To the friends Of Temperance and the
public generally we now make our appeal
in behalf Of this paper. The publisher
feeling it a matter Of Importance to the in
terest of the Temperance cause in the Dis
trict, as well as the general interest of the
cause, and having been, as he conceives,
Providentially placed in situation at this
time when he can mingle this interest with
that of the business men, and thereby rem
der double service to the community, and
still further open medium of communica-
ton by which our principles may be ex-
tended far and wide, at a cheap rate, he
has purchased printing establishment, SO
as not only to be able to put daily paper
regularly to press, but also weekly; and
still further, be able to do any other print
ing the public may be pleased to have done;
and he assures them that they shall have
no cause of complaint He has made ar
rangements by which he can devote his
time to the interest Of the Office and the pa
per; and, having employed Mr.. Charles W..
Fenton, who will be always on the spot, to
conduct the printing, he has no doubt but
that general satisfaction will be given. We
shall make arrangements to have the earliest
news; also the proceedings of Congress.
We wish all who are indebted for the pa
per up to this time to pay up, as the affairs
of the tri-weekly must be closed They
will perceive that we are about to give
them better paper, double the number, at
the same price.
While the @CoLUMBIAN FOUNTAIN" will
be devoted to the cause of Temperance, its
columns will be enriched by original articles
on subjects calculated to interest, instruct,
and benefit its readers. 1t is intended SO to
blend variety, amusement, and instruction,
as that the various tastes of its patrons may
be (as far as it is practicable) gratified.
Commerce, Literature, and Science, and
every other subject Of interest, not inconsis-
tent with Temperance and morality, will re-
ceive the earnest attention of the publisher.
Nothing of a sectarian, political, or personal
character will be admitted.

OUR POSITION.


The Fountain is being circulated among
so many of the free citizens Of this happy
country that it becomes necessary for us
clearly to define our position, especially SO
as we have now made arrangements by
which it will have much more extensive
circulation, inasmuch as we now issue a
daily and weekly. "
Well, then, we are the uncompromising
advocates of Temperance on the plan of
Total Abstinence from intoxicating liquor
as beverage. We expect to urge this prin-
ciple upon the attention of the whole COM
munity. We shall urge the propriety Of. the
abolition Of all license for the sale, as be-
verage, Of intoxicating drinks; but in this
we wish to submit the matter to the soyer-
eign people. Thus, we feel it our duty to
state our grand object We be'eve, in its
accomplishment, it will carry meny other
very important matters, of interest to the
welfare Of every class of our, country, and
perpetuate our free institutions.
But it may be important for us to state
what we will not do. We will not inter-
fere with the religious or political opinions
of any. We only wish to carry our prin-
ciples to them where they now. are, to be le-
fit them in time, and thereby fit them better
to prepare for their final account.
