OF THE
SOUTHERN ARGUS,

A Weekly Newspaper published at
COLUMBUS, MIssIssIPPI.
This journal has been published nearly five
years, and although it has, until lately, been
comparatively diminitivc sheet, yet the sup
port extended to it has been hattering and sat
isfactory to the proprietor. It is now printed
on a double Medium sheet on entirely new
Type, and vies In point of appearance with the
most beautiful newspapers in the South West
The Editor deems it altogether unnecessary
to make an elaborate statement Of the creed OF
politics which viii be advocated IN the columns
of the ARGUS, as almost every politician m the
State is already aware the course it has hlther-
to pursued; a course it will never abandon
while it is under the control of the present
Editor. It has uniformly opposed the last and
present AdministT ations Of the General Govern
ment, for the reason that the Editor sincerey
believes that the doctrines promulgated and sus-
tanned by them are subversive of the "RIeHTs
OF THE STATES" and ruinous to the best IN
terests of the people at large, particularly the
people of the South
Southern interests and Southern institutions
VIII find in the ARGUS sincere and warm de-
fender, and the doctrine of estate R1GHTs y
as understood by that patriarch of true Demo-
cracY, THOMAS JEFFERSON, will be upheld and
advocated, to the overthroWing of the Spu-
rious Democracy of Martin Van Buren, and his
followers.
The columns of the ARGUS viii be diversif-
ed, and made interesting by the Einsertion Of
whatever can instruct, amuse and delight the
general reader as well as the sober politician.
The ladies viii always find something IN its
columns to please them; in short it will be the
ann the Editor to make his paper a welcome
yisiter to every freside.

Messrs. Webster, Calhoun and Clay. II
sufficient number of subscribers are OBJ
tanned to authorize the additional expence,
those of Messrs. Wright and Benton will
be added, the latter being necessary to a
full understanding of the subject. The

try as the most splendid specimens ofintel-
lectual effort of modern times. Those OF
Messrs. Benton and Wright, who did not
participate n the personal contest with the
three first named Senators, are explanato-
ry of the Bill, and the subject is soimpor-
tant that it is thought desirable topublish
them altogether. This work should be
kept by every gentleman, to whatever pro-
fession he belongs as a book Of statistical
reference upon the subject of the currency.

tach an interest and importance to our present being

that direct our way, and constitute our relations
When we look upon nature, in the pride and glory
of her verdant dress, her murmuring streams, her
pleasant sounds when all her treasures of air and

live, and think, and move upon the subservIoncy OF
their exhaustless appropriations.
We shall find that the miseres of man result rath-

For THE CALEDoNIAN.1
MELANCHOLY.

Mankind are apt to consider life scene of un.
pleasant shades and preponderating misery. They
brood over the gloom which disordered fancy has
created, and look not TO the beauties and blessings
which surround their path. They sigh at the re
membrance of other times, of hopes which their
own bosoms have entombed of voiee s which death
has sllenced ofpossessions which have flown away
IKE winged things of reputation whose bright.
ness one fatal hour has obscured of designs crushed
on the eve of accomplishment; and nurmur at life,
because at their fellow men they cannot--at God
'hey dare not-and at themselves ,hey will not.
IL was an idea of ancient philosophy, that nature
abhorred vacuum. Erroneous as was this senti
ment IN Its original application it is trne in regard
10 Inc human mind 1t cannot res, when the hone
or reality it chershes removed Man is n creoture
OF alternate JOY and woe. And this alienation ;s ~
hrSt resolved into an equality; then, by transnosi-
uon that acknowledges no rule, nisiudpinp ammo
honsion places the preponderance upon the uronr
SIDE, and concludes that the actual hanninoss n
man Is thing oil circumstance, and not an ns,,tp.
uon OF Providence. But is this true Is the stream
Vi our existence always turbid and heavy?
cannot the alluremens of literature of society
and religion brighten the sombre scene of life? Is
mere nothing cheering the heart in all the activ
~ Vi the natural and moral world Cannot the
'e"Plaaon OF ourselves, of our Immortality, at
