Xf/A
In’ sending out the first issue of
the American Union, we would not
have our readers think we feel com¬
petent to discuss the topics that
would legitimately fall within the
embrace of our Title. While an
ability to properly investigate the
principles upon which the Union of
the country of our Fathers was, and
should ever be based, does not range
within the sphere of our capacity,
yet we flatter ourselves, our readers
will, to some extent, excuse us when
we make known to them some of the
honest convictions of our mind, and
the original causes which gave im¬
pulse to our thoughts, and led us on
to confirmation in the long establish¬
ed opinion we entertain in regard to
the government of the United States;
the circumstances under which it
was established; the honest object of
its framers; the effect produced upon
the minds of the American people
I y its establishment: and the effect
a nd influence it has, by its egtabjish
nifflBEwSntinued existence, exer
ted'^pPthe nations of the world,
and the great work yet to be perfor¬
med in the minds of the teeming
millions of earth, while they look
upon her, beholding her perpetuated
existence; her increased greatness;
her potency among the powers of the
world: looking upon her accelerated
progress, upon her unparalleled pros¬
perity, makiug herself noted ip the
acquisition of every qualification that
tends to add to the national fame
and glory of her name.
I was born and reared in old Geor¬
gia, one of the original thirteen.
Was taught in early life to look upon
the United States government as
one of the “biggest” things in all
this country: was taught my first
allegiance was due that authority.
WaB early taught, that human sla¬
very was incompatible with the great
ends of human existence, human du¬
ty and human happiness: and that
where it existed, it was the result of
the violation of law on the part of the
slave or the owner, or perhaps both,
or their ancestors before them. I
was long since educated iu opposi¬
tion tothe doctrine ol what is termed
“state sovereignty:” yet I was taught
that after the establishment of the
Union, each and every state iu the
■ Union had guaranteed to them, every
light and privilege necessary to their
general and best interest: and that
no state was denied any right or
privilege, the exercise of which,
would have enhanced the interest of
the state in any way whatever, from
the least to the greatest degree.
When the states entered into the
general compact, forming a Union
as they did, each state was a compo¬
nent part of one great Tvhole, form¬
ing one body: whihh body was com¬
posed of different members, which
members were united upon princi¬
ples, which principles had for their
object the promotion of the greatest
good of the body and also the mem¬
bers of the body. Then to take care
of the members and develop their
strength, is to take care of the gen¬
eral health of the body, which, only
can be done by preserving and keep¬
ing pure and free from corruption
the grand principles upon which the
government of the United States and
the Union thereof were originally
founded. These principles may be
included in the meaning of two
words, taken in their broadest
sense— Intelligence and Virtue.
Let the people cf the United
states, be an intelligent people in the
strict sense of the term, and let
them also be a virtuous people in the
strict and broad sense of that term;
then all the powers of earth combin¬
ed cannot succeed in the work
our defeat or overthrpw. Aided by
intelligence, or the development of
the human mind, a -people becomes
able to see the beauties of good gov.
ernment; the grand theories of good
government; all the complicated and
well adapted machinery necessary
to be employed in the running of
good government: then aided by the
dignified character and promptings
of virtue, a people becomes able to
reduce to practice the philosophy
and theory of good government, and
successfully employ all the agencies
needful in the accomplishment of
the great ends seen by the framers
a*d lovers of good govern men t
which is the general prosperity and
happiness of the people. Possessing
this trait of character, enables a peo¬
ple to love all, and bate none; to do
good unto all, and evil unto none;
justice to all, and injustice to none.
