in all things rigidly adhering to its motto
"TRurB WIrHour. FsAR or FAVOR"
rendering efficient service ~ q local
mouthpisce and advocate of every measure
tending to promote the progress, growth,
and Development Of the county.
1t can afford to speak the truth, and
dares to speak the truth, whether Of per-
sonal friend or foe. 1t is always indie
pendent; always national in its ideas of
society and government adheres to the
spirit Of constitutional government; criti.

weak in obtaining their rights, md to defend
them against all unjust encroac hments;
never hesitates to denounce the strong be-
cause they are strong; seeking to enforce
its mission as above announced by every
honest appliance and mt any cost.
| We solicit from friends PERSONAL and
POLITICAL, aud FROM THE BUSINESS PUBLIC
continued interest in the Plain Dealer.
1t is now nearly ten years since the Plain
Dealer was commenced in this county with
its present proprietor, and in all that time
1t has been earnestly devoted to the Union;
to the equality Of the States; to the rights
and the liberties of the people, to the
maintenance Of Law and Order and the
Din usion Of Knowledge, and to whatever
will secure the greatest good TO- the great
est number Of the people. -ri
We also believe in. and adhere to what
IL TRIED AND asop, rather than What is
vascillating and revolutionary.
To that .,nr<in,, ncthn ,,ao,,In rrl.n knlSn~~
in = stable government; in good men and
good laws in I'm economical admin stra.ion;
in equal and exact justice; we appeal for
that measure Of public favor which is
due to the principles we avow
Regarding every mans belief upon all
questions OF political faith or religious be-
lief us the result Of honest convictions we
discard the word FEDERATION, and adopt
in its stead liberty Of political faith and
religious opinion. -
federation. assumes to itself the power
Of granting while intolerance assumes the
power Of Withholding liberty of conscience.
Both are despotisms. One assumes t. gov
ern with fire and fagot, the other assumes
the power Of selling indulgenccs. Our prov
incc is to regulate mans belief by address,
ing his judgment; allowing that to oh ,nge
his convictions; and until the object sought
is attained I'VE are as ready to maintain
his right in his belief as we are to assert
our own. Nor do We believe that PRO-
FEssloN is always EVIDENCE OF BELIEF.
Profession is for the world; belief for the
individual, hence the variance between
precept and exAmple. $3.50.
We shall endeavor to make the Plain |
Dealer more and more perfect in NIL its
departments; LOCAL PAPER for Iowa; a
Home Journal for the family; a political
paper for the palitician; financial and
business paper for the man Of business.
With this brief statement of its charac-
ter, aims, and objects we submit it's terms
