TEEM AGITATOR.,-BETEtOS.PECT,I.V.EI The year 1864 constitutes the era of a great moral revolution. It will go down in history as a time of a great awaken ing of the consciences of the Ameilcan people ; during which, the fact that the deity of a citizen is a strictly moral and religious duty, dawned • upon popular comprehension. It was, preeminently, " a time de I manding new measures and new men." - • •• --;.-,=x-rcarci:: - . 11.7. - .. - ::._-_-.. - --- leeaeon, equal partner with conscien tious conviction. The dry details o political economy were borne to the rear of the mustering army of progress.— The old issues --Bank, Tariff,, Internal Improvement—dried up. In the early morning of this revolu-• tion-1854—THE AGITATOR was estab lished. Thu suggestion cane from DAVID WIL3IOT and JOHN S. MANN. sponsors were BAcHE and W. W. tic,DouGALL. The firm of Bailey & Cobb undertook the publication,' and the writer hereof was the editor. The material and goodwill of the WelMoro 4fivertiger, then published .by WM. D. ItAiLEY, were purchased for the sum of $B5O, and with this Tun AGITATOR Started. The type used was long prim ir and hreVier ; size of sheet, 24x34 ; eir '4sulation 850, half of it paying, perhaps. The regular advertising patronage was worth about $3OO a year, and the job- bing as much more. Dec. 31, 1854, Mr. Bailey retired from the firm, and Mr. DAVID STURROCK came in. . The price of the paper was reduced from $1,50 to $1 per annum, Cash down. This cut down the pireula tion to 350; but before the end of the year. 1855 was ended the circulation bad reached'9oo ; and by the middle of 1856 It had gone above 1000. At that time country papers with 1000 cash subscrib ers were not common . In fact, we sup- Ipose that no county paper in Northern Pennsylvania had so large a circulation. From this time to 1858 the circulation varied, once touching 1200, but averag ing 950 ; In 1857 Mr. Sturroek retired from the firm of Cobb, Sturrock Co., and the writer took, sole charge, retain ing it until Jan. 1, 1859, when" the ea tahliehment passed into the buds of .1113:011 YOUN6 at a small advanc upon the original cost in 1854. Mr. Young proeurell new type for the paper, so that it started out in its firth year with as handsome a face as tiny of its content. poikaries. Up ‘to'' this time root much attention had been given to the local department of the paper. Mr. Young at once made a change in that respect, and the local value of the pr was thereby greatly increased. Thereat war soon arrived, and the columns of the Auinvi.Toß gave to the public the experience of eyewit.: ness on the field and in, camp. In. fact the paper during that stormy time con stituted a graphic history of events. In January, 1863, the writer once more became possessed of the material Ahd goodwill of the estabishment, Mr. YOMig,retiring. But little addition had been inlkie to material and ilitures.— The paPer'*as printed on a Washing ton press, and die material for fine work was wanting. DlA:times were Paper was 30 and 35 i:orkts per pound, and other things in proptttion. When the year 1804 came in, the baiiinge sheet of the concerti showed a deficit be-over $400 2 --the expenditures having exceed. ed the income that much. But the circulation increased. - ,A.cylinder press was purchased, and - by July, 1864, the circulation went over 1600. Meantime the subscription went_ wassalied to $l.- 60 per year.

With this number then, and by mutual con sent of all parties, Mr. Cobb passes the pen (editorial) and his one-half interest in the AGITATOR to the undersigned; who, in assuming the entire control of the. establishment do not propose to wade through a long article of pledges and promises of the future coursa of the papek, but will simply say—that we intend to practice •what we preach— " Ihr t mid let live, PAY and be PAW." Ito poritle,al conduct will bOin the fu ture fist in the past—REPUBLICAN, pro found and unshaken. In successnr.de feat, it will adhere to those principles because we believe them to be right.— Xll " wire-pullers," " cliques," or "wolfish politicians" must take a back seat, while we pursue the even tenor of our way defending the right, , and opposing the wrong. In short, We shall spare - -no labor or , expense in making the AGITATOR acceptable to its readers, and shall, also aisadd such facilities' to the establishment' necessary to keep pace with our rapidly growing village.
