Thut town of the size OF Plymouth
posse.sing the business advantages it does
and the extensive trade i, already has
and surrounded as il is by an intelhgen
and reading community, should have
been so long without a newspaper, is
matter of no little astonishment to us
True, an attempt was once made. but the
failure certainly was not brought about
from want of encouragement on The ar'
Of the people. We shall make another
attempt, feeling perfectly confident that o
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 desperandum is our motto;
if we cannot command success, we shall
do our best to deserve it.
|, 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 that
there are but few, if any towns of the
same size in the State, TO which more
reading matter is sent, than to ours. But
in this day of progression, people are not
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
it is still too lamen'ably common. coun-
try newspapers were merely compendi-
ums--and poor ones too, at that--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-
ton 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 comport
with its general usefulness.
Our object will be to make the AdUe''
tiser suitable to all readers, consequently
it will not eSpouse the cause of any part.
We can do this quite conscientlously. az
the purity and incorruptibility Of the
present political parties may very wei
be disputed. Time and experience have
demonstrated that the principal difference
as well as the difference in principle, be
tween them, is the "ive loaves and twc
fishes" and the strife is, who shall ge

ably ruined by Whig-isms, Or Locofoc'
misrule. We are opposed to all dema
goguism, and it is high time that ever,
true lover of his country should shu
down on those who practise it. Blu
whilst we eschew party politics, so do w
despise neutrality. We prefer to pursu
middle course, and therefore purpos
that the Advertiser shall be an sndepend

we are determined to speak them fearless
lessly and candidly, on all topics whlc
may be Of importance to our readers
without being trammeled by party ties, q
awed by favor. This is an age Of pre-
gress. and we shall allow ourselves the ez
pans've platform of speaking on politic'
subjects, just what we conscientiously b'
lisve to be right and proper.
To the literary Department Of tt
Advertiser, we shall pay particular attel
ton. Its columns will be enriched weel
ly, with selections Of prose and poell
from the best sources we may be able
command. To this feature of our pape
} we commend the especial attention
our Lady readers, assuring them that not
ing of the least immoral tendency sh:
! ever be found in its pages.
For the Farmer, we shall devote pc
l ton of our paper to the subject Of Ag
ture, and such other subjects as mi
: be of interest to him. The day is p;
