sideratons whatever Its editor viii advocate what he
believes to be right. and win oppose. with all the
sources at his command everything which seems to him
to be antaRonstic to the welfare Of the people, He will
be unsparing in his treatment of the political corruption
which exists at present in the city of Baltimore and
State of Maryland, and he hopes that The TIMES may
become effective instrument for the deiverance of
the public from the thraldom Of the political ring
which at this moment controls the legislation and d-
vides the offices Of the Commonwealth. He believes
that there is great work THE TIMES to do in the
community for which it is published, and he will be
governed in its conduct by nothing but the purest
motives. He desires to manufactures established
solid basis in Maryland the commerce Of the port
Of Baltimore once whitening the seas; odious
inspection laws absolutely repealed the creation of ire
deemable ground-rents forever prohibited; an honest
registration law enacted the law of disrant repealed

rupt political combinations; the great cotton interests
the South conferred at Baltimore; path Of Western
trade once trodden by our merchants as in the

The time has come in the opinion Of its editor when
great Southern newspaper is needed by the South
That magnificent country which lies at door is de-
veloping with rapidity that none appreciate save
those who have traversed it's fertile territory The old
political issues that Kept in constant state of erment
no longer vex it. The past has been forgotten it is
to the future that the brains, the enterprise
and the manhood Of the South are looking
and nothing will contribute mueh to the advancement
Of the substantial prosperity OF that section the eeva-
ton Of labor the spread Of eucaon and the reforma
Hon OF political evils newspaper which shall fairly
represent and forth the interests Of the Southern
people. But THE TIMES viii not be in any
tona paper. The proximity Of the capital and the
perience Of its large staff Of wasngon correspondents
will enable it to report with great detail and absolute
accuracy the course of tiona legislation the policy OF
the administration. and the attitude Of public to-
ward public measures It's reaAexs may rely upon the
correctness of the information which publishes
