JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN. OF THE Jcliersonian Republican, A icw Weekly Paper, to be published at Strouds- g, Monroe (Jaunty, Jfa., ana mtijora, Pike County, Pa., simultaneously. PIKE COUNTY FINANCES. The whole art of Government consists in the art of being honest. Jefferson. THE JEFFERSONIAN; REPUBLICAN in principle, will bo all its title purports, the firm and unwavering advocate of the principles and doctrines of the democratic party, delineated by the illustrious JErFEiisoN : the right of the peo pie to think, to speak, and to act, independent- Iy, on ail subjects, noidmg tnemseives respon sible to no power for the free exercise of this right, -but their God, their Country, and her Laws, which they themselves have created. A free and untrammelcd Press, conducted in i spirit worthy of our institutions, is a public bles sing, a safeguard to the Constitution under which we Jive, and it should bo cherished and support ed by every true republican. Such, then, it is designed to make the paper now estab lished, and as such, the publisher calls iip thc enlightened citizens of Monroe and Pik to aid him in this laudable enterprise. The time has arrived when the Press should take a bold and faarless stand against the evidently increas ing moral and political degeneracy of the day, and endeavor, by a fair, candid, and honorable course, to Temove tnoso Darners wnion section al prejudices, parly spirit, and party animosity have reared to mar the social relations of men . without accomplishing any paramount good . THE JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN .-jvUl not seek to lead or follow any faction, or to advocate and support the schemes of any par ticular set of men. It will speak independent ly on all State and National questions, award? ing to each that support which its merits may demand, never hesitating, however, to condemn such measures, as in the opinion of the'editor is justly warranted, holding as a first principle : " The greatest good to the greatest number" Believing that the groat principles of democ racy are disregarded by the present Chief Ma gistrate of the Nation, Martin Van Buren, the JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN, will decidedly, but honorably oppose his re-election to the high and responsible station which he now holds. It will firmly oppose the " Independent Trea 999 80 15 14 Amount due M. W. Dirigrhan, over paiu oy aim, 10H 94 101 36 ; , , . TABLE OF THE RATES OF TOLLS OK THE DELAWARE AND HUDSON CANAL, FOR 1840.

Decker, m-Chief of the American forces, Military and Benjamin Drake, Naval, together with an enormous official pa tronage, would render him more powerful than the Executive of the British Nation, and in short make our Government, de facto an Elec tive Monarchy. It will ever maintain that the welfare of our Country and the preservation of her Republican Institutions should be the first and only senti ments of our hearts in the choice of our public servants; that honesty, fidelity, and capability, are the only true tests of merit ; that all men are created equal, and, therefore, should alike enjoy the privileges conferred on them by the Constitution without being subject to proscrip ion. or coerced by the influence of party. The columns of the JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN will ever be open to the free discussion of all political questions, believing as we do, that there is no liberty where both sides ma not be heard, and, where one portion of freemen are denied the privilege of declar ing their sentiments through the medium of the Press, because they differ from the majority. The JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN will ever take a lively interest in the affairs of Monroe and Pike, and of the Senatorial and Congressional Districts with which they are connected. The Farmer, the Merchant, the Mechanic, and the Laborer, will each find a friend in the columns of the JEFFERSONIAN REPUB LICAN.
