PROSPECTUS OF

Published in BowIing-Green. No.

We commenced the publication of
"The Radical years and a half since,
end have continued lis publication up 10
The present time constantly aiming TO
make 1t useful 10 our subscribers Of each
Of the grea, political parties which divide
and agiiats our country-presentlng a
variety Of reading matter on all the
leading topics oithe day, that both Demo-
crats and Wings might find something
suited to their peculiar principles; avoid
ing the more exciting partizan topics and
cpinions-belleving 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 the parti-
Fan spiri, 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
1t Of Whiegery for approval and support:
our course then, is a plain one. Happily
our duty and our inclinations harmon
ize; and we henceiorth 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 NJ.
DALLAS, of Pennsylvania. In advo-
eating the claims Of these gentlemen for
the highest office in the gift of the Anne
rican people, and in e~ndeavoring 10
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 u variety Of circumstance.
which now have no existence, forbid
that we should carry into execution our
design. But as all obstacles have been
removed, we have rushed into the lists,
determined to do battle for a cause in
which u feelings have long been deep
ly 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
Influence, still we are disposed TO con-
tribute our mite towards the elevation of
a party, whose success is. we believe,
intimately connected with the 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, our o.
pinions are identical with those of the
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 feariessly express IL opinions. We
shall neither exhibit a ~servile devotion
to any of CIR public servants, nor shall,
we be induced to aid in their dorynGll
by disgusting abuse and unme:. ming CHAR
ges. In a word, shall contend for what
we esteem the true interests of the
PARTY.
In pursuing the course we have here
marked cut for ourselves, we lock for,
