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

for their object tbe concentration in the hands
of one man, and that man the President of the
1 Nation, all power over the public moneys, a
power, which, when combined with that vest
ed in him by the Constitution as Commander-' Abraham B. 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. Due care will he taken to furnish its
