PROSPECTUS OF

Published in Bouliag-Greea. Mo.

4 UOttSHeG IN DOUttHS-u SGHs Aho'
We commenced the publication Of
The 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
ofthe great political parties which divide
and ae;tate our country-presentlng a
variety of reading matter on all the
leading topics efthe day, that both Demo
Gratis and Wings might find something
suited to their peculiar principles; avoid
ing the more exciting partizan topics and
misunderstanding that such a course
faithfully pursued, could not fail 20 meet
the appreciation of both parties. Indeed
hat 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 partl-
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 a 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 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 endeavoring 10
further the great principles ofthe Demo-
cratic party, it is believed, that we will
be contributing TO the interests of a ma
FORTY 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 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
whhss cur feelings have long been deep
" engaged. Though country sheet,
like ours, is not calculated to effect any
great revolution in the aspect of the pc.
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 III.
Democratic party-upon questions o
State policy which may spring up, ant
upon any which have served to divid,
the Democratic party in this State, w
shall feaflessly express our opinions. W
shall neither exhibit a ~servile devotion
to any of our public servants, MOI shaI
we be induced to aid in their downfall
by disgusting abuse and unmeaning char
ges. In a word, shall contend for wha
we esteem the true interests of tn
Democratic party.
In pursuing the course we have her
marked out for ourselves, we look fol-
ward ,.ith confidence to the support
gu friends in this county.
We have necessarily made somesac
fees, but we 60 to our task with the az
surance that our labours will receiv
their full reward, and that we shall me,
with encouragement from a liberal con
munity.
