The Perrysburg journal. [volume] (Perrysburg, Ohio) 1853-1861, 1860-05-03

To the Readers 0f the Journal.
BY the foregoing announcement il will be seen
that the proprietorship o' the Perrysburg Jour
nal has changed hands. AS we do not wish to
waste time and breath in lengthy declaration
OF principles" We will merely remark that in
politics the Journal will endcOvor to enunciate
none but the good sound aud genuine doctrines
Of Republicauism-ever ready and willing to
rend 4 an energetic support To the measures and
candidates of the Republican Party. In assuming
the control of the Journal we beg to be permit
ted to slldde briefly to the post we desire to
occupy, trusting to the kindness OF generous
public for their hearty corporation. We shall
devote a reasonable share Of attention TO the
interests of the County, sound politics, agri-
cultural affairs and general intelligence. Our :
lections will comprise asummory of the doings
OF Congress aud our State Legislature, together
with a variety of all sorts of " odds aud ends"
In regard to the interests of the County, we
shall consider all matters, affecting the reputa.
tion and Advancement Of the community, rs Mt
subjects for discussion aud unimavderS,on. So
ia. as local intelligence is concerned, we hope
our friends throughout the county will be no
way backward in forwarding to the Journa
Office such items oI news as may from time to
time occur in their immediate vicinity,
In matters OF politics, as well as all others
we expect to be guided by the dictates Of justice
and humanity luaexibly opposed TO trickery
and oppression, we hope ever to be found bat
Ting against any great influential party tha
thalI place itself in position To uphold iniqutN
for temporary gain, or political supremacy. Il
plain terms, we are opposed TO the extension o
Slavery by political jngglery, into the Terrific
ries, or by high-hauded extra judicial usurpatian
into the free States. All warng, either dirsc
or indirect, upon Legitimate business; or at
templs of deuagogues 10 array one class o
citizens against another, will meet with no favo
from Us. H.# ..
Education is Justly regarded as one of tn
most essential aud eff .ctive means OF elevatin
aud refining u community, aud we intend glvin
an occasional repasl in tins direction. The ou
tsrprise aud improvement Of our public schools
which educate aud train tho greater portion o
our youth, cannot receive too great attention au
encouragement; aud as much as has bsen don
and said the cause will lose none ofits inaaenc
by discussion. .t
Farming interests win receive due share a
attention Our editorials and selections on thi
topic will be as freqlent aud regul4ras the limit
ted space of our columns will permit Th
manufacturing isterests of our community vii
also receive much attention. aud, whsteyer "
can do BY just praise Of legitimate business
or by the republication OF valuable mechanics
information, will be cheerfuNy doue.
We perfectly agree with a neighootiug CO
