lhut to"u Oi me size OF flymoutb,
possessing the business advantages it does,
and the extensive trade j, already has,
and surrounded as it is by an inlelligen,
bnd reading community, should have
been. SO long without newspaper, is a
matter of no little asionishment to US.
True, un attempt was once made, but the
failure certainly was not brought about
from want Of encouragement on The part
OF the people. We shall make another
attempt, feeling perfectly confident that a
good paper can and will be sustained, es-
pecially as we are determined not only to
make it useful, but actually necessary,
resting assured that by sparing no efforts
to make our sheet vehicle Of local, as
well as foreign interest, people will pat.
ronize it. MI desperdndum is our motto;
If we cannot command success, we shall
do our best to deserue it.
Ii must be at once evident to any one
acquainted with the wants Of the people
here, that paper is much needed. The
statistics Of our post-office will show tina,
there are but few, if any towns Of the
same size in the State, to which more
reading matter is sent, than to ours. Bul
in this day of progression, people are no,
satisfied with importing their intelligence
from abroad they wish to have papers
in their immediate neighborhood, which
will keep them informed of what trans
pires in their own section of country.
Until within short time, and we regret
ii is still too lamen ably common, conn
try newspapers were merely compendi-
ums--and poor ones too, at ,hat--of city
journals, apparently thinking it worth
their while to pay little or no attention TO
what occurred in their locality; and to
this cause, probably, more than any other,
may be ascribed the insignificant circula-
lion and influence of the country press,
generally, and the corresponding increase
of country subscribers to city papers. In
this matter we shall endeavor to intro
duce an improvement, making Our paper
as local in its character, as will compott
with its general usefulness.
Our object will be to make the Adyer.
hsrr suitable TO all readers, consequently
IT will not espouse the cause Of any part :.
We can do this quite conscientiously, as
the purity and incorrupliblily of the
present political parties may very we'll
be disputed. Time and experience have
demonstrated thatthe. principal difference,
as well us the difference in principle, be-
tween them, is the "five loaves and two
fishes" and the strife is, who shall get
them. Were it not for spoils, The "dear
PEI Pile" would not be bored annually with
pdtr,otic appeals, from disinteresied Office.
hunters, TO come forward and save this
GLORIOUS Republic" before it is irredeem
ably ruined by Whig-isms, or Locofoco
misrule. We are opposed TO all dema.
goguism, and it is high time that every
true lover of his country should shu
down on those who practise it. But
whilst we eschew party politics, so do we
despise neutrality. We prefer to pursue
a middle course, and therefore purpose
that the Adrertiser shall be an independ
ent sheet. Having minds of our own
we are determined to speak them fearless
lessly and candidly, on all topics which
may be OF Importance to our readers
without being trammeled by party ties, o.
awed by favor. This is an age of pro
gress, and we shall allow ourselves the ex
pansve platform of speaking on politica
subjects, just what we conscientiously be
lieve TO be right and proper.
10 the Literary Department Of tn,
Advertiser, we shall pay particular atten
lion. Its columns will be enriched week
ly, with selections of prose and poetry
from the best sources we may be able tt
command. To this feature of our paper
we commend the especial attention o
our Lady readers, assuring them that moth
ing of the least immoral tendency shal
ever be found in its pages.
For the Farmer, we shall devote por
ton OF our paper to the SUBJECT Of Agri
ture, and such other subjects as may
be of interest TO him. The day is pas
when "book, farming" is sneered at
agriculture is becoming a subject of sci.
enlilic Observation-Disclosures who wish
to keep up with the progress of the day
ofthose who are disposed to improve on
what their fathers did-will be forced tc
iuform themselves of everything which
may pertain to their profession. Such
we think, will derive material benefit
from what we publish on the subject. We
shall also give correct reports of the mar,
kets, in this and other places, and endeav.
Or to make them as reliable as possible.
But while paying due attention to the
above departments, we shall by no means
neglect the general reader. With the aid
of the Telegraph, and the speedy trans.
mission Of intelligence bv railroad, we
expect to furnish our readers with teh
very latest current news of the day, and
as there is, at present every appearance
of stirring times in Europe, we will! give
such compendium of foreign news, as
will keep the readers of the Advertiser
well posted up in everything of import
ance which may transpire across the AT.
lantic.
