THURSDAY, JANUARY 6, 1853.
TIE OUTSIDERS.

This is q large and highly respectable
class. They number many more than may
at frst be supposed, and exert powerful
'nnuence on society. When you inquire
carefully into the facts, you win find, after
AL that the ms who are anxious to keep in,
and the outs who are equally anxious not
TO be kspt out, compose but small moiety
OF the great mass. With the exception of
the so-called '1eaders," there is not yery
large body Of Americans who take sniff.
GENTLY deep interest in mere party move-
ments, to continue much excited with the
regard to them. They have their opinions
they watch them; they talk, and hear. and
read concerning them; they make up their
minds; they express their opinions and
there is an end of that matter. Jonathan
hke' they then turn to something else and
nrst being sure they are right, thew 90 ahend
Now it is this numerous and ;nt,,on.;.,
class OF society-the Outsiders-the Lockers
on IN Ferona-the people who have pronertv
at stake and not mere party to serye-tbat
we address In the columns of the Eyeu;no
'''ar' The independent people among u.s.
ana elsewhere, want just such a paper as
we propose to give them. Not that thew or
we nave any fault to find with the papers now
mere. Not that those papers are not con-
quoted with marked ability, and fail to ex-
ert their appropriate influence in their an.
propriate spheres. But, then, there is still
want In the community not yet supplied
"a want that is above and beyond party or
sect-and that real want we intend faith
fully to supply.
we were amused, few evenings since
with practical illustration of the state If
things, by little incident that occurred in
this wise:
NEWS Boy IN FRONT OF HOTEL.
Boy" 'Ere's yer mornin' papers!''
Gent" Have you the Union, bow ?"
6oy.-"No, SIR! Amt got no Union.
Don't sell Democrat papers,"
Gent" Well, have you the Zntezziqen.
ce7?''
Boy.-"No, stree! I amt. Don't sell
Wing papers,
Gent" What papers do you sell ?"
Boy.-"O! 'NewYork 'Erald,' sBaltimer
Sum- and TRY bune.'"
Gent" Didn't you know the Herald is
Demo cratic? %
Boy.-"No? Is it, tho? Wall, sell
the 'Erald, any how!'
Exit boy, crying out, CERES yer morn
in papers!''
Now this is the way it goes The case
OF that boy is the case of thousands in the
community; they don't care so much about
party papers, but they are willing to read
lndep endent political articles, wherever and
whenever they find them in public journals.
Then there is large class of persons in
inherent States who want a paper from
washington that will be entirely free from
all party influence. When they get a paper
OF thas party or that party, they expect as
matter OF course, that all its statements of
what is done or doing here willsbe tinged
more or less, lit can't be otherwise, with
their party predictions and personal pre-
1erences. But not so with the Star. Our light
Is no one-sided affair. Like the Sun itself our
little Star shines for ALL. All shall be
equally Illuminated by its evening ray. All
snail be fairly represented in it's columns,
Pledged to no party's arbitrary sway,
We soar with TRUTH where'er she leads the way.
Here endeth the first lesson"
