Introductory.

In assuming control of the COURIER it is
perhaps proper to make some brief aluson
to the course which We propose pursuing
We are aware, by past experience, that
our path will not always be smooth that
it will be impossible to please everybody !;
that our motives and intentions will often be
misrepresented and misunderstood but not
withstanding these facts, we shall steadily
persue the course which we conceive to be
right and proper, and shall appeal to the
good sense of the community in which we
reside for endorsement and Vindieaton.
1t is our desire and intention to make the
sheet as near reflex and mirror of the local
affairs of the county as possible, and all mat
ters and movements calculated to develop
local resources and promote home interests
will receive our hearty assistance and en-
enlargement
Politically the paper will continue in har-
mony with the party that safely carried the
! country through the sangunary war of the
Rebellion, and will adhere to the cherished
doctrine of the Fathers of the Government.
who religiously believed in the upbuilding, on
American SOIL of grand Republic based
on the Union of all the States, which would
ultimately outrival the Republics and Em-
pires of History in permaneney, wealth and
power, and far outstrip them in its devotion
tojust Laws, pure Morals, and the inalienable
Rights of Man.
80 far as our political opponents are CON
cerned, we have no quarrel to make against
them personally, and are only opposed to the
dogmas which their leaders have sacriliegous.
ly labeled :" Democratic principles" and set
up for them to worship. As we are all citi
zens of one Republic, and mutually interested
and affected by the governmental policy which
controls the affairs of the nation it is GER
tainly not only to our interest, but it is our
duty to reason together with an earnest de-
sire to discover the right political path which
we should tread in order to promote our well
fare as people, and uphold the honor and
glory OF our common country. If, therefore,
we can present facts and arguments which
convince any of our opponents that we are
nearer right than they, then we shall expect
them as honest men, who love right better
than wrong, to acknowledge their past error
by casting their ballot in behalf of our party.

Liberty Tree.

lThe following gem of beauty and patriotism was written by Thomas Paine.l In chariot of light, from the regions of day, The Goddess of Iihertv came Ten thousand celestials directed her way, And hither conducted the dame. falr budding branch from the gardens above, Where millions with millions agree, She brought in her hand pledge of her love, And the plant she named Liberty Tree. The celestial exotic struck deep in the ground Like native 1t fourished and bore; The tame of it's fruit drew the nations around, To seek out this peaceable shore. Unmindful of names or distinctions they came, For freemen like brothers agree; With one spirit endued they one friendship pur.
 sued
 And their Temple was Liberty Tree. Beneath this fair tree like the patriarchs of old Their bread in eontentment they ate, Unyexed with the troubles of silver or gold, The cares of the grand and the great. With timber and tar they Old England supplied, And supported her power on the sea; Her battles they fought without getting groat For the honor of Liberty Tree. But hear, O ye swalns ('tis tale most profane), How all the tyrannical powers King, commons and lords--are uniting amain, To cut down this guardian of ours. From the cast to the west blow the trumpet ts
 arms.
 Thro' the land let the sound of it flee Let the far and the near all unite with a cheer, In defence of our Liberty Tree.

THE MINER.

Into the ground he plunges his pick, And we'll he knows the artful trick Of fsliding the prong between the rocks To tear them away in pOnderous blocks. Among the rocks his clear voice rings, As over his work he mcrrily sings: "What care for wealth or power, When the giant rocks before me cover, And quiyer and quake in dread alarm At the powerful blows from my stalwsr; srn :' Deeper and deeper down he goes, As erambles the rock before uis blows, For little needs he the darkness and cold, As he dolvcs away for the precious gold. The sun on the earth it's bright rays sheds, And Nature her glorious beauties outspreads, Yet down In the ground he burrows away, While the trembling rOck-clvcs cease their play, And gaze with surprise at the mortal bold Dely!Bg away for the precious gold. And Hope alone, with it's feeble ray, Cheering him up from day to day, Whispers again the tale oft told, "Tomorrow may bring the precious gold" The months and years roll slowly along, And still he labors steady and strong, With pick and gaf, hammer and drill. Making the iron-veined mountain thrill All alone save that voice of old,
 Whispering still of the precious gold. In his lonely cabin, At dead of night. He dreams Of that fairy form SO bright, In the church-yard lying, still and cold. By his lust for finding the precious gold. With steady strokes and iron nerves He never once from his labor swerves, I'll some giant rock upon him falls, Or crumbling earth from mouldy walls Entombs him living in It's grave-like fold, And ends forever his search for gold.
