PROSPECTUS
OF THE
SOUTHWESTERN JOURNAL.
OF TIE

~ HE extensive and growing iniercsts of the
u South West, its moral and social improve.
ment; and its increasing literary an scientific dc.
mands, have awakened attention 10 the fact that il
this highly important portion OF our county there
is no journal or paper exclusively devoted 10 liter
allure and science, advocating the doetrines Of no
party
Feeling the necessity Of such a paper, the Jcifer-
son, College and sVashingt N Lyceum contemplate
publishing periodical to be entitled SHE
SOUTH WESTERN JOURNAL" to be dcvo-
ted to literature and science, and all subjects inter-
esting to the general reader.
1t will be published semi-monthly, in the ity #
Natchez, and will contain sixteen small quarto pa
ges, similar in form TO the ''Pcnny MagaEinf ;" on
fine paper, and protected by a good envelope, SO
that it may be conveyed 10 any distance without
injury. The pages ofthe envelope viii be appro-
pfipriated to advertisements and general notices.
The editorial department will be conducted by
gentleman long known in the communityns an "a
bic aud spirited editor, whose zeal in subjects of
Literature and science will render him an efficient
director of such publication.
twill be remembered that we have work in
the South West similar to the one in ,ontempla-
ton aud every one who feels a pride in any en-.
terprize calculated to enhance the soca and moral
character of orr country should come forward and
assist in carrying this worthy enterprise into oper
alton.
Pecuniary emolumcnts constitutes no part Of the
object Of this publication. Ii is rot intcnted to
benefit any individual or lyceun in a pceuniary
point of view. Thier sole object is to ad yance
knowledge and difase taste for the refined enjoy
mpnts of Literature and Science.
Nothing is wanting to the accomplishment Of the
wishes Of the Lyceum but the patronage of the
community; and it's expected thar this patronage
viii be promptly and cheerfully extended.

VIOLATION oF THE RIGHT OF PROPERTY
4 citizen of Wilmington. n. c. lately carried
slave with him as servant to Boston. AS he
ought to have known would be the case, the
slave was taken from him by the abolitionists,
and, according to recent judicial decision in
that State, he had no remedy. We are very
far from intending to palliate such violation
Of justice, under color of law; but at the same
time, the master deserved this punishment-it
was light cnough-too ight-for carrying a
slave among the abolitionists, intending to bring
it back again to reside among other slaves at
the South.

The CriSis-the Rcmcdy-Suspension
of Specie Payments. An nnammatorv
handbiIl under this heading has been posed
up in all the principal thoroGghi;,reS, and
extensively circulated. The intention is to
do mischief and can only aygravatc the
evils Of which We complain. The example
cited OF ihe suspension Of specie payments
during the war can have no earthly applica-
ion to the prcscn: state of things. Our
dcb.S then TO Great Britain were ncccssari-
ly held in abcyancc, for they could no: be
exac'ed during q sta;c Of warfare, and it
was impcr;ouS!v called for by the state Of
the times. But the adoption ofsuch a mea-
sure can Only be justified by extreme ne
ccssity, which necessity does not al present
exist. \ great want OF confidence has ari-
sen, and for the banks 10 adopt the meas
urc recommended would be, like pouring
oil uron tic fire, 10 make it burn the fer
Ger.
Suppose the measure TO be adopted
what would be the result Would the
merchant or trader be benefited! Not q
lot: the banks would hold on upon the spc-
Gle but would they extend their lin" Of dis
count beyond prudent circumspection! !
Not dollar; for if they did, the moment
the crisis WIS pas, and specie payments re-
sumed, their vaults would BE- swept clear Of
the precious metals. Would such measure
enable Us 70 create Il credit in England,
and to make our rcm;tanccs Quite the
reverse. 1t would be disgraceful TO US in Il
national point of,jcw, and incXpedient i'll
financial. We may be presscd-hardy
and severely pressed, but we can refrain
lsom compromising Our integrity. An in
diyiIual WHO cannot obtain laciII;ies equal
to his engagements without sacrificing tie
property of his creditors, and the support
of his family, may bcjtistifed in Il tcmpora-
ry suspensien; but nations and national
institutions have no such plea, and all d..
mands against them should be met to
the ut;cmos; ftrth!n". We arc under
the impression that it is weak invention
of the enemy: some Jackson or Van Bu-
rem Jantling, that should b. s:ranglcd in
the birth.

The unparalleled distress III the commercial
community and the unquestionable agency Of
the "specie circular in producing it and keep
ing it up, 1t was hoped would induce the Pres
dentt to revoke this circular, and thus:do some
thing towards mitigating the evil; but recent
editorials in the Washington Globe, supposed
to speak the sentiments of the Administration,
have removed all grounds for such hope. The
ridiculous and childish project of making gold
the common currency ofthc country still ham,s
the imagination of those who hold the reins of
government The following is the conclusion
of one of the articles in the Globe.
President Jackson is gone, but the author of
the letter to Sherrod Williams is in the Pres
idential scat; and the specie policy is still the
order of the day. The Public will rccolect
that letter, and with how much emphasis it
rested upon the increase ofthe gold and silver
circulation, the suppression OF notes under
twenty dollars, and the coinage at the three
branch mints. We venture to predict that
specie will 60 on increasing at the rate of sev-
eral millions per annum during the whole Of
Mr.. Van Buren's administration, and that GOLD
will be a common currency before his time is
out
The three branch Elints will go to work this
summer, and Congress has put it fully in the
power of the administration to keep them at
work. By an act of the last session Of Con-
grcss, the sum of one million of dollars may Be
kept at the mint to supply it with metal; and
by an act of the previous session, an unlimited
amount may be transferred to the mint and its
branches for the same purpose. Thus, the
supply ofmetal will be ample, for it will be u-
limited and the public may rest assured that
the successor to President Jackson, the author
OF the letter to Sherrod Williams, will not sui.
fer the mint and its branches to stand idle for
want ofmateria to work up.

Where nine.tcnths of tine merchants Of a

EDITORIAL CeNvEXrIoNs-A Convention
of Editors was lately held in Kentucky, who
adopted some rules for the government of the
fraternity; similar Convention is soon to be
held in Nashville CTenn.) among the rules
adopted by the Kentucky Convention was
the following:
4th That every proprietor Of newspaper
within the State engages to refuse employ
ment to any apprentice, (whether indentured
or not,) who fails to comply with his engage
ments to his master, although he may have
arrived at the age of twenty-one years.
This rule will, no doubt, soon become gene
raj among editors and publishers. Another
good rule would be to refuse employment to
Journeyman, who, at any time, leaves an
employer in violation of his engagements.
