Nearly four years ago the Minnesota Weekly
Times cane before the public, and from that
period to the present it has been battling for
the cause of freedom and the rights of man,
regardless of the ties of party or the sneers and
jibes of partizm leaders BY pursuing a con-
sistent and straightforward career, by persist
ent devotion to principles, it has won It's way
to public favor, and notwithstanding it is the
youngest of the city press, it has attained a
very large and rapidly increasing circulation.
This has been accomplished, not by system
Of self-laudation, but by the spontaneous pat
ronage of its friends throughout Minnesota and
the Eastern States.
The Times has ever advocated, and will con-
tinue to advocate, the cause OF the people, and
/ in doing so it has advocated the cause of the
great Republican party whose principles it has
warmly espoused and will Aefend to the best
of its ability. 1t never has and never will pam
der to the vices Of the vicious, and never finch
es from graphing with error wherever it exists.
1t believes in au honest utterance Of the truth
lin adhering to right, justice and temperance
- iu an outspOken, manly condemnation Of
wrong - in a just appreciation Of the wants of
the honest settler, to whom home shoald be
guaranteed by Congress, and in the develop
ment of all those resources which are Gales lat
ed to place us first among the States of this
great confederacy.
Many new features will be added to the
TIMES in the course of the year 1858. We shall
spare no pains to procure the latest and most
reliable news both at home and from abroad
shall publish wecklya full and correct re-
port of the Markets, = and shall at all times

This poem was written by J. l.. JOY cE,
and was originally published in this paper
about eighteen months since, and has
been extensively copied by the press of
the country. n orT9y #Ir :
Mr.. JOYCE died in July last ut an efr,y
age, and in an obituary notice we pub
lished a poem entitled "THAr LAND" the
last of his productions. We again print
the two closing stanzas, as it will do no
one harm to re-read them:
i see no forms upon thy amber bridges,
My eye not perfect, and the way vet long
But there are angels on the crystal ridges,
For l have heard the harp notes of their song.
No gloomy clouds o'erhang thy golden noun
tains,
No shadows lie around thy holy hills :"
No cold to hush the music of thy fountains
No death 10 bid the raptured heart be still
No sigh of pain, no eating tooth of sorrow
No looking back to loved ones dear and
gone HH
No doubts. to dim the glory clad tomorrow
But Love, and Truth, eternal. on and or.
Bright Land of God of Prophet, Saint and
Angel
My world of pictures painted on the sky
I'm nearing fast; thy ever-shining border,
One epf:om Earth, and shall never die
