OPENING OF THE GRAVE OF DIxwELL.-
We learn from the New Haven Palladium that
yesterday morning the bones of Col John Dix
well, one of the renowned Judges who caused
King Charles the First to be executed, were ex-
humed from their resting place in the rear ofthc
Center church in that city, where they had lain
since 1853, the time of his death. The skele-
ton was in tolerably good preservation. The
proceeding was instituted by Mr.. Dixwell of
Boston, descendant of the Rcgicidc who is a.
bout to erect monument over the grave. The
bones were gathered up, enclosed in small box,
and recommitted to the grave, where they will
probably never be disturbed again.-[Exchange

The Democratic pioneer. [volume] (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1845-1853, 1849-04-06
PROSPECTUS
FeRTHE
Democratic Pioneer.

The undersigned have this day entered in.
to copartnershp for the publication of the
Democratic Pioneer, to be devoted to Poll
tics, Literature, Education, Agriculture, Mis-
celany, the general news of the day, &C.,
&c.
In Politics, the Pioneer will advocate the
principles of the Democratic party, with firm
ness and zeal, keeping in view the great
prime pies taught by the immortal Jefferson,
and also the interests ofthe young and grow
ing county Of Wyandot, which, but few
wears since, was inhabited by the Red man
of the forest-but now the axe and the plow,
in the hands ofthe yeomanry, have caused its
fertile soil to yield full recompense to the
labors of the husbanman. IF the tide Of en-
igration continues TO flow in as it has for the
last few years, Wyandot county will ere long
be one of the first in the State, hence the i'm
portance Of having medium through which
to make known the advantages she possesses.
All will receive portion in due season. The
Farmer, the Merhanic. tie TradPsman and
the Merchant will find in the columns OF the
Pioneer, matters that will be interesting. In
our political coruse we shall be firm, ndepen-
dent and uncompromsing.
We shall endevor TO be courteous to our
opponents, avoiding that low billngsgate
which is too frequently INDUCED in by con.
ductors of public jurnals.
Beleveing that the doctrines of the whig
party if carried into effect would prove deri-
mental to our progressing and free institu
tions, and to the future destiny Of this consol-
idated Republic, we shall ever be found bat
telling against the doctrines of that party.
We have "fupg our banner to the breeze"
and il now remains with the people Of Wy
ando. County to say whether it shall float
trinmphantly, or whether it must drop and fall.
Democrats Of Wyandot lend US helping hand.
