevation of
a party, whose success is. we believe.
| Intimately connected with the future
/, welfare and r---r-- 80. Cnivn.-
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, u g.
!, pinions are identical with those of the
, Democratic party-upon questions Of
, State policy which may spring up, and
, upon any which have served TO divide
the Democratic party in this State, we
shall fearlessly express our opinions. We
shall neither exhibit a %servile devotion
TO any of our public servants, MOI shall
we be induced to aid in their downfall
by disgusting abuse and unmeaning char
/. ges. In a word, shall contend for what
we esteem the true interests Of the
Democratic party.
In pursuing the course we have here
marked out for ourselves, we look for
ward with confidence to the support Of
our friends in this county.
We have necessarily made somesacri-
fees, but we go to task with the as
s~urance that our labours Will r~eceiss
their full reward, and that we shall meet
with encouragement from a liberal con-
munity. -r' ~
