THE VENTURE, s.5
az @eNoo@er%tde I@uoa'9u%4,
PUBLISHED AT KALIDA, OHIO.

On the first day Of July next the new Post Office
Law goes into operation. II opens the way to IN
enlarged and more general circulation Of intelli-
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 County-Franconia Fort jennings,
|Cochran's, Croghan, Pendleton, Cunningham,
Pleasant, Gilboa, Buckeye, and Dukes.
In 9Hen-Lima, and Westminster. =.
In Pduiding-Clarloe, and Junction.
In Van Wert-Wan Vert.
In Hancock-Benton Ridge.
We view this as proper opportunity to ask
| those who may be desirous to maintain an indie.
pendent Democratic Press to aid us in enlarpinp
the circulation of our Journal. 1t is true this is
new country and an extensive circulation is not
to be expected but ours might with little exer-
ton the part of the friends of correct political
principles be doubled, even among our sparse pop
ulation. We think Democratic Putnam is capa-
BILE of doing infinitely more towards circulating
the VENTURE thapjshe now does, and that without
difficulty. Our able and worthy predecessor, II. s.
KNAPP, ESQ.,, had resources to render his business
profitable which are denied to us /: the patronage
of three counties which now have presses of their
own, and which made large subscription list to
him rather secondary consideration. Besides, az
we are we'll aware of the efficiency of democratic
press to spread and keep alive democratic prnci-
Idles, we are anxious, apart from mere pecuniary
considerations, to have the means of making our
political opinions as widely known as possible.
4 We conceive that we have perfect right to ask
the active cooperation of those, in support OF this
Journal, whose principles advocated in its
columns. From others we have no right to expect
4 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 States, monopolies and special privileges, with

are the ardent supporters of 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 admins
4 tration; and us the VENTURE, as heretofor
will seduously be devoted to the extension 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 we ask once
for all, that these exerons be not laid aside, but
continued, and that as this portion Of Ohio in
creases in population and in wealth, that we
should be made sensible of it by the increased
patronage of our intelligent community. .r.
We shall carefully endeavor to give the local
news that may transpire in this county and Sec
ton generally We shall also call attention to the
natural advantages of northwestern Ohio, and
promptly nOtlce every lnQlcatOn OF It's increasing
prosperity. And for this purpose we would
receive favor the suggestions of such as feel
an interest in the welfare of this portion of our
State; being comparatively stranger, we are
consequently not SO capable of doing justice to
this subject as an old resident
Our mechanics, merchants and traders generally
I jwoud do well to advertise in our paper Our pre-
sent circulation is equal to that Of any journal in
1.-THE northwest and is not confired to this county,
1 but is literally patronized in Williams, Paudng,
Henry and Defiance counties We would not,
however, be understood to solicit advertising
tsolely favor to the VENTURE. We know that
gno outlay made by business men brings more GER
tain returns than those which are received through
this medium, and that while comforting benefit
on us advertisers confer double benefit on them
selves This, we aware, is not clear to all;
ImNny cannot realize that profit can be derived from
such an intangible source, but shrewd energetic
business men know that it is a memorandum to
lcusomers where to call, and act accordingly.
The terms of the VENTURE will be, as usual, to
single subscribers $500 per year, when paid in
advance; and in like proportion for shorter
period Any person who will forward us five res
aponsible subscribers to the VENTURE will be ent-
3 tied to an extra copy year free of charge
Persons forwarding $500 in advance will receive
three copies for year six for half year, and
clubs forwarding 5000 will receive six copies for
one year or twelve copies for six months.