In a country like ours, it influences
the people to know no North, no
South, no East, no West, but one
common country and such principles
as underlie good government and
have for their object the promotion
of tne general [good. The great ac
com ^Jishment of thejmJs, held in
view by the framers of our'govern
ment will be hastened, and consu
mated in proportion as the minds
of our people are properly develop
ed and they become intelligent: and
ako as the standard of virtue is
reared, and strictly maintained in
our minds. How many among our
people can be found, who are will
ing to know nothing in theory
[politically) but such doctrines and
principles as underlie good and
wholesome government;>ind to know nothing
practically, bnt such methods of policy ag
have lor their of j ec;,, the restoration of
the good uld Union of the fathers; the
burying of all sectional strife, animosity
and hatred, consigning these things to tlie
land of oblivion and forgetfulness; that
they may no longer be the things of the
present, but things of the past. • Also, as
have for their object the general develop¬
ment of all the natural resources of our
common country; and the most speedy ad¬
vancement ol every interest pertaining to
our entire people.
That our country ere it is long, may be
a country of peace—the land of the free,
the home of the good. And that our royal
bird, aided by his strong pinions, may not
only raise himself higher than the pinaele
of the fame and glory of all nations, kihg
doms and powers of earth: but may lie
spread far and wide his mighty wings, till
under the shadow ibereof, freedom pence
and protection, mav be sought and secur¬
ed hy the suffering and oppressed of every
lntd; Until the woi Id shall be loomed up
by the noon-day sunlight of the national
glory of our American Union.

ble type, was published in England in 1588
The object we have in view In /dwell¬
ing at such length, ohthe rise and fwogres
of the United States in the firs# issue
of this paper is, that the raeuic^jes of
our readers may be refreshed m re¬
gard to the labor done, and hardships
endured by the founders and builders of
our governuient, from its first iueifiienoy
to ils'ii :iai .ooii .Huiaiion. The eiieut flf
uie toil and il tfieully endured Ap the
achievement of any object, is m«ured
by the value and importance W the
object obtained. A
Acquiring an object of much &rth,
requires energy and much toil aiulper
severanee. Even so in regard to tlffe ta¬
king eare and keeping of objecs obtained.
It is not considered a difficult 'pat¬
ter to obtain a worthless and^H) tiring,
neither is it difficult to secure
a tiling of little worth. But the diffl<HHL
in seeureing and keeping
when obtained, is measured tliingH iiy^J
worth and importance of the
taiued. We see nothing can be of pjfpie gjfl
er value and importance to the
of the United States, than the govern¬
ment and union of the country of Khe
fathers. This accounts for tlie vast 'toil
and pains endured in its acheiveindnt;
and shows at once, the necessity of 'Jig
fiance, toil and perseverance in the per¬
petuation of its existanee.
We flatter our selves that our reusers I
will the first excuse News-paper us when we tell them thj^ is
we, or our opperajors
ever worked oulj all inexperienced, ind
the coldest day that has been this yenr.
All the boys complain uffeeling badly/"liv¬
ing sick on “pi.” You may expect gone
thing better mechanically, when we ,get
straightened out, and beco .<e better im¬ M
paired for the business.
We trust that some of the many t who
are sffering from colds, coughs &c, wV'J* a t
once apply to Dr- W- II. ArmstrcVs^
Phila, Pa. and test his highly recomenad
medicine for same. Sie hie -ad’ on third j,p

The Emperor Louis Napoleou smoked
only the finest cigars the world could pro¬
duce. Prof. Horsford says the Emperor a
cigars were made specially for him in Ha
vanr from leaf tobacco grown in the Goluen
Belt of North Carolina, this being the finest
leaf grown. Blackwell’s Bull Durham
Smoking Tobacco is made from the same
leaf used in the Emperor’s cigars, is ibno
lutely pure and is unquestionably the beet
tobacco ever offered.
Thackeray’s gifted daughter, Anne, in
her sketch of Alfred Tennyson, in Harper ’*
Monthly, tells of her visit to the groat poet.
She found him smoking Blackwell’s Bull
Durham Tobacco, feent him by Hon. James
Itusfeil Lowell, American Minister to tho
Court of 8t. Jumcs.
In these days of adulteration, it is a com¬
fort to smokers to know that the Bull Dur¬
ham brand is absolutely pure, and made
from the best tobacco the world produces.
Blackwell’s Bull Durham Smoking To¬
bacco is the best and purest made. All
dealers have it. None mnuino without
the trade-mark of the Bull.
