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 a situation at this
time when he can mingle this interest with
that of the business men, and thereby rem
de jouble service to the community, and
st urther 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, al
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 mteres. 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 las, far as it is practicable) gratifed.
Commerce, Literature, and Science, and
every other subject of interest, not inconsls-
tent with Temperance and morality, will re-
ceive the earnest attention OF the publisher
Nothing Of sectarian, political, or personal
character will be admitted.

5000 men, is marching on the city of Mexico
from St. Louis Poiosi, 800 miles off, and that
there will be no opposition to htmin the city
The grounds Of his pronunciamento are, the in

of Texas. 1t is suspected that foreign.nation
was indirectly concerned in tie movement. II
is said that the dispatches were received on
