TWyIiE success that has attended almost every
n effort of literary, liberal, and useful 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-the faithful history of the past,
as reflected by human nature, is the telescope
through which we purpose to view the future;
therefore it is our intention, and will be our du
ty-snd as such, our pleasure also, to furnish
such authentic historical articles as will be a
tource 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 similer effects as human
nature is still the same, the past will be our data.
History, when we consult its pages, tells us that
there are but two great political parties of the
world-those that are for government of the
people, and those who wish government over
the people; government of the many, and
government of the few,--freedom or bondage.
Mans capacity for self government had been
doubted until the experiment in America was
fairly, severity tried, The batteries of disappont-
ed and ie ARess ambition the most powerful agi.
tators, both of men and nations, were directed
against those who labored for its success Wash
ingtons administration had opposition--Jefer-
oOl was SnilOu q huhf6 anu lOOlp anu MS dQInlnl-
stration denounced as weak and worse than
weak; subversive of liberty and the rights of
man. BY whom? By, those who were for a 90
vernment over the people, minority rule, or dis.
appointed ambitionsts, who, like Cataline, would
sacrifice their country to the love of power
With these facts before US, can it be reasonably
expected that the present administration should
pass without oppostion7
Many have said that the late, as well as tho
present administration, would not answer; most
Of whom have neither time nor inclination to in.
vestgate the truth of this-being engaged in
hunting proof to show that they were right in
making the prediction
Uutilthe inventive powers of the human mind
shall cohtrve some way by which every aspirant
to officecan have the one he. wants, opposition
may beexpected. Union and education, rem.
dered effective by free press in America, have
enabledthe people as nation, to not only crush
foreign tyranny, but to support themselves a.
gainst internal factions not less inilncal to their
peace and prosperity. Union gave harmony 10
feeling response to sentiment; and sameness TO
action, Education gave the right direction TO
the combined energies, and taught tho people to
know and value their rights--the blessings of |
popular government. The press was the con. |
ductof BY which an equilibrium was produced !
and NaiAtaiRed through all the parts.

PROSPECTUS
FOh THE
South Western Journal,
A MAGAZINE OF
SCIENCE, LITERATURE AND MIS-
CELLANY.
PUBLISHED sEMI-MoNTHLY
By the Jefferson College and Washington
Lycenm.

The extensive and growing interest OF
the Southwest, its moral and social i'm
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 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.
II is published semi-monthly, in the city
of NatcAez, and contains sixteen small
quarto pages, similar in form to the open
my Magazine" and is protected by good
envelope, so that it may be 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-
terprse 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 pecuRiary point of
view. The sole object Is to advance
knowledge and diifuse 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
ly 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.
tion price S., 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.

RELIGIOUS SUMMARY.

The BETHEL FLAG.-EXertions have
been made by the Female Bethel Union,
and by other friends of Seamen, to main
tain religious exercises on board the ships
lying at our wharves, in the intermission
of public worship on the Sabbath. These
have been attended with great good, and
have cast the seeds of truth into many
minds One object of these exertions was
to persuade the sailors and boatmen to
attend public worship at the sanctuaries of
God. These meetings have also been fire.
quented by many who were idling away
their time on the wharves. Attracted by
the sight of the flag, and OF the sound of
animated singing, they have been drawn
within hearing of the speakers voice, and
their listlessness has been exchanged for
deep attention 1t is important that the
class OF people designed to be benefited
by these operations should have large
share in the sympathy of the churches
