Iowa capitol reporter. [volume] (Iowa City, Iowa) 1841-1855, 1846-02-11
NEW PROSPECTUS
OF THE
IOWA CAPITAL REPORTER

AN equal interest in the CAPITAL Re-
roR TER press, having been disposed otto
Gamer d. PALMER, lateof the Ohio Dem
ocrstic press, who has associated him
self with ADRAHAM H. PALMER in its pub
LEGATION, it will in future be conducted by
them jointly, and published weekly as
heretofore.
The Reporter will be especially devot-
ed to the advocacy and PRONUNCIATION Of
sound democratic doctrines, and will aim
to secure harmony Of sentiment, and con-
cert Of action among the Democracy,
throughout our Territory, or prospective
State. The importance to our party Of a
straight forward, fearless, spirited and eff
cient champion gifts cause, located at the
Capital, must be apparent 10 all, and can
not be toe strongly urged upon the con-
sideration Of our friends. More especial
" is such an organ demanded at the pres
ent crisis, when Iowa is about to cast off
the parental authority Of the General Gov
ernment and take rank with her sister
states; nor is that necessity any the less,
but rather greater, from the fact that the
Democracy are in the ascendant; inasmuch
as that ascendancy imposes the weightiest
obligations upon our party. We would
express the hope that our fellow demo-
Gratis throughout the Territory, will evincc
due appreciation Of these facts, by prompt
" responding to our appeal for their
aid and support, To sustain us in our ef-
forts fully to supply that demand
The various departments Of Literature,
Agriculture, Foreign, Domestic, Political
and Miscellaneous news, will each re-
ceive its due share Of attention. BY a
change in our publication day, which was
made few weeks since, so as to take ad-
vantage Of the arrival and departure Of the
mails, we are now enabled to lay the Re
porter before our readers, replete with all
the interesting items OF current news at a
very early day after its Transportation.
While we will aim 10 blend the instruc-
tive and amusing the grave and the gay
I've will admit nothing in cur columns,
but that which is OF the most unexception-
able character in its moral tone and ten
dency. Our literary and miscellaneous
selections shall be in consonance with the
most correct and refined taste, and such
as will exert a purifying and an elevating
influence upon public sentiment.
Though our first object is, to render the
most efficient service to the cause of De-
mocracy and equal rights, yet we are de-
termined, also, to identify the Reporter
with the general interests and advance
ment of the new, but fertile, thriving and
promising Territory Of Iowa; and to con-
tribute, in no small degree, to the pros
perity and happiness of its citizens.
We would merely state, in conclusion,
that it is our intention, so soon as the pat
ronage shall warrant the expenditure, to
make some very important and material
improvements in our sheet.
