ed ~ our social as well as our political
interest. He had no dOub, that this
would be dssenied from, as opposition
was made to the acquisition Of LouIsi-
ana, Florida. California, and the annexa.
,ion of Texas; bu, The wisdom OF those
measures are now generally acknowl-
edged, having resulted in a great benef,
10 our common county.
He then stated the reasons why we
should urge negotiations al the earliest
>-day possible, as the liberation of the
slaves on tina, island would interfere with
the domestic institutions of the South.
Spain must yield. and France and En-
gland must submit. If Spain should
Frefuse liberal compensation, she must
abide the consequences, as il is our ne
cessity demands she shall make the sac
rifice, which will rebound to our pros
perity. and to the happiness Of the hu.
man family. We should take measures
for the purchase of the Island without
delay, and call on Spain 10 name her
terms. Ii she will not do so, he would

Eternal Vigilance Is The price Of Liberty
PROSPECTUS OF THE FREE CITIZEN.
PAPER FOR THE pEOpIE

THE undersigned proposes to publish at the seat Of
i government Of Pennsylvania, an Independent De-
mocratic weekly newspaper under the above title ;
and, in announcing this purpose, We deem IL proper
10 refer briefly to few of the general principles which
ihal govern our course.
The Scripture teaches that Tod created in his
own image" and that all mon consequently breth
rem. The Declaration of Independence recognises
this truth whom Il declares that "a created
equal, and that they endowed by their Creator
with certain nalienablc rights, among which life
liberty and the pursuit of happiness"
We believe in the Constitution of the United States
which declares its purpose TO be Ito form per-
feet union establish justice insure domestic tranquil
ty promote the general welfare and the bios
sings of liberty, and hold that all its provisions
should be construed in accordance with this general
purpose.
This was tho position and purpose Of the sas cs Of
the Revolution and we their descendants should la
Dor 10 the blessings of individual liberty and
national liberty.
We believe in Dcmocracy-a government by the
People and for tho Pooplein the Democracy Of froe
thought FREQ speech free conscience free labor and
free men.-n the Democracy which loathcs 0ppros
sion and which docs not bend its back to sustain the
interests Of Class however powerful imposing its
numbers or position. Democracy which does this
which dcspises the People, undertakes their ntcll
gence disregards their opinions and abuses their
Gdence, we look upon ms prctcnce and sham. III
man Is to be considered merely n stall fed animal
to be satisfied when filed with creature comforts then
win free citizens and free aborers be oked upon MS
a nuisance and an membranes; but not whoa they
regarded as the life blood Of the Republic We
have been told that such paper ms we propose TO
print cannot 1.-Two in the atmosphere of Harrisburg
that the politicians Of Pennsylvania have so debauch-
ed her public sentiment to crush out all regard for
Justice, Humanity and the Rights Of Man as pro-
claimed in the Declaration Of Independence but we
do not believe this. Every friend Of freedom and do
mocracy has personal interest in the reputation Of
the Commonwealth, and trust every friend Of the
cause will do his part to sustain THE FaKR CITIZEN
and refute this SANDER on the Keystone State.
TKRMs-THE FREE CITIZEN will be printed
on n large and handsome sheet, mt Two Dollars per
year, payable invariably in advance. Three copies
will be sent for So copies for So; and 10 copies
