The Evansville daily journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ia. [i.e. Ind.]) 1848-1862, 1859-12-27


brings upon US a terrible and enduring f.
nancial revulsion, at time when our coun-
try is at profound peace with the world
INDUCES in the most criminal prohigacy,
fanaticiSm, and extravaganza, thus belieing
its professions of economy, and throwing a
tremendous burden of debt upon people
who are already oppressed to the last point
of ndurance-exercises system Of pro-
Scription, terrorism, espionage, and bribery,
that would disgrace an absolute despotism-
opposes those two great measures, "a Pacific
Railroad and a Homestead Law designed
for the best interests of the West, and the
whole country-foments diScord and hatred
between the North and South, and keeps in
ii continual turmoil the people of each sec
ton, who ought to live together in harmo-
ny;-in short, that party which takes par
ticular pains to do that which it ought not
to do, and leaves undone that which it ought
to do. Will not the people of this region
arise and assist in destroying this q Pando-
ra's box" of all evils2
The next year is to be season of start
ling interest and significance in public
affairs. new Administration is to be put
in power; several important questions of
public policy are to be discussed and decid-
ed our State officers are to be changed
new representative for this district in Con-
gress is to be elected; a new Legislature is
to be chosen, which will have to re-district
the State for Congressional purposes, elect a
United States Senator and do other highly
important business and it may be that the
longer endurance of the Union, even, is to
be tested. On all these matters we expect
to speak freely our sentiments, taking the
best interests Of this people as a guide in
our efforts.
Business Matters shall receive particular
attention in this paper. We desire, and
will endeavor, to make the Journal relia-
BILE source of commercial information

The EcqnsUikte Journal is one of the old
institutions of "The Pocket 1t has
grown with the growth and strengthened
with the strength of this portion of our
commonwealth, and can lay just claims to
the consideration and support of those ada
cent portions of Illinois and Kentucky with
which the interests of Evansville are iden-
tilted. We, therefore, do not hesitate to So
licit patronage from those quarters.
Our ambition is to produce a paper en-
tirely worthy the growth and importance OF

city. We confidently expect to receive the
good wishes of the people for whom we labor
in the shape of subscriptions, advertisements

aid we do not ask as gratuity, but expect
to give full value for all we receive.
We have decided on the cash prepayment
system, as the only correct one, and have
reduced the prices of our subscription as low
as they can be made with safety. Our
terms are invariably cash IN ad0dnee. In
return, we promise the full worth of the
subscription price.
