GENERAL HARRISON.

We cannot dismiss our picture q tho late war
in Ohio, without saying . few words respecting
our principal figure ON the canvass. We ask our
readers, attention to them.
General William Henry Harrison every where
appears on the whole field Of his operations. The
commssary's and quartesmaster's departments,
tho recruiting service, all, all tho machinery Of

Of all sorts, performed by him, in the portion OF
his life, astonished Few men could have
carried on the correspondence, which he was com
PEELED to do, in the same period time. He wrote
constantly to Governors Of States, officers Of the
army, and tho Secretary Of War. He traversed
all the swamps OF tho northwest. constantly, al
most. He visited the principal depots Of Provis-
ions, and Of troops, in Ohio He travelled be-
tween tho distant points, which he often visited,
but when he went, hc travelled night and day.
Sometimes going foot, leading his horse, and
jumping from bog to bog, he made his way through
the wilderness OF swamps. While on tiresomc,
rapid, and long marches, with his troops, in the
wilderness, his cheerfuiness and bu0yancy Of sri-
rits cheercd all hearts. A cheerful remark from
any soldier, in such cases, produced q hearty
laugh from his general, who reechoed the remark
with applause. Marching through the mud, the
soldiers often sung some rude song of their own
manufacture. the General sometimes joined in

aYou ask my opinion OF the merits Of Henry
Clay, and his policy for the protection OF domes-
tic industry and manufacturers. These are
questions which feel some delicscy about ans

derstood to what ends his policy extends, and al
though will advance my opinion relative to the
questions you put to me, must beg that you will
not II this iunciure give my views to the public

him to b one Of the most talc~tcd aad brilliant
men and sfaecsacs that the cosstry has eser pro-

| Notwithstanding the unparalleled pres.
sure, which for the last twelve months. has
cramped and trammelled every depart
ment of the Mechanical, Agricultural and
Commercial community, the unwearied
and indefatigable energies of American
enterprise, are once more giving evidence
of a higher and fairer prospect before US
That quiescent attribute, which, for a time
seemed to mark and designate our down
ward proclivity to carelessness and indf
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, happy re.
suit in the experiment of this last and
once purest Of Republics?
lnstigated, in part, by that grand revo.
utlon 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 a period when, in this County

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
1t. But, the resistless march Of human
reason, before whose advance all obsta
Giles must ultimately recede, has brough
about brighter and a fairer dawn; and
the philanthropist and the patriot car
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 adj
vocated. State Rights and State Sovsr'
eighty will be the arterial action which
shall give life and animation to its poIitl
cal Characteristic, while exercising a te-
lacity for those principles which will new
,r yield to caprice, the columns ofthis jour,

discussion, and offered as ready channel

eptable organ of general science and use

Published Semi-Monthly,
By the Jefferson College and Washington Lyeeurn.

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
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 Of
a periodical entitled "THE SourH-WEs
TERN JOURNAL" to be devoted to litera.

Il is published semi-monthly, in the CT
|ty Of Natchez, and contains sixteen mall
qnarto pages, similar in form to the "Pen-
my Magazine" and is protected by good
envelope, so that it may be conveyed to
any distance without injury.
II win 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 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 diffuse taste for the refined enjoy
ments Of literature and science.
Nothing is now wanting to the accom-
plishmeN of the wishes Of the Lyceum
but the patronage of the community; and
it is expected that this patronage will be
promptly and cheerfnlly 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-

cases in Advance.
The first number of this paper is dated

The Laws of Mississippi.

Il AW, being the rule Of action pres
- cribed by the supreme power Of the
State, commanding what is right, and pro-
hibiting what is wrong, general acquain-
lance with its provisions is desirable to
the scholar, the legislator, the planter and

can government, like our own, dependant,
for the perpetuity Off institutions, alone
on an enlightened public sentiment, re-
qure some knowledge of the legal enact
ments, upon which their lives, their lib
critics, and their fortunes, depend.
The laws of Mississippi, ola general ma
ture, as enacted by her successive egisla-
lures, lie scattered in numerous volumes,
buried under mass Of private acts, of inn
portance to those alone who are directly
interested in their provisions, and offering,
by their bulk, and the want Of arrangement,
an almost insuperable barrier to that gen
eral dissemination Of their contents, a.
mongst the great mass of the people,
which their Importance would seem to re-
quire.

general nature, now in force, in this State,
under their appropriate titles, together
with suitable digested index, and super
