Cincinana ii Signal

TO THE WESTERN PEOPLE.
AND ALL INTERESTED IN THE WEST.
The Valley Of the Ohiu is full OF newspapers,
conducted with admitted a bilty, but with special
objects. They constitute the potent machineries
of political parties and religions sects. The East
ern cities have had the monopoly OF our market,
for the circulation of Literary journals, which are
not adopted to the spirit of the Western people,
whatever their other merits. The West should
pesse:s a journal, adapted more prominent than is
usual, to the supply Of such a want |.r4
The undersigned have been so fortunate as 10 be
in frequent and pleasant intercourse with those
Western writers, who can etfectualIy aid his own
inadequate efforts TO furnish a sheet, whose chief
object shall be - minister to the social and intel
l%ectual progress OF the Western people. The
CINCINNATI SIGNAL has been selected for such
a purposes Its publication has lately been chang
eg from a Daily to a Weekly form, 10 facilitate that
object. Already, ample evidence has been afford
ed, that its friends in the West and elsewhere,
welcome The arrangements which have long heen
in contemplation, and are now maturing. The
editor and publisher would, therefore appeal to the
Western people, and all interested IN the West, TO
extend to the present enterprise a prompt and lib
| eral support,
To prevent future misconception, the under.
signed would state thathe should insist upon the
right to discuss the political and social questions
of the day, with the utmost freedom; but always,
as he hopes, in a spirit of independent and candid
inquiry. Il the views. thus honestly advanced,
should meet with dissent, he invites reply through
the Signal, but within the same limits which are
taken for the presentation of the sentiments IN ques
ton. The present is so evidently a condition Of
transition, both as to the opinions of individuals
and communities, that no journal should shrink
from an Independent utterance---certainly not,
when full license is afforded for remonstrance and
refutation. When the public mind shall have sub
sided into anything like hatitual modes of thought
and action, the occasion for such a course will be
less obvious-tbe duty, less imperative.
We may be allowd to claim that the SIGNAL
owes to the careful observance of this rule o~faclion
that its brief existence of a year has secured a Gel
ebrity enviable in this at least. that it extends 10 all
parts of the country. We can see no Cause, in
this respect, to deviate from our former course
As to the future, we would only add. that our ar
engagements include the commercial and current
news; a well sustained literary department; fire.
