This number can only selve for an introduction.
As democrats we unite together, in an ~organiza-
| ton, to promote certain great and benevolent ends,
and 10 ~inculcate certain principles, believed to be
essential to popular happiness. -four organiza.
ton is not useful to promote the happiness Of the
| People, it is not worth maintaining. But who,
that has once fallen thoroughly in love with the
mild principles Of democracy, entertains any doubts
as to their tendency to promote the general happi.
ness! Then we must resort to discussion to re-
commend them to the world. Here also lies our
vantage ground. Plain, good, hard sense will
make q man a democrat; it takes a long tram o.
sophistical reasoning to make a wing. For in
stance, we believe that a low tariff, that is a low
tax, a light burden upon the People. is the true
policy of the government. The wings, for some
strange, mysterious reason, believe that a high
tariff, in other words a high tax, a heavy burthen
on the People is necessary. Must not our cham
plon be an awkward, unskilful man, if he could
not prevail in the argument, when he has so much
advantage in the outset? Be assured that nothing
is wanting but industry, zeal, diligence and care,
TO insure us a glorious victory. Truth is great
and will prevail! Our wing friends must be
treated like honest and weIl-intentioned men, who
have unfortunately embraced most erroneous and
mistaken opinions. IT we can only avoid ruff1ing
up their prejudices and making them angry, our
mild, generous and happifying doctrines will find
their way to their hearts. Thus we shall at the
same time deliver men from the dark dominion of
E. ,I-Ilo ,~.,.on An a,r ann
try. This is what the subscriber designs to &C.
complish if possible. We intend tn fight the bat
tie, though by possibility we may miss the victory.
There is also a generous emulation amongst the
different democratic counties, which deserves en-
couragement. When the subscriber was standing
on the stage, in the theatre. at the great 9Th of
January Convention, a gentleman advanced to the
front of the stage and in the presence of m
thousands, gave a challenge to all the democratic
counties in the State. The subscriber came up
and caught him in the very act, and tapped him
on the shoulder, and accepted the challenge then
and there. What do you think the challenge was
my friends? Why he said that Holmes should
give a greater proportional majority for Weller,
than any other county in the State. Ought Mon
roe county man to stand that! Ought not such a
challenge to be accepted Instantly Well, men
of the Banner County, it was instantly accepted
your behalf; OH you it devolves to make it
good! We want TO roll up the biggest majority
in Monroe, that has ever been heard of yet. We
leave it to other counties to do we'll; we want Bel
mont and Monroe to do WELLER.
Most Respectfully, &C.,
EDWARD ARCHBOLD.

Close of the Volume,

The present number closes the fourth year since
we commenced the publication of the esprit o.
Democracy" On such all occasion it may not be
deemed inappropriate to call the attention of oul
readers to a few facts:
In the first place, we have labored to promote
the interest and advancement of the democratic
party end it's principles. To that end all our efforts
have been directed. If we have at any time stray
ed from our purpose, it was through a mistaken
view of our duty as an editor, and not an Intention
al error upon our part. We set out with the de-
termination TO labor for "principles and measures,
and for men who will carry those principles and
measures into effect" It is no part of the duty of
IN editor to support men before measures; or one
man before another, when there is and equal dispo-
sition manifested to abide the usages of the party.
We still adhere 10 this course; and in looking back
we see many things 10 cheer US on in our labors for
the advancement Of democratic principles.
In the next place, we regret to say that a num-
Der Of our subscribers have not paid US single far
thing since we commenced the publication Of the
'''Spieh." To all such we would say that ''short
settlements make long friends" And we therefore,
hope that our subscribers will not forget us.
The coming campaign will be peculiarly inter-
ssting. Whoever may be the candidates selected
by the democratic & wing national conventions, the
contest will be one Of animation. Our readers, no
doubt, will engage more or less in the excitement.
We shall keep them advised of the political move
ments Of the day, which, together with various
other matters of importance, will make the next
volume Of our paper doubly interesting. We ex-
pect, therefore, that each one of our subscribers
will try to assist US in extending our circulation.
There is nothing so much calculated to stimulate
the s~xertions Of an editor to make his paper enter
tanning, as a liberal support.

Three Steamboats, Burned!

checked until the steamers Hendrickr

Gen. Seabury Ford.
