The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1853-06-23
To our Subscribers.

This week we come out in a new dress
and very nauch enlarged, so we hope the
complaint about the diminutive size of the
Pioneer is entirely obviated, and that in
future we viii receive support to justify
our improvements. If the citizens of Wy
andot county win lend us the proper aid,
we will attempt to keepup with the growth
and progress Of the present age; but if
limited to a bare living, without prospect
of any gain, whatever, in future, then
must our labor become burthensome and
our paper fall short of what we would
have it. Wewould like to be able to point
out the many reasons why persons living
in this county should take their local pa
per, but will be satisfied for the present
with giving a few of the leading ones
In the first place, we have a great deal Of
local news that can be secured in the
county paper alone, All are aware of the
many legal and other advertisements that
are published in the Pioneer, and nowhere
else. These advertisements are some
times very important to the citizens of the
county. Secondly, we give greater poriety
of news than any of the, literary papers
published in any of the cities; for they
generally publish few long, soft, lou, or
other yarns, written by one or two per-
sons, while We copy from very large list
of exchanges. Thirdly, the local paper
can do more in one weeks issue, for the
town Of Upper Sandusky and county of
Wyandot than the New York, Boston
and Philadelphia prints can do in six
months. We make these assertions bold
sly and without fear of successful contra
diction.. Then, with these facts before
you, have we not right to expect lib
eral support from you?
The Pioneer being Democratic in poll
tics, may cause some persons to object to
it on that score, and such objections are
too smaNto be noticed, as it is q plain case,
we cannot suit allparties politically We
have our own views upon all matters, and
presume other men have their pecu
liar notions, SO that objections on tkis
grounds should at once be cast aside
While we publish this paper, it shall deal
courteously with all political opponents.
We will always attempt to steer clear Of
the personal abuse used by many of the
political papers of the present day, and TO
establish reputation, for truth and fair
ness that will be commended by every
one.i
It is the best way to lay down the rules
and regulations by which we will be gov
erned in the start, in relation to charges
and publications. Heretofore it has been
the rule to compel the publishers of pa
pers to publish all calls for meetings of
their party, free of charge. Now, we
want it perfectly understood, that our labor
is worth just as much as any persons else,
and that in future we will charge for all
such publications, and contribute our part
towards paying such expenses. We are
always ready and willing to contribute our
portion of money and labor to every
thing pertaining to the Democratic party,
or any other good work; but when it comes
to standing the whole blunt, we must de-
cline the pe,y great honor. The rules, in
relation to announcing names of candi-
dates, as heretofore adopted, will be OBJ
served All other advertising will be
charged as usual. We can see no reason
/ why editors should contribute their whole
labor to tie party to which tley belong,
and to be plain, we will here declare, that
we cannot be so used, in future.
We will attempt to keep our readers
posted upon all matters of importance,
particularly in relation to tie business of
our own county. The markets in the va
rious cities, will also be noticed. In fact,
we will endcavor to make ours, a nepspa-
per-one that will be welcomed by every
! one who may read it.
We will have letters from California
frequently, keeping us advised of the do
ings in that land of gold and our readers
shall have the benefit of all the news of
importance that we receive from that re-
gion.
The farmer, mechanic, merchant, and
every class, will find our columns open for
the free discussion of such matters as may
be deemed to be of general bene fit to
the public.
1t is hardly necessary for us to say
more, but will merely state, that we will
be free, fearless and independent in all our
publications, and will be thankful to all
who may render us any aid in getting
subscribers or job work.
EE- The PIONEER will be sent to many

hope that they may become such,-

and the paper will be forwarded rcgu-
larly.
