PROSPECTUS OF
FU1 NADIpAIs
Published in Bowiing-G Green, No,

We commenced tho publication of
"Ths Radical" twoyears and a half since,
and have continued its publication up to
the present time constantly aiming 10
make it useful to our subscribers of each
of the great political parties which divide
and agitate our country-preseniing q
variety Of reading matter on all the
leading topics ofths day, that both Demo-
Gratis and Wings might find something
suited to their peculiar principles; avoid
ing the more exciting partizan topics and
cpinions-believing that such q course
faithfully pursued, could not fail 20 meet
the appreciation of both parties. Indeed
tnat course has bean repeatedly applaud
ed by the coolor heads and purer hearts,
whether Wing or Democratic. But me
times are changed. A fairly conducted
neutral paper no lonss.' su:is the parti-
Fan spirit Of 3 large portion of the Com.
nunity. And re now have the specta-
Gle of a Wing newspaper in the town
OF Bowling Green, appealing to the spir
1t Of "h'ggery for approval and support:
u course then, iss plain one. Happily
IL duty and our inclinations harmon
izc; and we h~enceforth devote whatever
Of time, talents and industry, may be
ours, TO the diffusion Of democratic pr;1-
ciples. And we therefore place ct 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 sdvo-
eating the claims Of these gentlemen for
the highest Office in the gift of the Anne
rican people, and in endesvoring 10
further the great principles oftbe Demo
cratic party, il is believed, thlsaa;t We will
be contributing TO the interests 0: a ms.
lority of our readers.
The change which now occur was
contemplated during the first Of the las,
summer, but q variety Of circumstances
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 i,
which u feelings have long been deep
~ engaged. Though q country sheet,
like ours, is not calculated to effect any
great revolution in che aspect Of The po-
ifical world, and must be limited in its
influence, still we are disposed TO con-
tribute III 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, our o.
pinions are identical with those OF the
Democratic party-upon questions ot
State policy which may spring up, ard
upon any which have served TO divide
the Democratic party in this State, W,
shall fearlessly express our opinions. W.
shall neither exhibit a servile devotion
TO any of our public servants, MOI shal
we be induced to aid in their downfall
by disgusting abuse and unneaning char
ges. In a word, shall contend for wha
We esteem the true interests Of III,
Democratic party.
In pursuing the course we have her
marked out for ourselves, we look for
ward with confidence to the support O
II friends in this county.
We have necessarily made somcsacri
Hoes, but We go to our task with the as
surance that our labours will ~receiv,
their full reward, and that We shall NEE
with encouragement from . liberal CON.
nnnity.
