selected and legibly printed in its pages.
1t is a first-rate agricultural paper. The most
fresh and instructive articles on agricultural
topics regularly appear in this department.
It is an independent political paper, belonging
to no party and wearing no collar. 1t fights for
principle, and for the election of the best men
to office. 1t especially devotes its energies to
the exposure of the great corruptions that now
weaken and disgrace our country, and threaten
to undermine Republican institutions altogether
