kenOSha, Thursday, june 10, 1861,
A New Volume,

Our paper this week enters upon its tpeaty sec
Ond volume. For twenty one years the Telegraph
has made its weekly visit to the people of Keno
sha County. 1t has fairly reached its majority,
and whatever else may be said, it can no longer
be called minor. The Telegraph, like every
thing else, has had it's changes and vicissitudes,
its apps and downs. Its career has by no means.
been an uneventful one. Bat in all its changes,
it has always advocated the right-always been
on the side Of justice, humanity-on that truly
democratic ground " the greatest good to the
greatest number" 1t has never ceased to labor
for the growth the prosperity, the welfare and the
honor of our fair city, and fertile county But we
do not propose to write history Of the past. /
we have cast our eye backward, it has been only
to assure our readers that the past may DO taken
as an earnest Of the future.
We enter upon our 22nd volume hopeful and
confdent-conldent that we shall spare neither
labor nor pains TO furnish to our readers paper
worthy of their patronage, apd which they will
not be ashamed tc send to their friend in the older
and more pretentous portions of the country, and
hopeful that we shall meet with that success that
should ever attend earnest endeavor--that the PEG
plo Of Kenosha city and county will appreciate
and second our efforts.
1t ia unnecessary to say that the TELEGRAPH
will continue to advocate those principles of pub
tic policy, so ably and tersely laid down in the
| Chicago Platform, a little over year ago. We
shall support the present administration so long
as it continues to carry out those principles and
measures which we believe to be essential to the
preservation of this glorious Union, and to its pro-
/ gress upward and onward. We believe the I'm
ion must be preserved in its integrity if the PEG
pie moan to preserve that boon of liberty, and
those inestimabe privileges Of ireemen, bequeath-
ed to them by the Fathers of the Republic. When
ACKNOWLEDGMENT is once commenced and disnte
grafton begun, who shall tell where it will end
Every State may form petty kinndom or princi
pality, and even the States themselves may be
| divided and sub-divided as the wnm passion
of any disappointed officeseeker may dictate.
Believing, as we do, that the recognition and
scquiescence in the fatal principles of peaceable
secession must inevitably lead to the results we
have alluded to, we cannot do otherwise than make
the condemnation of that wicked political heresy
prominent object, in our editorial columns while
it is thrust upon with such perncious pertinacty,
oy the entire South. with few Northern sympa
thizers.
We shall continue to make the TELEGRAPH
what many of our friends have fatteringly styled
1.-THE model family Newspaper, OF course, we
cannot give as much reading as the mammoth pa.
pers of the lurge cities; STILL by judicious selec
lions and by strict attendance to all homo news
ofinterest, we may make paper as interesting
aud far more Useful to the people Of Kenosha city
and county, than the mammoth weeklies of the
east. We shall continue to make such improve
ments in our paper Us receipts will warrant
1t costs more money to get out, even such pa
per as ours, than people generally imagine. We
hope our friends will bear this in mind when they
feel like finding fault about the price ofour paper
1t is actually down to the lowest pay ing point with
our present circulation
We have to offer our thanks for the liberal ap-
probation with which our labors have been met
We are now giving weekly more reading matter
than has ever before been offered by any of the
papers of this city, and we are confident that no
greater effort has ever been made in Kenosha to
mako paper worthy OF the patronage OF all than
we making now. And we have the satisfaction
Of knowing that our labors are appreciated, in the
constant addition that is being made to our sub
scrption list. Without any special effort on our
part we have added si.cty new names to our list
all good men and true within the last two weeks
We should be glad to,and we ought to send pa
per to every family in Kenosha county. We shall
make a strong effort to induce all to subscribe,
during the coming summer and fall.
tits hardly necessary to say to advertisers that
the TELEGRAPH is the most desirable medium fol
advertising in this county. With n circulation
at laest double that of both our contemporaries com
bined, it is evident that those who have anything
to advertise will consult their own interests by us
ing our columns in preference to any other paper
in the city.
