It wartestabllshed by-a good and true man, just about the Aime of -the adoption of our Federal Constitution, and need what influence it had in fever of that sacred instromtnt. It has never, we believe, in the course of ite history, been con sidered a time-server, btu has Mood up for whet it believed to be correct principles, through evil u well aa through good report,,, its editors, in days that are paSt, anchored themselves upon the great principles which lie nt the bottom of Jaws and of Constitutions, and there held fast, in spite of the storms of (giallo:o. Coeval with the Constitution, it has brood 11, the principles of that charter of our rights and defended theirce,, liberal and just institutions that have grown up around it. We make three allusions to its past Of its present we do not feel that it would be- , come no to say more than that we have striven to make the Garerre the medium of what we be lieve to be sound, fan and wholesome political doctrines. At the same lime, it has been our heart's de sire to give it a high moral tone; to exclude front its columns whatever might bring II blotch to the cheek of innocence. to roe!, Its licitv and WEEKLY issue,; Weieettle eiterttt at the Ore .-side; to present in the public eye whaiever beem ed to us best calcalnied to stimulate to noble Co• cleaver; to make it a chronicler or the 1110Veetehle in the great world; to preserve it, as far wv in us lay, a defeader and conservator of It the just As a local paper its mission need ocaraidy explained. Our own great enterprises or in dustry have ever found in tote paper an ardent advocate. flow earnestly have we contended for such a policy in . ear national couxeill as should secure justice to the laborers in ihiq great hive of lath:tat:ly ! flow long have we labored, and often when labor seemed hopsk,s, for a tariff that should httord protection jo.tand adequate, to the products of this great Co failllOD wealth and this city : ktur patrons can answer these questions, and we feel sure we need press the inquiries no further, as suggeeti, we have striven honestly to effect city and Stott. The future is before us. tin,- of al c, t i o wc ,„ taken, we believe. The great and distinctive principles of the Republidin party—Frten asu WELL HERAIWZD LABOR, FREE SPEECR AND FREE SOIL, we shall continue to advocate as long as we have power to advocate anything. We are about mitering upon one of the greatest of po litical contests. The campaign of 1, 4 40 is be fore us; the contending armies are now taking their places Cur the battle; their banners are al ready advancing; we wise to have oar chore in that good tight, which we inlet will result in oh prostration of the hordes of slavery and op Pression, and open the way for peace, justice , harmony and a new "era of good feeling' throughout our great republic. To this cud, and that cur influenee clay be in creased and our power for good twee trust) en larged, we take this occasion, at the commence meat of a new volume, and near the incoming of the new year, to present" - to the friends and petit:ins of the Clazirrre, to the friends had pro moters of the great principles we advocate, our paper as worthy, we hope, of their continued patronage and support. We wish in the coming year that it may go into every village and ham of this county. Ws ask those who have here tofore done so much to promote and sustain its deadfall:s, that they will continue their good work, and enable us to proclaim and eztend the principles of Republicanism throughout this re gion of country. And to oil who may read this and who desire to see those ideas prevail which they know will be advocated here, we nay, is the time to lend a Aelpinj ,r; .fidd of our June Thankful for all the pool, for the noble support we hare always roe, iced, we pot forth this confident appeal for the fat G.n. Cameron'. Popularity. We can assure our respected eotemport.ries of the Wheeling /meth:fearer that they need he tin der no apprehensions that the friends of Geo. Cameron wilt resorl to any undue mcibeiP of manufacturing political capital for (heir favorite. Gen.

A Prolet- Gee Tariff can never cease to be of the highest importance to this State. Her vast mineral and manufacturing resources call loudly for ibe fol. ~, tering care of wise and judicious legislation, eta I_ Gen. Cameron has invariably been found the eloquent advocate of just such messrea of na tional policy and legislation as were catmtleit lilted to baild up, cherish and inde oitely ad }. trance her highest and moot enduring prosperity.

His public life shoes a rec ord of which he may himself be proud, while its prominent acts have not failed to attract the nt teution pad call forth the admiration of the peo ple of this and other States, whose policy is idea neg.! with ours.' The insinuation that Gen. Cameron has "Wav ers and etrikeln"_has stipendiary fuglomon —trumpeting his praise abroad over the West- ern States, is univarranted, We feel fully per anaded. That he may ham enthusiastic shun_ cotes in most, if not all, of the Western Stance, ' we can well believe, arid that they are not (dew in giving utterance to their partiality is alto gether probable ; but that the zeal of such per eons-is stimulated, or their services paid for by Gen. Cameron or ,his friends, we do not for a moment believe. In Pennsylvania no sea in otrumentalities are required. Ilia personal pop ularity is second to that of no public man in the State, and the value of his pubtio acts and his unselfish devotion to the universally remognized interests of Pennsylvania, in conceded by all.
