When a Newspaper changes hands or is started in a community, the people generally wish to know what its objects and aims areâ€"what principles or set of principles it intends to advocate, and o n . . l c . l - what Side in politics it, Will take. . This is natural enough laudable curiosity, but it would be better tosee this same curiosity the result of‘ real interest, and this real interest inaniâ€" fested in some practical way. The YORK HERALD is no stranger to the people of the County of York. to them. In times past it made its reâ€" gular weekly appearaneeâ€"punctually and without fail; and we mistake much, if It is well known it has not, since its suspension, been very much missed indee". It certainly does not speak ‘ery well for the enterprise and intelligence of so wealthy and advanced a community as this is admitted to be, to have no exponent of their views and feelings; no Journal to chronicle passâ€" ing events, and n3 org :1 to advance cer- tain measures, in which, it is universally admitted, all are interestedâ€"measures which are of the first importance to us but which from the want of an able and reliable paper, have been and are now compelled to remain in abcyancc. In common with many of the inhabitants of the, surrounding country, we.have long felt this, and at the suggestion and advice of a few friends, we have resolved to at- tempt to supply the want.

The distinction between being independent and neutral is marked. Independent in all thian 0’ 7 It will carefully eschew and avoid the narrow-minded and “ suicidal (as far as principle nd country are ceiicei'ned) policy of praising and up- holding everything which emanates from our party, however wrong in itself, or unworth’y of'support; and of denouncing ‘ and condemning everything that owes its authorship to the opposite party, however good in itself or beneficial to the best in- terests of the country, present and pro- spective. its advocacy, seek to conserve and protect those institutions, laws and privilcg's that are essential to the peoples’ happi- ness and prosperity, and to reform those abuses which are admitted to exist,â€" from the peculiar political circumstances of Canada during the past four years,â€" no party seeming to have the courage or the will, or the power to remedy or amcndlthein. Rampant demagoguism we will oppose. Judicious rcfin'ni will ever meet our ready approval and coâ€" operation. Expecting no favors fi'oiii those in power; getting none we will not be disappointed. Pursuing therefore a straighttbrward course in all that relates to politics and other matters of provincial ' communications upon matters of general . It is well to see this ' The Herald will therefore, by ' t discussed, and it is hoped, treated in the. Topics in connection therewith will be manner their intiinsic importance dc-I mands. A certain space will be allowed for! interest; but those containing personali- ties, (in the slightest degree) or relating to merely private affairs, will on no con-ii dition or consideration be admitted, It: is believed that a Country Journal Ican- t not be too particular in this respect, and that in this respect it is better to err on the right side than on the wrong. In a. word, it will be the aim of the proprietors to make The York IICI‘Clltl a thoroughly reliable family paper, one that will win and find for itself a. warm and‘ hearty welcome wherever it goesâ€"freightâ€" , ed with news, and the right kind of in- formation. “‘ Secesh.” “ To be or not to be ?” ah, that is the question! What, “ to be or not to be” or what is the question ? It is this 2. {shall the County of York secede from ;Toronto, and have a County Town of , its own or not. It is a rather important , I matter to the people of, York. It is one, ‘ ilIOWCVOI‘, that has in a quiet way been! occupying their minds for a considerable l tlength of time, and if we mistake not' the majority of the inhabitantsliavc‘ come to the conclusion that it would be better for the interests of the County to have it scpa‘atcd from Toronto. The ,northern part of the County have been long eager for this separation; but it may be their lively interest was based 1 on the hope that the County Town would lbc located in their part of the County. like a matter of course, the leaven has ibcen working, and all parts are now,1 . more or less, alive to the importance of i some active steps being taken in the pre-‘ < inises. hat it would be advantageous i to withdraw from Toronto, seems clear ,fi'om various considerations. It would ,bo an advantage pccunarily. The pro- ; perty which the County owns in the ,city, if sold, would realize much more , than would be suflicicnt to erect. the l County buildings in the event of separa- i tion. The balance could be judiciously l i applied to educational or other purposes, :in the benefits of which all participate. l, Besides the County would have its cri- , | minals maintained at less cost, and more i to‘their satisfaction, than at present seems t I toibé-the case. ’It certainly seems absurd, :that the County should liave’ti'tlarge fpefty‘i‘n Toronto jettyâ€"shielding, :‘pa’ratfiely speakinwfno-retiiriis, when it 3 could, if sold, and the proceedé‘lproperly invested, 'be made to. yi 1d an income, which would