A we'd Ia oar own behalc-We reader,
whas - wish 10 say is, FIRST, tina, we are
thankful % you for the confidence and
support you have already given us. Il was
with no liille reluctance thai we consented
70 cater for your taste. as well as for The
/" rest Of mankind knowing something
Of the arduous duties Of an EDITORS lie,
and the perplexities incident thereto. But
now that we are faisly under Roadway,
whatever obstacles may have arisen 10 cur
imagination, must vanish, as VIC are de-
terminsd that nothing lime, expense nor
energy-will prevent US from doing our
duty towards making the Union a paper
suited 10 the tastes Of all classes Of readers.
We intend that the aged. ne young, the
ladies', the Sundfy resder, the Scisnii6r,
me Agricultural and The Miscelhneous-in
fact any person thai can read, shall have
something exactly saited 10 their tastes.
And now reader. you may think thai we
will soon forget this talk with our readers;
that other ideas will occupy our attention.
and that in a short lime VIC will
commence sliding from what we now
promise. If there are any such, we ask
that they reserve their opinion for the
present. And whilst we promise what
we have to many Of our readers, it must be
Uacmbrred that our frs, grand duty is Ia
the Democratic party, and that the columns
Of our paper nus necessarily contain u
portion of the true faith, as laid down and
pracliced by the true men of our party.
We are glad 10 have the pleasure d
announcing 10 our readers, that our arrange.
menis are almost completed for furnishing
BY editorial correspondence, news from
Washington City and Columbus, during
the session Of Congress and the Staff
Legislature. This, we hope, will prove
TO be an interesting feature.
BY means of The telegraph and daily
mails. we are enabled 10 give our reader;
the markets and the current news Of the
day up to the hour Of going to press, and
10 place ii in the hands Of our subscribers
from three 10 four days sooner than they
can get hin any foreign paper.
In view Of these facts then, we ammo
see why any citizen Of Ashland county
should support a foreign paper, filed
with twaddle, long drawn out" possess
ing no interest 10 any person except lhosl
who are fond of a love.sick story. Or
the contrary your county papers aim Il
give in a brief clear and comprehensiv,
manner, all the general and local news O
me day-seiiing lorlh the facts, withou
unu, cessary comments We shall fur,he
deem i, duty as well as a privilege, i
Uphold the principles Of the Democrat
party, and 10 keep a vigilanl watch upo
tie conduct Of public servauls-derendin
The honest and exposing the unfailhfu.
Our thanks are due 10 those Of OF
friends, who, unsolicited, have spontan,
Dusly exeried themselves IN our bchal
Our subscription list has walked rigl
up" 10 a hundred more than we had
FIST, and yet there has been but LII
effort made. Great reason indeed ba'
we to feel proud and gra,ifed in bavil
so many warm and true (rieDds-frien,
who do wait not to be asked 10 lend
helping hand. bu, do il with "right go'
chee,." Their names, though numerou
shall always have a green place IN Il
tablet Of our memory; and we trust,
we know, they never shall have cause
ssgyel the trus, and confidence rcposed
