At the tame time that it thn# contributea wh.t
ever of influence it may po#*e#s to the sucesi of
E>emocratie men arid Democratic measure*, it
will identify it*elf with no faction in whatever
name of form it may appear. The column* of
The Frontierman will alway* be open to such
persons ns may desire to give publicity to particu
lar or fivorite locnlffie# » any part of the Terri
tory —but especially those found on the Upper
Mississippi—to farmers, who may wish to speak
to the public relative to the greet subject of Agri
culture—to all who have either leisure or inclina
tion to write upon subjects deemed of interest to
the general reader.
Tho Agricultural department of the paper—
always the most important in a country newspa
per-—will be under the special superintendence of
a practical and successful farmer.
Hailing from a point contigoous to the homes
of the Winnebago and Ojibway Indians, whose
history is replete with interest and incident, The
Frontierman will it is believed, be found to con
tain much concerning Indian life, belief, and
niauners, of more than ordinary interest to the
general reader ; persons tong resident in the In
dian country, a* missionaries, having already
been engaged as regular contributors.
