introductory A Wing Paper.
Tho circumstances under which the
EvADA JOURNAL Is now and will be
.reafter published require few words
introduction. We therefore take this
pportunity to lay before our readers
hat is to be expected of the JOURNAL,
I'D to define our views and intentions so
early that they maybe fully understood
Before passing to that matter, we wish
express the pleasure we find in re-
ldressins our friends and patrons whose
enerous support and sympathy were SO
hcouraging during the entire period Of
ar former occupation of the editorial
hair. The NEVADA JOURNAL when, in
Ast September wo took it in charge.
Ad neatly ceased to exist. Distrust and
islikc were evinccd equally in the
;ithdrawal of support and in pubic de-
unciation. Thus matters stood when
he paper passed into our hands. In
NO months, by the indulgence of the
public, and by steady industry, and n
Ugh tone in the conduct of the JOURNAL,
Es patronage had increased eight hun
red per cent, and its patrons, general.
y, and tho press Of the State, were
pleased to speak Of it in terms Of the
most fattering character. During our
absence in the Atlantic States, the pa
per has been ably conducted by E. r.
BuDp, ESQ, at present associated with
rs in tho publishing department., gen.
tleman who brought to his task, con-
joined with large ability, the recommen-
dations of unimpeachable integrity and
full experience. Under his conduct, we
are pleased to believe our readers have
been kept well-informed upon matters
of interest, and that no position has been
assumed by the JOURNAL derogatory to
its character.
For the warm welcome back again. -
we have received, VIC return our sincere
thanks, and it shall be our ann, by faith
fulness to our re.assumed charge, 10 af-
ford qualification to those whose kindly
regards have been SO freely expressed
in word and deed.
As an Independent paper, We have
ever claimed tho right to discuss men
and measures whenever it pleased us,
vet we have scrupulously kept alooi
from partiality to any party as such.
Whatever our political bias, so long as
we edited paper believed to be neutral
in politics, We disdained to abuse our
trust by turning it in any degree into
an engine Of political warfare. Now
We DROP THE PLEDGE OF NEUTRALITY,
and the NEVADA JOURNAL is, and hence.
forth will be, q WHIc PAPER. A great
md exciting political canvas is at hand,
and we aim to use our whole influence
towards the success of Whig principles
and Whig candidates. To this end we
shall give not only our own earnest ex-
ertions, but shall concentrate the Wing
talent of Nevada county ss fur as possi-
blo in our columns. Upon all matters
at issue, we shall be uncompromisingly
Whig; yet our course will be marked
by courtesy and consideration towards
our opponents. We believe the mass
Of the people act upon honest differences;
and VIC believe the prevalence of Whig

mcnt of this State be rescued from the
hands Of the party who for nearly three
years have con ;rol!ed its finances but to
