The undersigned propose to publish
at the town Of MONTICELLO, Mississip-
nj; weekly News Paper " i, lie ABOVE
name. We are well aware that in
attempting 10 commence the publica-
ton of a paper at this time, that we
will have TO labor under serious disad-
vantages; but we feel assured that we
will be sustained by the people of
the South Eastern part of our State,
as they are wholly unsupplied with a
press in that section; we alude TO the
counties south Of Brandon and Paul
ding.
1t is usual in a prospectus to say
something of the objects of paper,
proposed to be published; and the
principles upon which it is to be con-
Quoted. Our object for we will
speak out frankly, is first to make our
paper source Of profit to ourselves,
and secondly while we advance our
own interest, make an honest effort
to advance the interest and happiness
OF those who patronize lis. We will
endeavor to make our paper profta-
bic and interesting TO our patrons, by
the discussion and calculation of those
subjects, which will be most interes-
| ting and useful TO them. These snb.
Jec's we suppose to be those relating
to the great agricultural interest OF
the country-the sound moral prin-
ciples of the community-in short.
the intellectual Improvement of the
great body of the people upon all sub
lects efecting their happiness and
prosperity. Our political principles
are those entertained by Washington
and Jeilerson--ln favor of a strict
and just construction of the Constitu.
ton. We believe that allpowers not

In all pursuits by man invented,
The Ploughman is the best contented;
His callng's good, his profits high,
And on his labors all rely,
Mechanics all by him are fed
Of him tie merchants seek their bread;
His hands give meat to every Thing,
Up from the beggar to the king.
The milk and honey, corn and wheat,
Are by his labors made complete,
Our clothes from him must first arise,
To deck the fop, to dress the wise:

The pIoughman ranks among the great

That dwell upon this earthly ball,
All hail, We farmers, young and old
Push on your plough with courage bold;
Your wealth arises from your clod,
Your independence from your God
If then the plough supports the nation,
And men of rank in every station,
Let Kings to Farmers make a bow,
And every man procure plough.
