THE CALIFORNIAN FOR '58.

l.
With the beg inning Of the year Eighteen
Hundred and Fitty-Eight, THE CALEDoNIAN
enters upon the last half of its twenty-first
wear. Thoroughly identified with the inter
cstS of the County of Caledonia, and to quite
an extent with the growing prosperity of the
Counties of Essex and Orleans. it needs not
now define its position nor advocate its claims.
Through all these years, it has been the ad
vocate Of Home Industry. and the untiring
defender of Il Free North and a Free People,
The year Eighteen hundred and Fifty-S Sew
en- will mark an era in the history of the
world. The wrongs that Kansas has been
made to endure for the last two years, Hun
gary and Poland never new. ard Russia or
Austria would blush for shame were it told
them. But the doctrine that no human be-
ing was ever created for the benefit or advan
tagc of another-that no one is to labor and
sweat to minister to others luxury or lust
but for the comfort of those near and dear
now the news comes to us that the Free
State Party is victorious. and con-
strained to thank God that Kunsox wW get be
,rrci She must be free for God rcign>. and
earth was not created to be a theatre of in
Justice and oppression forever. She must be
free for the myrmidons of Slavery, even with
Executive sanction and cooperation, cannot
always prevail against Truth and Right. We
believe that the history of the downfall
of Oppression will date from this wear. There
is especial need therefore. at the present
time. for that kind of information derived
from the newspapers.
THE CMEDoNLAN is devoted 20 no partic
ular class. and no one idea or ism will be
allowed an undue proportion of its space. \
condensed account of important events as
they transpire will be prominent feature Of
the paper. The advantages OF our position
enable us to present without delay every item
of intelligence as it occurs. and as a ne~s-
paper W. intend TIE C.,!.EDoNIAN shall be
second to no paper in the State.
In its Political discussions TIE CAIEDONI-
An will continue to advocate first of all, not
alone the evil of Slavery in the abstract, but
the crime and folly of allowing i, to manage
our entire system of government, and to ex-
tend its area in violation of faith and solemn
compact. 1t will not in its political discuss
ions. lose sight of the fact that error must be
grapplcd with something more potent than
mere assertion and while it gives promi-
nencc to discussions of the great questions
of the (lay, it will lose none Of the character
istics of Business and Family Newspaper
In its Local department we shall endeavor
to have THE CALEDoNlAN excel: and we trust
the pest will be some guarantee that in this
particular it will not be wanting. We believe
it is the fault of our State papers that they
do not rive prominence enough to Local in
terestS. IfTHE CALIFORNIAN fails in this re-
spect it will not be for want Of pains or eX-
penditurc. Our readers will bear witness
that the past has not been altogether barren
III this respect.
The Correspondence Of THE CALEDoNIA>
is the best the country affords. Although
we do not intrudc original articles on litera
ry or social topics to the exclusion Of the cur
rent news of the day. yet we have regular
correspondents in the South and West whose
productions from time to time are read witt
much interest, and we believe with profit. II
will be the aim of THE CALIFORNIAN to In
Struct, Bencft and -1ntuse.
