F0k THE
South Western Journal,
A MAGAZINE OF
LITERATURE AND MIS-
CELLANY.
PUBLISHED SEMI-MoNTHLY
BY the Jefferson College and Washington
Lyceum.

The extensive and growing interest of
the Southwest, its moral and social inn
provement, and its increasing literary and
scientific demands, have awakened atten-
ton to the fact that in this highly impor-
tant portion Of our country there is no Jour
nal or paper so exclusively devoted to lit
erature and science, advocating the doc
trine of no party.
Feeling the necessity of such a paper,
the Jefferson College and Washington Ly-
ceum have commenced the publication of
a periodical entitled ''THE SOUTH-WES-
TERN JOURNAL" to be devoted to lit
erature and science, and all subjects inter
esting to the general reader.
1t is published semi-monthly, in the city
of Natchoz, and contains sixteen small
quarto pages, similar in form to the "Pen
ny Magazine" and is protected by good
envelope. 50 that it NAV he conveyed to
any distance without injury.
1t will be remembered that we have no
work in the Southwest similar to this =;
and every one who feels pride in any en-
terprise calculated to enhance the social
and moral character ofour country, should
come forward and assist in this worthy
enterprise.
Pecuniary emoluments constitutes no
part of the object of this publication. 1t
is not intended to benefit any individual
or the Lyceum in pecuniary point of
view. The sole object is to advance
knowledge and difluse taste for the
refined enjoyments of Literature and
Science.
Nothing is now wanting to the accom-
| plishment of the'wishes of the Lyceum but
the patronage of the community; and it is
expected that this patronage will be prompt
| y and cheerfully extended
All communications in reference to the
periodical should be addressed, post paid,
to Professor J. A. VAN HoEsEN, the Sec. OF
the Lyceum, Natchez, Mi. The subscrip-
ton price So, in all cases in advance.
The first number of this paper is dated
Dec. Is, 1887, and it will be continued Sc
mi-monthly from that date.

NVTIIS Institution, under the superin,
y tcndence of w. H. BRUNER and
LADY, has been in operation since June
last; and on account of the liberal patron
age which is now extended to it, we are
encouraged to believe that we will be en-
abled to give rs thorough course of edu-
cation as can be obtained in any of the
Northern cities.
We deem it entirely unnecessary to en-
umerate, as is the custom, the whole course
of study to be pursued in the institution
for it is our intention to give thorough
and polished education to all who are en-
trusted to our care a sufficient length OF
time.
We will also accommodate in our own
family limited number of young ladies'
who will receive every attention and com
fort incident to board.

YVfIE rapid influx of emigration, increasing
n business, growing wealth, and political
character of Noxubee oonnty, seems to demand
the establishment of democratic press. The
result of the late elections prove the county to
be decidedly democratic in political faith, and
the impetus which the establishment of cores
ponding organ would lend to the success of the
party, as well as to the general growth and
prosperity Of the town and county in which it is
located, all are ready TO acknowledge.
The policy Of the great democratic party, as
maintained by Jefferson and exemplifed in the
of Jackson, experience has proved
to be the only course by which the United States

Many have said that the late, as we'll us the
present administration, would not answer; most
Of whom have neither time nor inclination 60 in
vestigate the truth of ths--being engaged in
hunting proof TO show that they were right in
making the prediction
Uutil the inventive powers of the human mind
shall contriye some way by which every aspirant
to Office can have the one he wants, opposition
may be expected. Union and education, rem
dored effective by free press in America, have
enabled the people as nation, TO not only crush
foreign tyranny, but to support themselves a.
gainst internal factions, not less inimical to their
peace and prosperity. Union gave harmony to
feeling; response to sentiments and sameness to
action. Education gave the right direction to
the combined energies, and taught the people to
know and value their rights-the blessings of
popular government. The press was the CON
ductor by which an equilibrium was produced
and maintained through all the parts
These being our views respecting tho past,
the inquiry naturally psesents itself How are
we to trasmit to posterty, or even secure to our
selves, the rights and privileges we cnioyl This,
we think, can be effected only by continuing in
general to pursue past policy, rejecting the new
and as we believe dangerous speculations of yisi.
onary theories and political iniidels
This paper will act in concert with the demo.
cracy of the republic. In doing so, the publish
ers will have necessarily TO differ in opinion with
those who oppose it, This they will do fearless.
~ yet candldly; expecting that lberality and
candor they are willing to allow to others
primary object of the Planter is to furnish
to the friends and supporters of the present ad.
mlnistration and others, paper in which they
can see reflected without distortion or Inversion
the passing real scenes of life; embracing the
most interesting topics of the day.
With view to render the PLANTER worthy
OF patronage, and interesting to all classes, we
will select from the stores of human knowledge
that only which is useful and ornamental; details
OF the historian-thc results of the experimental

FENHE success that has attended almost every
IL effort of literary, liberal, and useeal ten
dency in this community, has led to preparations
for publishing paper in Liberty, Amite county,
to be as far the publishers are able adapted to
the wants and interests Of the people
The detailed-tle faithful history Of the past,
as reflected by human nature, is the telescope
through which we purpose to view the future
therefore il is our intention, and will be our du-
ty-and as such, our pleasure also, to furnish
such authentic historical articles as will be a
tourcc of profitable and pleasing information to
she readers of the Planter. All we know, or can
know of the mysterious future, is and must be
derived from the past The same or similar eau
SEES produce the same or similcr effects as human
nature is still the same, the past will be our data.
History, when we consult its pages, tell $ us that
there are but two great political parties of the
world-those that are for government of the
people, and those who wish a government over
the people: government of the many, and a
government of the fow,--freodom or bondage.
Mans capacity for self government had been
doubted until the experiment in America was
fairly, severly tried The batteries Of disappoint-
ed and restless ambition; the most powerful agi-
tators, both Of men and nations, were directed
against those who labored for its success Wash
ington's administration had oppostion--Jefler-
son was called Il knavo and fool and his admin-
stration denounced as weak and worse than
weak; subvorsivc of liberty and the rights Of
man. BY whom? BY those who were for go
vernment over the people, minority rule, or dis
appointed ambitionists, who, like Catalina, would
sacrifice their country TO the love of power
With these facts before us, can il be reasonably
expected that the present administration should
pass without oppositien7
