year 1851, We might advert to many !
matters which are cheering and soul
stirring, and others Of quite differ
ent character. With a desire to forget
tie bad, We refrain from any allusion
to tie latter, further than to thank
God that it is as well with Us as it is;
and we will only speak 81 the former,
SO fat as itrelates to the FAYETTEVILLE
OBSERVER. This parsonage, in the
shape Of a Newspaper, made its en-
trance into this goodly land at the
commencement of the year 1851,
somewhat unexpectedly, and almost
without avowed friends, leaning on
the arm Of its proprietOrs and pro-
genitors for assistance aid recon-
incubation to the favor of the public
for support. 1T has been steadily
gaining ground during the entire
year-meeting with but little to
check its onward march to that haven
OF success so much desired byvits
owners and numerous friends. Upon
disappearance on the stage of action,
like the infantof the hardy and des-
titute pioneer, it had its own difficult
ties, and Ind to await the maturity of
! IS well proportional comihencement
fpr a stout and masculine frame. -
This it has done with fortitude aud
unparalleled success. 1t has grown
from the dependent infantto the ro-
bust and hardy giant-and is now
ready and competent to hew its way
through the thickest Of the fight.
Relying upon the well tried and long
cherished principles OF democracy, it
bids far to grow even yet stronger
and more useful. From the small
acorn it has grown to. the oak, stand
ing firm and sturdy to tRe interest
Of The entire people-gi4ing no en-
enlargement to excluSi6nists, but
putting forth its best efforts to adj
vance the interest and happiness Of
all The farmer, the mechanic, the
merchant, the professional man, and
the politician, alike share It's aid, and
enjoy share of its untfrIng energy
to promote their welfare. The virtu-
Gus and prudent have nothing to
fear, although they entrust their all
to 81 ch hands, In word, the paper
has welded, and will continue to WELD
the influence it may posse ISIS on the
side Of virtue and correct principles
It's past success-having made its
appearance with but few names on
its List, while it now numbers owe,
five hundreds a sure guarantee 81
its aceeptabilyy with the peopl e.
fSearcely week passes without an
addition to our List and in many
instances a number are recorded in
the same day.
With these nattering prospects
before us, We are prepared to say to
the people Of LINCOLN, and the de-
mocracy. particularly, our march is
onward, and our efforts shall succeed.
We confidently anticipate many more
happy results, before the close of the
year 1852, NIT only ID behalf of the
OBSERVER, but to the democracy and
the country GENERALLY. Among these,
stands prominent, ard most 10 be de-
sired, the election Of democratic
President Of the United States, and
the delivery of.the country from whig
nisrnle and imbecile management.
Finally, we believe that the Subscrip-
tionListof the FAYETrEyILLE OBSERVER
win number one thousand, before The
end Of 1852 TO our many noble
friends we say, continue to aid us BY
your well-timed efforts to extend cur.
business, and we will continue toI
make the OBSERVER the best News
paper ever issued in good old Lincoln.
