The undersigned proposes, as a future occupation, to publish, semi-monthly, a cheap newspaper, to be called KENDALL'S EXPOSITOR Should the Administration bo sustained in the present conflict, as his faith in the people persuades him to believe, there is still much to be done to secure the advancement and perpetuity of pure principles in our Government; and if per chance it shall bo defeated, tlicro will be more occasion for all honest efforts to prevent the mischiefs apprehended from the men who may come into power. To these objects tho undersigned has determined to devote tho remnant of his life; and be can think of no means through which he can act so efficiently, as a newspaper cheap enough to bo within the reach of every man who is able to read, liaised to labor on a farm, he has never ceased to cherish tho intcrisla ofthoeo who work for a living; and, knowing them to bo the most virtuous mid deserving portion of society, one of the most cherished desires of his heart is to see them aroused to the importance of giving mureof their rending, their thoughts, and their time, to the affairs ol Government. Vet, not to them exclusively, but also to all other men, who do not seel: to obtain, through tho laws, advantages over their fellow men, he will address himself in the proposed publication. The main objects noticed in this paper will be as follows, viz; > 1. Suffrage is the basis of free government. He that cheats at elections is guilty of the worst kind of treason, and should be punished as a traitor. He who gives utterance to a falsehood, for the purpose of influencing a voter, is but little bettor. To denounce cheating, bribery, and falsehood, when detected, and suggest effective preventives, will be a lending object of tho proposed paper. Inthis the undersigned does not intend to bo any respecter of parties; for the man who resorts to such means for the accomplishment of political ends, whatever tic may call himself, is no Democrat, and is an enemy to the people. 3. Abuses of privilege and corruption have made much, progress in tho legislative department of our Governmenl, and have occasionally shown themselves in othcrdeparlments. These, as far as known, will be denounced, by whatever party they may be practised. In every abuse of privilege, or undue exercise of power, the individual committing it strikes allow at public virtue, the only lasting basis of free institutions. 9. The principles of modern banking, and the manner in which banks and public debts operate upon the labor, trade, and property of tho community, are not well understood. Ono of the chief objects of this paper will be, by facts and illustrations, to make these matters plain to alt who will read and di-'cuts the proposed remedies for existing evils. This will involve an exposition of the nature and uses of money, together with a history of the origin, progress, and effects of paper money in Europe and America. . To these will be* added, a notice of all new discoveries and inventions which promise to be useful to mankind, as also of facts, experiments, and improvements which may be instructive to the farmer and mechanic; a summary of news, foreign and domestic, carefully complied; constituting an accurate history of passing events; abstracts of imporUntpnblic documents, and miscellaneous matter, selected and original, instructive and entertaining. In ftne, the object is to furnish a newspaper which will present to the farmer, planter, mechanic, merchant, and all other readers, the true interests of those who live by the cultivation of the soil and other laborious occupations involving tho interests of all useful trade, and incite them always to regard those interests, in voting for publiaageius, to inculcate that honesty and truth should be the guide Of every man in public as well as private life; that a sacred regard for the righta of property, as well as personal tights, is essential to tho happiness of man In a stale of society; that it is only through a fair ballot that we should look fur the correction of existing evils, and the prevention of those wo fear; and that a true Democrat should never think of revolution by force until he finds himself deprived of tho right of suffrage, or tho voice of the majority is pcrscveringly stifled by fraud or force at the polls. Though thoroughly Democratic in principle, this paper will not be mado tho vehicle of ordinary electioneering matter, nor will it engage in or admit mere personal controversies. It,wit) not conceal its preferences for men or parties; but will seek to Influence results only by appeals to reason, and through the instrumentality of fact and argument. That a true Democrat ought never to despair, is the first article in the undersigned’s political creed. Man is capable of indefinite improvement in knowledge and virtue. These are the bases of. Democracy, If we know that he cannot reach perfection, know also that ho may become better than he is. Hope and faith are the motives of the Christian teacher. They should be the stay and stimulus of the Democrat. With him they are strengthened by knowledge; for he secs and.Amoui that man is advancing; and may bo made to advance more rapidly, in all those acquirements which enable him to govern himself. If arrested by force or fraud to-day, he will resume tils onward march tomurrow. By degrees, the great mass of men are becoming amiliar with their rights and conscious of their power; they may become so well informed that none will attempt to deceive them, and so determined, that none will dare to assail them by force. To aid in the improvement of man Is the'highest remaining ambition of the undersigned. Ho has seen much of the world, has had some experience in public affairs, has witnessed much hitman depravity, suffered some wrong, and met with much to discourage exertions for the good of his country and his race; but never for a moment has he lost his faith in man’s high destiny, or relaxed bis determination to contribute to'bis advancement under all discouragements. If ho shall reap no persons! advantage from thispourec, bpyond a consciousness of' doing his duty, bis

But when the constant lover woos, Endow’d with manly sense, Then listen to hia tender vows, With trifling forms dispense, He’ll scorn to flatter or deceive, If worthy, ne’er doubt it; Your hand to such then freely gtre, Nott THINK TOO LONG ABOUT IT.

A Dutch Sermon.

The following admirable production delivered before a company ot volunteer soldiers, during our revolutionary struggle, upon the eve of their going'forth to glorious war,’ was calculated to inspire them with Herculean strength and courage: Mine friends, ven first you come here, you was poor, and now friends you is prom; and yoiis gotten on your unicorns and dem Hits you like a dong’s upon a hog's pack; now my friends let mo delt you dis, a roan is a man if he is no bigger as my dumb, Ven Tavid vent out to fightmitGoliah he dook nothing vid him but one sling; now don’t mistake me, mine friends; it was not a rum sling, no, nor a brandy sling, | no it was a sting made vid hickory stick. Now ven Goliah seen Tavid coming, he says, ‘You little darapt scoundrel, docs you come to viglu mel I will give you lo the pirts of the fieldt and the beast of the air.' Tavid says, 'Goliah the race is not always with the schwiTc, nor ish the battle mit the strong; and a man is a man if he ii no bigger as my dumb,’ So Tavid fixes a Etone in his sling, and draws it at Goliah, and knocks him rite in tho forclieed, and den Tavid took Goliah’a swort, and cuts off his hcad—and den all the pretty galls comes out, and strewed flowers in his way, and sung‘Saul is a great man, vor he has kilt Goliah.’ Now, mine friends when you goes out to fight mit the tampt British, remember vat I tell you, dat a man is k man jf he is no bigger as my dumb, 1

How to Preserve Fruit.—We have been informed by s gentleman who has had practical proof of Its success, of a new mode of keeping fruit fresh for the table, as grapes, plums, fee. a long time after they hav^, been gathered. It is simply to alternate them in layers with cotton batting, In clean stone jars, and place them in a chamber secure from frost. The discovery was accidental. A servant maid in the family of Wm. Morey, ** Union Village, Washington county, about to visit her friends, secured a quantity of plains in this way, to preserve them till her return. They were found to have kept in au excellent condition, long after this fruit bad disappeared in the garden. From the hint thus afforded, Mr. Morey, Mr. Holmes and one or two neighbors laid down grapes in this manner last fall, and they enjoyed the luxury of fresh, fine flavored fruit (hrough the winter, until the early part of March.— Bud'* Cultivator, - -
