The Object of Our Farmer.

Evetiy newspaper established, every journal or magazine that is published, lias some originnl object in view, some gram! cml to attain, and this object and end is tlie constant tliemc in the mind of the originator. How quickly one can perceive the aim of v newspaper after reading a few columns ; there is a tone running through them that speak- the object of the journal ns plainly as do the names of tlie Presidential or Gubernatorial candidates that head the frontal columns. The whole purpose is perceivable in every paragraph and column, and tbe more sincere nnd devoted to the cause the more boldly and independently is that purpose, developed in what is written. This is consistent, this is right. Our journal, the Califoknia pAiiJitit, we mean shall bear on the face of it, and in every part of it, the constant proof that it is devoted to the cause of the Former, the Mechanic and Laboring Man. Our object is so to labor ns to give to their cause the greatest nmouiit of success. We mean to lie consistent; to do our duty boldly, fearlessly, aud independently. We will not publish or ndvocnte uuythiug knowingly that wilt militate against that success. We have no party to serve; no sect to warp our conscience ;no clique to please. We know no North, no South, no East, no West. Prcmincnt in our mind—engraved on the tablets of the heart—sits eushrincd California Interests, California prosperity. With these high and linn resolves, we shall ever labor with our journal while we live. We love our work, and mean $t cling to it, so that we may do nil we can to develop the resources of this great State, and to make these resources known abroad. To do this, we will spread before our readers all the most valuable information we can gather touching these interests, and we wish the cooperation of all good and true men nnd women, to aid us in our work. We ask them to look over these columns, rend what is published, and cßtnpare it'witli much that is scattered elsewhere, and ask if such truths should not be widely disseminated. What do the people in the Uld States know of California, except that Gold comes from our shores? They are bliud to all else ; and every Californian who returns from the Old States will say they kuuw but little of our State and its resources.

Now, why should our Merchants and Buaiuessmen sit croaking about hard times and dull business, when by the right kind of ell'orts they could bring a population of 500,000 people here in one year. This is what is wanted ;we have urged it, and we ask the aid of all to do this.

Send the Had aVaM of the State, and scatter Such facts as will bring here, farmers, Mechanics, and their FiSmiljtS. This is what we want. Help us to send our Journal abroad by the thousand, and scatter it in the railroad cars, in the steamers and in hotels; this will help do this: for the Faiimku conveys the True Picture of California, and not the dark side only. To all who wish to send our Journal, we will give them liberal terms; will even do as much ns can be asked of us, for we mean to make California known from one end of the earth to the other.

To those who wish to send five, ten, or twenty copies abroad, we we will make very literal terms ; ami we know the Fakmkr bears throughout all its columns its Devotion lo ihe true interests of California.

Thanks.—We return our kindest thanks to those of our patrons who have promptly responded to our call, and have remitted us their subscriptions. We kri"w we can do them good service in time to come. They have our gratitude.
