TO THE PATRONS OF THE VENTURE AND
THE DEMOCRACY OF NORTH WEST

aOdlO.& Aa
On the first day of July next the new Post office
Law goes into operation. 1t opens the way to I'm
enlarged and more general circulation of inteli-
gence by providing that newspapers shall not be
charged with postage at any office within thirty
miles from the place of publication. This journal
will therefore be received at the following Offices,
free of postage:
IN Putnam Couny-Franconia, Fort Jennings,
Cochran's, Croghan, Pendleton, Cunningham,
Pleasant, Gilboa, Buckeye, and Dukes
In .4Hen--Lima, and Westminster.
In Paulding-C Clarloe, and Junction
In pan Wert-Wan Vert
In Hancock-Benton Ridge
We view this as proper opportunity to ask
those who may be desirous to maintain an indc-
pendent Democratic Press to aid us in enarping
the circulation of our Journal 1t is true this is
new country and an extensive circulation is not
to be expected, but ours mi ght with little exer-
ton the part of the friends of correct political
principles be doubled with ease even among our
sparse population We think Democratic Putnam
is capable of doing infinitely more in circulating
the VENTURE than she now does, and that without
difficulty. Our able and worthy predecessor H. S.
KNAPP Esq. had resources to render his business
profitable which are denied to u.s. the patronage
of three counties which now have presses of their
own, and which made large subscription list to
him rather secondary consideration. Besides as
we well aware of the efficiency of democratic
press to spread and keep alive democratic princi-
pies we are anxious, apart from mere pecuniary
considerations, to have the means of making our
political opinions as widely known as possible.
We conceive that we have a perfect right to ask
the active cooperation of those, in support OF this
Journal, whose principles are advocated in its
columns From others we have no right to expect
aid but from those who are opposed to Banks of
circulation and discount; to high and unequal
tariffs, the distribution of the public lands among
the sates monopolies and special privileges, with
all their conupting tendencies~-from those who
are the ardent supporters plain and economical
government, the currency of the Constitution
equal rights and equal burdens-we expect that
they will do all consistently in their power to sup
port and extend these views of political adminis-
tration; and the VENTURE it always has been,
will sedulousy be devoted to the extensive of these
truly Jeffersonan doctrines, the character of its
circulation in this section must prove an impor-
tant element in their progress and ascendancy.
We do not feel ungrateful for the efforts Of those
who have made this journal hitherto one of the
most successful in the northwest, but,w ask, once
for ALL that these exertions be not laid aside but
continued, and as this portion of Ohio improves
o,,J IN, Al
should be made sensible of it by the increased
patronage of our intelligent community.
We shall carefully endeavor to give tbs local
news that may transpire in this country and Sec
ton generally. We shall also call attention to the
natural advantages of northwestern Ohio, and
promptly notice every indication of its increasing
prosperity. And for this purpose we would
receive as favor the suggestions of such as feel
an interest in the welfare of this portion of our
State; we are comparatively a stranger and
consequently not SO capable of doing justice to
this subject an older resident
Our mechanics, merchants and traders, generally
would do well to advertise in our paper. Our pre-
sent circulation is equal to that of any journal in
the northwest and is not confred to this county
but is literally patronized in Williams, Pauiding,
Henry and Defiance counties. We would not
however be understood to solicit advertising
solely as favor to the VENTURE. We know that
no outlay made by business men brings more GER
tain returns than those which are received through
this medium, and that while conferrng benefit
on us advertisers confer double benefit on them
selves. This aware is not SO clear to some
who cannot realize that profit can come from such
an in tangible source, but shrewd and energetic
business men know that it is memorandum to
customers where to call, and act accordingly.
The terms of the VENTURE will be, as usual to
advance; and in like proportion for shorter
period. Any person who will forward us five res
pensible subscribers to the VENTURE will be enti-
tied to an extra copy one year free of charge.
Persons forwarding $500 in advance will receive
three copies for year or six for half year, and
clubs forwarding 5000 will receive six copies for
one year or twelve copies for six months.
Postmasters, who are friendly, will confer
favor on us by acting as Agents.
We learn that William Bomberger, Esq.
has Decn dPPo'uteu CoilSCtoi vi tollS OIL tue
canal at Defiance. A good appointment
The collectors office at this place is to be
removed to the Junction, as soon as the Mi
ami Canal Extension is opened for naviga-
ion-Maumee Times.
This is the least Objectionable appointment
make by the Wing Canal Commissioners in this
section of the State. Mr.. Bomberger is gentle
ma fully competent to the duties of his Office;
and though he takes the place of most capable
and worthy Democratic officer, yet as the Wings
have determined at all hazards to carry out the
principle q that to the victors belong the spols;"
