Always laboring zealously to advance the interests of the people among whom we live, it will be our constant aim to make the JOURNAL ami (iAZEWU the cijual of any weekly newspaper published in South Carolina, and to render it a welcome visitor wherever it goes; and, to that end, we cor iliaily invite the co-ojierstiou of the public. We deem it bal dly necessary to define our position politically. What our course will he in the future, may be inferred from our conduct in the past. In our judgment, tue complete ivuempuon en our Siaic, ami the restorati u of the general government to the limits of the constitution can he effected only by and through the ageucy of the Democratic party ; and, until that party shall have given way to corruption, or otherwise betrayed its trusts, we will be found withiu its ranks. We are not unacquainted with the tjials and responsibilities which journalism imposes upon its votaries; and, in our new enterprise, all that we ask of our friends is a gentle push from shore, and their best wishes for a safe and prosperous voyage.
