of these United Counties, but, also, with a
Targe circle of the thinking men of the

wanting, we titian, at least, endeavor to
adhere strictly to the same principles, and
shall, as far as ie our power, pursue the
same straight -forward course, and maintain
the same fearless earnestness and sincerity,
which has characterised the Signal since
its first iseue. Ia short, we shall study to
tithe the Signal useful, and by adhering
to a thoroughly liberal policy, we hope for
a continuance of that liberal support so
generally bestowed upon it during the past
four years. Tbe present population and
intelligence of these United Counties
arequite sufficient to warrant us io expect-
ing support for a Newspaper, and as the
spirit and tendencies of the age are pro-
grevsive, we may reasonably oppose that
public opinion wilrbe in favor of a journal
endeavoring to keep pace with tbe pro-
gress of society. It is useless to conceal
or overlook the fact that party political
feeing is at present one of the most pro -
missal %attires of Canadian society, and
in Huron that feeling prevails with unusual
btleiaem.' And while we would sincerely
regret that any effort of ours should tend to
laerease or keep alive, that unholy ran-
eour, we, at the same lime, have no wish
to deny cur attachment to party. - The