go. far to reduce the high ,ratc of taxation, which the farmch at iany time feel, and especially during the 1 last year or two, have felt to be no light flan-den. This is a fact which hardly ladinits of dispute. Besides, the money i which the County spends should be made I .' to benefit those from whom it is got. At t . . ; present, from the nature of things, this » cannot be the case By moving the .' County town to some rural and central , place people who were called to attend , upon County and othcrjudieial proceed- ;, would be enabled to get home every in evening, instead of as now remaining for a week and" more at a timeâ€"oft there- ,by, forming intimacics and contracting I habits they have cause bitterly to repent of afterwards. This is no indifferent consideration, as'not, long since we heard one of our most popular medical men say that he had known several instances of this kind arisingâ€" Moreover, the peo- ple oftlie County would be interested with ‘.what was going on in County matters. Now they are hid, so to speak, by over- shadowing influence and importance of the city a kind of adjunct thereto, as But if separated, this would not be the case. The officers of the County would likely be men selected from our midst, and would, when eleva- ted to their positions of trust, no doubt- endeavor to repay the confidence rcposed till them, by zealously working for and .promoting the interests of the County. Now it is not so. Besides, if the inha- , bitants of Toronto want to be separated from us, as their actions in the past and it were. ‘ the present position of ail-airs unequivo- cally demonstrate, we cannot see why the people of York should continue to importance, we come confidently forward , and ask the support and sympathy ofl the free and intelligent yocmanry of; York. Upon this being given fairly and liberally, not only much of the success, i hit the very existence of the paper depends. A word on this point it is hoped is enough. The latest news, European and Ameri- . can, collated and expressly condensed for the York jflmldâ€"«so as to give “ nucham [apt/rm” will be found in our columns, and special attention will be dcâ€" ‘ voted to the. collection of matters and L: items of local interest. force the connection upon them. In a word, it seems quite clear it would con- ducc very much to the prosperity, status. and dignity of the “ Yorkites” to have a County Town of their own, and to take the management of their own affairs into their own hands. But the thing cannot be done unless some action be taken in the matter. The people will often wish a thing long, grumble for it, sigh for it, clamor for it, but not step in the right direction for the obtaining thereof will they make, until some bolder spirits have . taken the initiative. Will these be war - ing? We certainly hope not, if the in- . ‘ it will be a treat. i for admittance. for the present. They may suggest other ideas, and may lead to actionâ€"and that action to results alike beneficial to us, and where should the County Town be? In ‘ l another column we purpose saying a. few 3 words on this head. l Since writing the above we are happy to observe that a step in the right direc-‘ tion has been taken in the County Conn-l, cil, now in session in Toronto. That is 5 the way ;,keep the ball rolling. »o< County Town. If the County of York separates from ‘ the city of Toronto, and of this little doubt, the question will be will the County Town be.” I expect that all interested will think alike 5 on this matter. there is} i l “ where 1 0n the contrary, we are inclined to believe there will be some considerable diversity of opinion. This is always the case when anything of imâ€" portance is to be decided. Human na- ture is composed of complex elements. Interest and prejudice are too apt to usurp" the place of real regard for right and the general good. Feeling this to of the reasons which should influence us in the selection of a County Town. It should be the most central place, and one easiest of access to the majority ofinhab- itantsâ€"o e in the most thickly settled part of the country and one, which is noted for its salubrity, and other local advantages, which will make it at once desirable for holding courts and for the residence of its municipal officers. Now the place which most completely f uliils these and kindred conditions should most undoubtedly be selected for the future Icounty seat of York. And iiiipartially,‘ merits of the different places which in iy aspire to the honor of “ County Capital,” we findnone which have such strong claims the village of Richmond Hill. ..'liis view, indeed, is the view which we think will prevail when the matter is COllSlthi‘t‘d and comes to be decided. Hill is the placeâ€"when inhabitants are consideredâ€"the most central to be found in the county the most ,easy of access and desirable localities in the province,% and one that has long since established, for itself a kind of provincial reputation l in the two last mentioned respects. As we before said we do not expect all the ,-. 7 people of York to :gree exactly fuitnj 00 '- tables.

The people we say, for we think it is a1 thing that belongs exclusively to the pee-l ple, and which therefore they should de- cide.
