BY JEssE n. DOW & 60.

FHSIIE FIRST number of our new paper vii
be issued this (frst) day of May, witt
an entire new dress--new type, fine white
lpaper, with other important alterations
and improvements. The paper will be
devoted 10 fearless exposition of Demo.
cratic principles; il will zealously and un-
remitiingly oppose each and every effort
10 establish mamolh monarchy bank and
other mschievous corporations and con-
soldations Of wealth, which snbvert the
rights of the people and undermine the
pillars of the Republic; it will oppose an
oppressive and anti-republican tariff sys.
TEN, the assumption of the State debts
by the General Government, and all oth~
er Fed principles which have an inev.
liable tendency to destroy public pros
perity as well as individual happiness
Against all such political decisions, we
shall wage unchapging, uncompromising
war.
The FARMER and the MECHANIC who
produce all the real capital of the nation,
will find in our paper an unwavering
champion of their inalienable rights; the
long cherished principles Of the editors
are too well known to the pnbHcto re-
quire any pieuge upon tnls point.
the Miscellaneous Department particular
attention will be devoted; the Ladies will
always find in our columns choice se>
lection from the current literature OF the
day, as well as original contributions from
the most talented writers of which our
country can boast. general summary
of Foreign and Domestic news will be
furnished; a regular price current and a
correct list of the prices of stocks will
also be given.
The conductors have already secured
the aid and cooperation of large num-
ber of the most distinguished literary
and political writers Of the day, arrange
ments will also be made, at the earliest
period possible, to embellsh our columns
by the contributions of correspondents
from abroad. With this brief and imper.
feet outline of our plan, we very respect,
fully submit our claims to an extensive
patronage 10 the consid Of gen.
erous public.

IN prison. With one hand you thrust the dagger
to the heart-with the other attempt to assuage
the pain 1t causes.--Dr. Thomas SesoaH. g8 l
You are filling your aims houses, and jails, and
penitentiaries, with victims loathsome and bur
densome to the community. You are engaged in
business which is compelling your fellow citizens
to pay taxes to support the victims Of your en-
ployment. You are filling up these abodes of
wrctchednes and guilt, and then asking your fell
low. citizens to pay enormous taxes indirectly to
support t.--Rep. .4lbert Barnes.
Whether you will hear or whether you will for
bear, shall not cease to demonstrate; and when
can do no more to reclaim you, | will sit down
at your gate and cry Murder! Murder MURDER!

If men will engage in this destructive traffic, if
they will stoop to degrade their reason and reap
the wages of iniquity, let them longer have the
law book pillow, nor quiet conscience by the
opiate of a license--Hon Theodore EetngI.pysen.

through the little town of Pepperelbro, and
recollectng some of the incidents related
above, bethought me to ascertain if Bill had
kept his pledge. ! could not recollect his
silname, and was obliged to inquire for
Lazy Bill as of old. Nobody knew him,
or could tell where he lived. Finally |
called at house, and interrogated the wo-
man industriously for the whereabouts of
Z Lazy Bill ! but she knew nothing Of him,
and turned to 60 away. just then an old
gentleman passed the house.
"There's uncle Simon Leighton, J" said the
woman, Sand he knows where your man
lives, if any body does" hurried into the
street, and overtaking uncle Simon, pat
to him the question, Where does Lazy
