JAMES NJ. SMILEY, Editor.

Notwithstanding the unparalleled pres
sure, which for the last twelve months, has
crampcd and trammeled every depart
ment of the Mechanical, Agricultural and
Commercial community, the unwearied
and interchangeable energies of American
enterprise, are once more giving evidence
OF higher and fairer prospect before us.
That quieseent attribute, which, for time,
seemed to mark and designate our down
ward proclivity to careIessness and indif-
ference, has fortunately awakened from
Its sluggish apathy; and partially disn-
thralled from the fatal influence of too
blind credulity in the infallibility Of
those whom we have elevated above US,
may we not still indulge the hope, that
there is yet held in reserve, a happy re-
suit in the experiment of this last and
once purest Of Republics?
lnstigated, in part, by that grand revolt
ution which has already commenced, and
which is still going on in the opinion of
the people, so far as respects the political
relations existing between the respective
States and the Federal Government, the
present Proprietor is about to embark in
the publication of the Liberty Advocate.
Two years ago, this journal dated its
origin, at period when, in this County,
1t had many difficulties to encounter, and
the strongest opposition to contend with.
The enduring, and, as we conceive, ortho
dox principles, which have nurtured and
sustained the journal through "good and
through evil report" had then in their in
fancy, but mere minority which sustained
it. But, the resistess march Of human
reason, before whose advance all obsta-
cles must ultimately recede, has brought
about a brighter and fairer dawn; and
the philanthropist and the patriot can
now look in prospective upon the re-
visit of those purer days, which once
pointed to the destiny of our much be-
loved country.
The political creed of the Advocate will
be the same which it has heretofore ad.
vocated. State Rights and State SOvcr-
eighty, will be the arterial action which
shall give life and animation to its politr
cal character.-But, while exercising ate'
nacity for those principles which will new
er yield to caprice, the columns ofthisj jour
nal will, at all times, be open to liberal
discussion, and offered as ready channel
to the tide Of passing events, and an ac'
ceptable organ of general science and use"
full knowledge.
We cordially invite the patronage Of all
those who concur with us in sentiment, as
well as the magnanimity ofthose who dis
sent from us in politics, to cooperate in sus-
tanning the press. The Advocate will 10
future appear, under the Editorial supervE-
sion Of JAMES NJ. Smiley, Esqr., and pub
lished on the same terms Of the former
numbers, by A. w. FORSYTHE.

PROSPECTUS
FOR THE
SOUTHWESTERN JOURNAL.
MAGAZINE OF
SCIENCE, LITERATURE g. MISCELLANY.
Published Semi.Monthly,
BIZ the Jefferson College and Washington Lyceum

The extensive and growing interest OF
the South West, 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 nc
journal or paper so exclusively devoted to
literature and science, advocating the doc
trines of no party.
Feeling the necessity of such paper,
the Jefferson College and Washington Ly-
ceum have commenced the publication oil
periodical entitled "THE SoUTH-W Es.
TERN JOURNAL" to DO devoted to litera.
ture and science, and all subjects interest
ing to the general reader.
| 1t is published seml-monthly, in the CT
ty of Natchez, and contains sixteen small
qnarto pages, similar in form to the "Pen.
ny 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 South West 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 emolument constitutes no part
of the object of this publication. 1t is not
intended to benefit any individual or the
Lyceum in a pecuniary point Of view
The sole object is to advance knowledge
and difuse a taste for the refined enjoy
ments of literature and science.
Nothing is now wanting to the accom-
plishment of the wishes Of the Lyceun
but the patronage of the community; and
it is expected that this patronage will be
promptly and cheerfully extended.
All communications in reference to the
periodical should be addressed, post paid
to Professor J. A. VAN HoEssEN, the Sec
rotary Of the Lyceum, Natchez, Mississip
pi. The subscription price SIS 90, in all
cases in Gdrdnce.
The first number Of this paper is dated
December Is, 1887, and it will be contin
ned semi.monthly from that date.

TYpE sSrIcKERs.--We casually mentioned
"a day or two ago that the newly elected May

newman printer. The instances are not rare
in which those bred in the profession of print
ino have become distinguished and hopored.
To say nothing of Franklin, the beacon light
of the craft, we have In our day more than one
instance of this honorable distinction. Isaac
Hill, the Governor of New Hampshire, was.a
journeyman printer; Samuel Armstrong, late
Mayor of this city, was once journeyman
printer; Mr.. Knapp, the Secretary Of the State
in Vermont, was a printer. And what is Of
more consequence in the editorial profession,
some of the most distinguished were regular
lv bred in the craft. Our neighbor Greene,
the popular editor of the Morning Post, was a
ragged little roller-boy. Mr.. Homer of the
Gazette was brought up on plea and brepier.
We recollect many years since, OF seeing q
tow-headed overgrpwn boy In an obscure PRINT
ing Office in Vermont That boy is now Mr..
Greedy, the talented editor of the New Yorker.
OF equal obscure origin was the editor OF the
New York Spirit Of the Tunes, Mr.. VIM I.
Porter.
The first we ever saw of Deacon Weld, the
editor of the New York Sun, and clever wri-
ter for various magazines, &c., was in a print
ing office at Lowell, when he was no higher in
grade than primers devil The truth is, IT
a boy has genius, the art of printing will draw
it out and set tito work. Printers with the
same amount of natural talent always make
the most popular editors, because they i'm.
