St. Cloud Visiter [Sic]

land, walk on it; but we will be once in making personal observations not mislead our readers by false or exaggerated reports.

On all moral and political questions Visiter will aim to deal fairly by those who differ with it; but the editorial department will never represent anything but the convictions of the editor. Consequently its creed will be:

1st. The Divine law is the Supreme in all lands created by its author.

2d. All men are created equal in the right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

3d. The Bible, and the Constitution United States are anti slavery: and chattledom is unconstitutional in any association professing to receive either fundamental law.

4th. Paying taxes is as much voting; and is a privilege which is exclusively confined to "white citizens, of this and other countries.

5th. Slavery, Intemperance, vice, Ignorance, lustfulness, Land Monopolies and Large Cities are the greatest evils which curse the Earth, with miseries more wonderful "wonders" of the world; abolished before the reign of peace on earth and good will to men established.

6th. St. Cloud, in despite of all done to prevent, will at no distant day be a large city; and it is our duty to do what we can in laying the foundations as much of the good, and building fences against as much as possible evil attending these hordes of growing vanity.

7th. Our motto is the true philosophy of life. Be sure you have truth to liberty and right. your rabble bondage; and the flesh-pots on ad Look straight forward to the better to the greatest amount of good acco on the journey. forward! What! into the hell, of danger and apparent evil If the path of duty lies through rough waters, "go forward!" our right. Harm shall divide the way and Amen.

As to the business part of the Visiter We have very little type of the best kind, not much paper and no more than Agur might desire with safety. We are rather hot distant from type foundry or iron works with the river frozen and the steamboats miles wagon-or sleigh-trans. between us and a railroad Our iron is shorter than the royal army, -and a large proportion must eat potatoes and corn meal for want of flour we intend to publish the Visiter if possible, but if not, then and can, charging subscribers only for number sent them We have no fear but that the Visiter will be in new dress in the spring. make entrance in respectable society, grow in power on Earth. and publish gospel of all now engaged in sending this mission.

The subscribers of the old paper who have paid in advance will receive the Visiter until the time of their subscription expires, when it will be stopped unless the subscription is renewed in compliance with our rules.
