PROSPECTUS OF THE
Southern Mechanic.
A ,ceekly Newspaper, to be published
in tie City Of Vicks5hrg.
EDITED by JOHN ]. HAMILTON.

TUSTOM, the most potent of all law-givers,
~ has imposed upon every individual who Of
fers new periodical to the patronage of the
public, the necessity of giving something in the
form of what is commonly called Prospectus,
containing Il programme of the nature of the
undertaking in which he is about to embark
and brief exposition of the views entertained
by him in relation to the subjects of which he
proposes to treat.
In compliance with this well established us
age we will endeavor to explain as conciseIv as
possible what is intended to be the character Of
the paper the publication of which we are about
to commence.
The JOUTHERN MECHANIC will, as it's
name denotes, be devoted to the support of the
interests, the advocacy of the rights, and tho
improvement of the mental and physical condi-
ton of those who have devoted their lives to the
pursuits Of the mechanic arts, as we'll as of all
others who obey the scriptural Injunction that
man should "earn his bread by the sweat of his
brow" In the pursuit of lhese objects we SHALL
however, studiousy avoid every thing like at
tempting to infringe upon the rights or oppose
the success of such as engaged in pursuits
different from those which occupy the attention
class OF the community for whose special benefit
our enterprise is undertaken. The time has gone
by when intelligent men could be induced to be-
eve that the interests of the laboring classes of
society were opposed to those Of the rest of their
UNIV SiIiHolS' W. opinion IL
tertained at this enlightened day, we arc proud
to say that ours are not among the number of
those minds which feel and acknowledge its in
fuence. We are firmly convinced that the inte-
rests OF the great mass of mechanics are perfect
ly compatible and ultimately identified with "the
greatest good of the greatest number''-and wo
have but little faith in the honesty and intelli-
gence of those who would endcavor to propagate
an opposite opinion.
With the personal runcor and souless party
hostility which characterize and disgrace ma
ny of the periodicals of the present day, we de-
sire to have as little connexion as possible. Tho
support Of principles, and not the elevation to Of
fee of particular men, is, and we trust ever will
be our end ond aim but should we ever become
so recreantas to desert the standard of truth and
Justice, and enlist under the banner of princi-
pied mdn-io6rship, we shall doubtless incur, as
we shall deserve, the heavy penalty Of the with
drawal of all confidence in us by the honest and
of every sect andparty

The necessity of keeping sharp look
out when we have to do with the Yankees
is fully demonstrated in the following mar
rallve. Our readers recollect notice in
this paper a few days since, Of the safe ar
rival of the schooner Lone, Capt. Clarke,
at Matamoras, after passing the blockade.
Having sold the treigth at an enormous
profit, Capt. Clarke took in q cargo of spe-
Gle and hides worth $4,000, and cleared
again for New Orleans. On the morning
of the 25th June, before daylight, the Lone
passed the bar of the Dell Norte under can
vass with fresh smackng breeze, and
strong expectations Of eluding the vigilance
of the blockadng squadron. But she had
not sailed ten miles to seabelore the breeze
died away and daylight revealed the French
Commander manned boat with dozen sal
lors & marines, boarded and took posses
sion of her as prize. All the crew and
passengers were transferred from the
schooner Lone to the United States soop

the mate and the cook. A lieutenant and Z
prize crew of eight men were then put OF

THE WAY FEDERALIsM WORKs


Simon Snyder was charged by the Fed
eralists in his day with having stolen hides.
he being Tanner by trade-and D. r.
Porter, the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, is now charged by the Federalisls
with having cheated his honest creditors.
In the first case, good old Simon SNYDER
was elected in spite of Federalists and
Baekcockades by an overwhelming maiori-
ty--and so also will ID. II. Porter be in the
second case.
Thomas JEFFERSON, the immortal author
OF the Declaration of independence, and the
Father OF the Democratic party, was charged
by the Federaists with certain colored
transactlons-so also was Richard NJ. John
son--ahd so will it be to the end of time.
1t is gratifying to know, however, that in
every case the SANDER has had no effect.
II would be a singular sight in this couf.
Try to see the people elect swindler to of
fee Immediately after he had swindled.-

ed his creditors, and yet in the face of all
this cheating, the peopls Immediately elect
him to the Legislature! Is it possible that
