To Patrons.
II there be any shortcomings in the Journal this
week we trust that our subscribers will make gener
GUS excuse for u.s. when they reflect that have reno
we'd all our materials since our last Fridays issue-tha
the new building in which arc, is still in course
of competion-that the machnists still engaged in
getting our new machinery and fixtures in Order-that
we have been for part of two days in the enjoyment of
a drenching storm Of wind and rain-that in fact,
have had considerable number of difficulties to over
come which, however, haze overcome without losing
more than one issue of our Daily and at all of
Weekly.
In a short time we hope to get matters and things
straight and to have our establishment arranged
to facilitate the transaction of every department of our
business and to enable US to serve patrons in the
best manner When this is done We really fear that
NAV be tempted to feel somewhat vain of Office and
its surroundings which, in good truth will not be dis
creditable to the first town in the State We shall then
take pleasure in seeing our friends from the town and
country.
The time is rapidly approaching for the meeting of
new Congress- and indeed the next year being that of
Presidential election, politics and political subjects will
soon begin to brisk upto receive new life and and i'm
petus We propose to watch closely the action of par
bring them to the test of prncpe-to take up and
anime the issues between the Democratic party and its
opponentsto 90 over all the charges of extravaganza
etc. brought against the Democratic party of the State
and the nation with view to their reutation, stead
fast adherence to facts and arguments will bring about
this result as we feel confident it will. 10 plain terms
we mean to do our full duty to the Democratic party in
the campaign of the coming year, without abuse mis-
representation or concealment and not any sup
posed party allegiance shall induce us to sustain what
our convictions of party principle do not fully accord
with.
We ask our old friends and new ones to embark
with US in this voyageto enlist with us in the campaign
or rather these campaigns. We ask them to lend US
helping hand by assisting to extend circulation
we will endeavor to do part in way that they neet
not be ashamed of.
Our paper will be as much as ever party paper anC
as little as ever a mere party organ. People want tt
know what the world is doing in other matters besides
those of politics the general and commercial intei
gence of our own and foreign countries the progress
literature and science and art-the changing aspects
Europeans well as of American affairs, must make up
large portion Of the reading of any community. W.
want to lay before our readers transcript of the living
age IN all us aSectS not merely III one aSpecI' anu '"
want it to be as correct as we can make it.
One thing more we dc want and it is this. We wan
our friends generally throughout the State to send
brief accounts of any matters of interest importance
in their respective localities They thus assist il
the spread of information, and confer favor upon
which we will be happy,to rcciprocatc in any way il
our power
We are on the Threshold of a new volume A it'll
cxerton on the part Of those who wish us well will d
much to enable us to make still greater improvement
in paper and they may rest assured that our exeI
tions will increase with our means of making them.
BY the way, our facilities for the prompt execution
job Work will be much increased and we will be read
to wait upon friends and can promise that the
will not be under the necessity of oroHng too long Go
their work. For any delays his week, VIC feel assure
that no further excuses will be necessary.
