1hes Icing our views respecting the past,
the inquiry naturally paesents itself. How are
we TO trasmit TO poeterity, OF even secure TO our
selves, ths rights and privileges we enjoyl This,
we think, can be effected only by continuing In
general to pursue past policy, rejecting the new
and as we believe dangerous spocuations OF wish
onary theories and political infdels. H.
This paper viii oct In concert with the demo-
crazy ofthe republic In doing so, the publish
ers will have necessarily to differ in opinion with
those who oppose IT. Phis they will dc fearless
~, yet candidlyi expecting that lbcrality and
candor they are wiling to allow 70 others.
A primary object of the Planter is TO furnish
to the friends and supporters of the present adj
ministration and others, paper in which they
can see reflected without distortion or Inversion
the passing real scenes of life; embracing the
most interesting topics Of the day.
With view to render the PLANTER worthy
OF patronage, and interesting TO ell classes, we
will select from the stores of human knowledge
that only which is useful and ornamental: details
of the hstorian--the results of the experimental
island the illusions of the novelist and poet.
Facts will ha stated, and calculations on proba-
bilities made, so that the events Of yesterday
may become the subjects Of reflection to day, and
the lever of tomorrow

last and on account of the liberal patron
age which is now extended to it, we are
encouraged TO believe that we will be en-
abled to give as thorough course of edu-
cation as can be obtained in any of the
Northern cities.
We deem il entirely unnecessary to en-
umerate, as is the custom, the whole course
of study to be pursued in the institution
for it is our intention to give thorough
and polished education to all who are en-
trusted to our care sufficient length OF
time.
We will also accommodate in our own
family limited number of young ladies'
who will receive every attention and com,
fort incident to board.

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

The extensive and growing interest Of
the Southwest, its moral and social inn
provement, and its increasing literary and
scientific demands, have awakened atten-
ton to the fact that in this highly imrcr.
tant portion cfour 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
periodical entitled s.THE SOUTH-WES-
TERN JOURNAL to be devoted to lit
eratrre and science, and all subjects inter
esting to the general reader
tits published semi-monthly, in the city
of Natchcz, and contains sixteen small
quarto pages, similar in form to the 'Pen
nv Magazine" and is protected by a 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-
terprise 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 a pecuniary point oil
view. The sole object is to advance
knowledge and diffuse taste for the
refined enjoyments of Literature and
Science, ~
Nothing is now wanting to the accom-
pishment of the wishes of the Lyceum but
the patronage of the community and It is
expected that this patronage will be prompt
" ana checriully EXTENDED.
All communications in reference to the
periodical should be addressed, post paid

TENIE success that hs 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 far the publishers are able, adapted to
the wants and interests Of the people.
The detailed-the aithful history of the past,
reflected by human nature, is the telescope
through which we purpose to view the future;
there fore it is our intention, and will be our du-
ty-s nd 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.
ses produce the same or similer effects: as human
nature is still the same the past will be data.
History, when VIC consult its pages, tell us that
there are but two great political parties of the
world-those that are for government Of tie
people, and those who wish government over
the people: government of the many, and
government of the ew,-freedom or bondage.
Mans ca pacity for self government had been
doubted until the experiment in America was
fairly, severlv tried. The batteries of disappoint
ed and rcsti ,ss ambition; the most powerful agi
tators, both of men and nations, were directed
against those who labored for its success. Wash
ington's administration had opposition-Jeffer-
son was called knave and fool and his admin
stration denounced as weak and worse than
weak: subversive of liberty and the rights of
man. By whom2 By those who were for 60
vernment over the people, minority rule, or dis
appointed ambitionists, 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 opposition7
Many have said that the late, as well as the
present administration, would not answer; most
of whom have neither time nor inclination to in
vestgatc the truth of ths--bcng engaged in
hunting proof to show that they were right in
making the prediction
Uutil the inventive powers of the human mind
shall contrive some way by which every aspirant
to Office can have the one he wants, opposition
may be expected Union and education, rem.
dered effective by free press in America, haze
enabled the people as nation, 10 not only crush
foreign tyranny, but to support themselves a
gainst internal factions not less nimical to theiI
peace and prosperity. Union gave harmony tc
feeling; response to sentiment; and samcncss tc
action. Education gave the right direction e
the combined energies, and taught the people e
know and value their rights-the blessings Of
popular government. The press was the con
ductor BY which an equilibrium was produced
and maintained through all the parts.
