In introducing to our aur vealere the first num- ber of the 4 Ontario Observéry" we think it recessary 10 stale THE CAUSE OF IT BEING Fs- TABLISHED, THE MEANS OF 17% SUPRORT, THE OBJECTS TO WHICH IT WILL 'BE DEVOTED, and THE MODE IN WHICH IT WILL' BE CONDUCTED. As the increasing imporiance of the 'Coungy + of Outario. and the rapid progres¢ of Prince Albert, Borelia, Port Perry, and the sirround- ing country has become developed, the want of a first-class journal, devoted to the. interests of this neighbourhood, has long been felt. To supply this desideratum, the Ontario Observer is established, whereby the claims of a large and influential district will be fully and fairly represented and advocated. In propoition as the business of of the County of Ontario bas been extended, the necessity for an organ specially set apart to supply the trading requirements of the public hus arudi- ally arisen, Ij is, therefore, ut the fequest of many of the gentry, inerchants, tradesmen, and others, that we venture upon this' under- raking, for the purpese. of opening a 'medium in which to publish the business and other public announcements connected with this district. An extensive subsctiption list has already been obtained in the district we now Rave the honour to represent. Politically, our standard will be that of Re- <form; all measures relating to social progress, and real, substantial Reform, will receive our cordial and warmest suppoyg. With a General Faction close at hand, and amidst the existing ised position of political affairs, we re- rain, at present, from declaring our adherence ' | shall, from time to time, saws rapid and are mere conventicles up- held for Purposes, in place of carrying out the grand and fundamental principles of vational education. The subject of Educa- tion 'is one 'of such vital 'importance, that we publish anjiles pon On the subject of Religion se deste to ay |*™ but little in this notice, believing that while it is the province of the press to elevate the mo- tals and refine the taste of the unity at large, it is the duty of the priest to build upon the moral foundation thus laid, by scriptural teaching and example.

Mr. Gowan comes amongst us a Government agent, having neither stick nor stake in the county, holding the « flatéring unction to his soul" that the electors of North Ontario are content 10 be caught in the trap so wirily laid for them. °° ? That Ms. Gomi apps in thie Vablisasuits of disguisé, is plainly apparent from the fact that he forced himself upon the electors with- | in {ut being solicited, and even befyre There was a certainty of an election taking place. How came it to pass that Mr. Gowan was enabled to go throigh the county, and put certain indi- viduals in possession of the fact that an elec- tion would fake place before thé | present month has expii ds; and himself fo conymence a per- sonal canvass before apy * official declaration had emangjed from the' Government announc- ing a dissolution of Parliament? How came | he in possession of this secret, otherwise than | from the fact of his being a paid emissary from the Government to support them in their prac- {lice of empiricism? Tt is patent to all that the | Government intended to take the country by surprise when in an in unprepared state, and; by to stimulate its advancement by di our columns the results arising from sc, entific | research and practical appliances, Experience has tapght us that a journal, to le successful, she Ald not be' conducted nia | Higzardty "oF parsfinonious' Spirit.

Local interests will espécially clit our strictest attention, and Al éventsthahsfiring i in the district of North Otarib will be found in| ouPcohininis.

We court to any section or coalition who may the future Government ; suffice it to say, that we are opposed to the present Government, and shall ever discountenance abuses, from whatever source they may emanate. Acting £ upon conscientious and independent principle, we consider that the actions of those who hold high publie positions are open lo fai and jm- partial 'eriticism, and; as such, ard 'amenable to the equitable law of censure, should the trust reposed in them be betrayed. The ini- ice of squandering the public nioney if ta institute Government pairojrage-- which means, to enrich office-bedrers at the "expense of the country--vwll ize waiched 'with keen and scrutinising cbiervation; and, when discovered, dealt with socordinig to its deserts.

To the advancement of the interests of our country, whether commercially or politically, we shall direct our efforts. With the prospect before us of Canada, at 'no distant period, be- coming a giant among' the! nations of the earth,' it behoves every Canadian, whether such by birth or by sett} to exert his influence in bringing about "a consummation 50 "devoutly to be wished."
