PROSPECTUS
FOR THE THIRD VOLUME OF THE
ITlBGR4 ADVOCATE
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 quieScent attribute, which, for a time,
seemed to mark and designate our down
ward proClivity to careIessness and indif.
ference, has fortunately awakened from
Its sluggish apathy; and partially diSin'
thralled from the fatal influence Of a 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 revol.
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 a mere minority which sustained
it. But, the sresistless march of human
reason, before whose advance all obsta'
Giles must ultimately recede, has brought
about 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 VIII
be the same which it has heretofore ad-
vocated. State Rights and State Sorer'
elgnty will be the arterial action when
shall give life and animation to its polln
cal character.-But, while exercising a 70
nacity for those principles which will nev'
er yield to caprice, the columns ofthlsIour,,
nal will, at all times, be open to Liberia,
and offered as ready channe'
to the tide Of passing events, and an ac'
ceptable organ Of general science and us0'
full knowledge. ,u
We cordially invite the patronage o. o.
those who concur with us in sentiment, a'
well as the magnanimity ofthose who ulS
sent from usin politics, to cooperate IN sus,
tanning the press. The Advocate WI y ~
future appear, under the Editorial superyI'
sion Of JAMES M. SMILEY, Esqr., and pup

The extensive and growing interest o
the Southwest, its moral and social i'm
provement, and its increasing literary ant
scientific demands, have awakened atten
ton to the fact that i'll this highly impor
tant portion of our country there is nj
journal or paper so exclusively devoted tc
literature and science, advocating the doc
trines Of no party.
Feeling the necessity of such a paper
the Jefferson College and Washington NY
ceum have commenced the publication o
periodical entitled "THE SoUTH-WEs
TERN JOURNAL" to be 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 i'll form to the ''Pen
ny Magazine" and is protected by good
envelope, so that it may be conveyed tc
any distance without injury.
1t will be remembered that we have nc
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.
Pecunlary emolument constitutes no part
of the object of this duplication. 1t is not
intended to benefit any individual or the
Lyceum in pecunary point of view.
The sole object is to advance knowledge
and difiuse taste for the refined enjoy
ments 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
promptly and cheerfuIly 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 IS 90, in all
cases in adUance.
The first number Of this paper is dated
December Is, 1887, and it will be contin-
ned semi-monthly from that date.

THE MISSISSIPPI JUSTICE, AND
CONSTABLE'S GUIDE.
TNHE scarcity Of the Revised Code and
Sheet acts Of the Legislature, and
the difficulty with which the Justices and
Constablcs ofthis State supply themselves,
and the great want Of such a work, as a
Justice of the Peace on my own part, has
induced me to offer to the Justices and Con-
stables Of this State adigest ofaIl the Laws
in force, in relation to their duties &C., to-
gether with complete set of forms of
Deeds, Wills, Bonds, Acknowledgements of
Dover, and other Instruments.
To place such work into the hands of
our Justices and Constabes would save
much trouble and time to the Officer for
whom the work is intended. AS the law now
stands II is with the utmost difficulty to be
ascertained whether written law is in
force or not, which often mislead us.
The work will be published in one Du-
odecmo Volume, law binding, comprising
from two hundred and fifty to three hun
dred pages, with digcsted index of the
contents, giving condensed statement Of
all il contains.--The work. will be ready
for delivery the lst ofMarch, 1889.
Terms made known on delivery.

who will publish this prospectus will re-

All these memorials are merely mega
tive. They do not ask for any action of
this House upon any matter yet before it,
but simply, that the propriety of an act,
not now proposed to be done, be referred
to a committee of this House. There
was, clearly, no need, at present, of any
such reference as was proposed. The re-
public of Texas had attempted to open
negotiation for admission to the Union,
with this government, which overture
was declined on the ground of our rela-
tons with Mexico. This government
had peremptorily refused to do anything
whatever upon the matter. Nothing had
been done, or had been proposed to be
done, in Congress, upon the subject No
memorial in favor of such measure had
ever been before this House. No refer
ence of any such subject had been made
to committee, nor had any committee to
consider it been appointed.
1t was time enough, Mr.. Wise con.
ceived, to discuss the subject which had
been dwelt upon with so much feeling
and earnestness by the gentleman from
Massachusetts, when it should come up
regularly for discussion. AS to the ques-
tion of slavery in Texas, and the infusion
of its venom" into the pure morality Of
this Republic, for the present (said Mr.
Wise) zoe certainly may not say to the
republic of Texas, in the words of St
paul, Would to God that thou wer
both almost and altogether such as we are
except these bonds"
He moved to lay the pending motions
of reference on the table.
Mr.. Rhett and Mr.. Dowson appealed
to Mr.. Wise to withdraw his motion, II
enable them to make some reply to wha
had failed from Mr.. Adams.
Mr.. Wise insisted upon his motion, a
the only proper course to be taken in tn

ORIGIN OF THE AMERICAN INDIANS.
A small octave ofstwo hundred and fifty
pages, bearing the foregoing title, has
recently been published at Toronto, NC,
bv J. Macintosh. The author is Scotch
gentleman, Of extensive travel, who has
bestowed much study upon the question
involved in the title of his book. His
labors have been directed more to research,
than to original speculation or compost
ton. The theory of M. Macintosh is,
that the American Indians are of Tartar,
or Asiatic origin-a position which he
sustains, conclusively, as we think, by an
extensive comparison of the manners, hab-
its, customs, &c. Of the northern Asiatic
nations with those of North, America.
He has collected many and striking evil
dences in regard to their religious OBJ
serVances, their dances, feasts, and in
many other respects, appertaining as we'll
to times of peace as in warn YSpee.
