DELIEVING that the wealth and po-
I'D pulation of Carroll, and the increas4
ed and growing Importance of Carrollton,
imperiously demand a newspaper as an ac-
ceptable vehicle of information, the un-
dersigned proposes to the good people of
Carroll county, to publish one under the
above title, which shall meet their wants
Being opposed to the principles upon which
the present Chief Magistrat. came into
power, and believing that his motto, "To
the pictors belong the Spoils of the pan
quished," is demoralizing and revolutiona-
ry-and that an elevation to that high sta
ton neither consecrates nor puriies prin-
ciplcs, the Intelligencer will firmly oppose
the present administration so long as it
receives its impression from the stamp of
Modern Democracy, while at the same
time it will exert its influence in prostrat-
ing the corrupt system of politics now prey
ing upon the vitals ofour young Republic.
The political principles of the Intelligen-
Ger shall be strictly those of JEFFERSON,
as set forth in the Virginia and Kentucky
Resolutions Of '98 and '99, and Madison's
celebrated Report. These shall be the
basis of our political creed. Believing that
the principle set forth by that apostle Of
Liberty, Thomas jefferson, viz:-"Thdt
all powers not expressly delegated to the
general government By the constitution, are
reserped to the states respectively, or to the
people," is the true one on which our Go
vernment is founded, and an adage univer.
sally received--and believing that the
rights, remedies, and liberties of the States,
without the means of preserving them,are
mere phantoms, the Intelligencer will al
ways be found ON the side of enlightened
Republicanism, battling against the en-
croachments of Power, and the fearless
and uncompromising opposer of every in
fringement on the liberties of the States.
The rights, remedies, and Union of the
States shall be our beacon light to guide
us in the dark hour of political tempest


Every effort to bring into disrepute the
hallowed principles of Jefferson-every at
tempt at dissolution of the Union, will
be firmly resisted


Having thus explicitly stated the politi-
cal principles which will guide and control
the Intelligencer, the undersigned will
further assure its patrons that its columns
will not be entirely devoted to politics, but
every effort will be made to render it a
useful and interesting family newspaper.
