INTRODUCTORY.


The establishment of the first press in a
Territory is always an important and inter-
esting event; and this we feel to be peculi-
arly so, in the establishment of one in the
Territory of Kansas. :
We comrnence-our efforts under a COM
bination of circumstances, peculiarly inter-
esting and exciting, and therefore great
wisdom, prudence and mod eration are in
dispensible in conducting a press at. this
tiaae and IN this place; more, indeed, of
these qualities are needed than we profess
to have. At the same time, the qualities
of truth, honesty and frmness, were never
more requisite on the part ofs Journalists
than at this time. -s,e
Our course shall be. straight forward,
open, undisguised, repudiating alike, on
the one hand, violence and ulraism, in the
defence and advocacy of our principles; and
on the other, every form and species of
Maehiavelian policy that substitutes craft,
cunning, duplicity and falsehood, for truth,
honesty and manly fairness and integrity
policy as crooked as the course of the
serpent, and whose principles are as poi
sonous as the virus of its fangs.
AS honest journalists we deem it neces-
sary to define our positions and declare our
political creed. We are Democrats, and
will advocate and defend the well estab-
lished and long tried principles of that de-
mocracy, which has conducted our country
to the elevated station she holds among the
nations of the earth-that has made her the
wonder and admiration of the world, and
the dread of tyrants.
We will also defend to the utmost of our
abilities the constitution, the lasus and the in
stitutioms of our country, firmly believing,
that with the preservation of the same is
identified the preservation Of our union and
our liberties. We will, therefore, oppose
all fanatical and factious movements, in
every quarter every name and on every
pretext, that opposes itself to that constitu-
ton, those laws and institutions
Subscribing with all our hearts to the
true and safe democratic doctrine, that the
majority shall rule, that its will and decis-
ions shall be the supreme law of the land
we will oppose steadfastly all endeavors
to counteract the same, and count those as
enemies, who will not submit thereto, when
legally and consitutionally declared
As pioneers of the press in this new and
beautiful Territory, we will carefullywatch
over her interests, defend her rights, advo-
cate her claims and endeayor to promote
her interests and welfare. Believing that
an intelligent and moral press is a power
full agent in elevating the character of a
people, in correcting and purifying public
sentiment, we will do our utmost to make
our paper an efficient instrument in that
behalf We look for favor and assistance
In our labors, to the friends of virtue, law
and order, and to the lovers of our country
and her glorious constitution.
