With this number we present our read
ers with oar enlarged sheet, and, in pre-
senting it, are confident that We are offer
ing larger paper. containing more reading
matter, and executed in better style, than
any other coantry paper in the State, for
the same price. As for ourself. we have
been connected with the paper now half
year; and, during that time, have labored
industriously to make the Democrat
an acceptable visitor among our patrons,
and worthy, SO far as may be, of the great
pri cip.es and party it represents.
We began our labors, as all have to be-
gin, without experience; and if we have had
our faults. our zeal should hide multitude
of them; in the meantime. we trust we
have learned some useful lessons, and for
the future be better prepared for. the work
before US. We skall continue, as hitherto,
10 devote ourself and best energies to the
interests Of the Democrat, and leave
no means untried to make it interesting to
our various readers.
Not less than ourself are the Publishers
interested in making the Democrat !"
worthy OF public favor. Few, save those
who have had experience in The printing
and publishing business, know anything Of
the labor, and expense attending the publ
cation of paper of this size; and yet.
with all this. they have reduced the price
TO an unprecedented degree, hoping there
by to receive such number Of promptly
paying subscribers as shall enable them to
sustain themselves at these rates.
Il is scarcely necessary for US to revert
to the importance of home-raper. It's al
vantages have been so frequently set forth,
and are so clearly obvious to all, that no
one of ordinary Intelligence can fail to see
them at glance. We would not say any
thing against oar city papers, or in any
way discourage their patronage: but we do
claim preference for home-paper above
all others. It is purely domestic institu-
tion,-the special guardian of It's patrons
interests, and the type of the spirit and In
telIigeace Of tie people. Ii it does no. con-
tain as much reading matter as papers from
our great commercial posts, it contains
more that is directly interesting to the
reader; it is the representative and eypoun-
der of homethoughts, home-cducation,
home-improvements, home-news, & home
reading generally. With This idea Of
what a home paper should be. we shall en-
deavor to make the :" Democrat well
como visitor at every Eearthstone.
We have now stated briefly what we pro-
ose to do for our patrons, let US next in
.uire what our patrons propose to do for
Is. As publishers of worthy county
paper, we desire. and expect. the earnest
cooperation of all our citizens; but, es-
pecially. of the friends of that party whose
principles We represent. Every Democrat
ought to feel personal interest in his home
organ-ought to labor for its success, as
Ire would for the success of his party,
since one is the type of the other. We
are now about to enter on an important
State campaign, aud in order that Demo
Gratis may show themselves worthy of the
principles they advocate. they must be
early IN the field, and labor assiduously.- :
The canvass will be highly exciting one,
and all. who desire to be kept informed Of
the political news and movements, gener-
ally. throughout the State, will find the
..Dcmocra, a faiihfsl reporter Of the
same.
I1visw then. of the inducements offered
with OR enlargement. which. we repeat
are not to be equalled BY any in the State,
we trust we shall receive some remunera'
ton in tho increase Of our subscription
list, and the prompt payment Of those OLD
outstanding dues. which have been so long
accommodating Then, indeed, shall We
know prosperous times, and have better
heart 20 labor for the common ,ause.
