Brownlow's Knoxville Whig. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1866-1869, 1867-10-09
PROSPECTUS:
MARYvILLF REPUBLICAN.

We take pleasure in announcing to the citizens Of
Blount county and Of the country at large, that We
have made arrangements to commence the publ
cation of family newspaper in the town of Mary
vile, Tennessee, styled the MaryviHs Republican,
the fast issue of which viii appear about the mid
die of October, 1857
1t Is BUR determination to spare pains to make
the Republican, first class family journal We
have long seen and felt the propriety and want Of
such enterprise, something to arouse our people
from the dormant stupOr into which they were
thrown by the late fratrcida struggle, and awaken
them TO more energetic action in the different
pursuits of life, calculated to promote the interests
of our once happy and prosperous country. The
return Of peace found us comparatively destitute
people. The ravages of war have paralyzed almost
every branch of industry-left us without capital
with which to Develop vast resources, and pros
trated the energies of the laboring masses With
the great natural advantages possessed by East Ten
nessee, and especially of Bount county, we greatly
need the assistance and cooperation of an efficient
and reliable home journal. We know that we have
one of the most favored countries in the known
world in the way Of climate, soil and facilities for
manufacturing. We only want the capital and en-
terprise to make it the equal of any of the New
England States. This can be had only by the aid
of Northern and Eastern capitalists. We, there
FORE propose to advocate the interests of our coun
try in the industrial pursuits by herading abroad
its beauties and peculiar advantages in order to in
duee Northern emigration and Northern capital
and energy among us, to aid in developing its vast
resources Of wealth.
The Republican will be thoroughly Radical in
politics will sustain the reconstruction policy of
Congress- and support the loyal Legislature of the
State Of Tennessee. We shall adhere to the patri-
otto doctrine formerly inculcated by the great
American Tycoon, that treason should be made
odious and traitors punished"
Our Agricultural Department will be found each
week 10 contain matter of the utmost Importance to
farmers We need not try to disguise the fact that
decided Improvements can be made in the different
branches of husbandry, practiced throughout the
entire State of Tennessee, and to this end we shall
not be sparing in our labors. In each issue we
shall have contributions on this important subject
from the best farmers our country affords thus Civ
ing an exchange of views and experience in the va
riOus rural pursuits of life.
The services Of sore Of the ablest dvines in East
Tennessee have been secured, so that every week
the Republicans will be replete with the choicest re-
lgious matter.
In short, we propose to publish a paper for the
People-one that will advocate their interests and
our farmers and mechanics throughout the country
should not fell to subscribe at once so that they may
commence with the first issue. We intend to make
the Republican both interesting and instructive, and
we call upon and urge the people of East Tennessee
to sustain us in this lsuisble enterprise.
The Republican will be published weekly at the
following rates, invariably in advance
