These being our views Respecting the past
the inquiry naturally psescnts itself. How ar,
we TO trasmit TO posterity, or even secure TO our
selves, the rights and privileges we onioyl This
we think, can be effected only by continuing in
general to pursue past policy rejecting the new
and as we believe dangerous spcculations Of yisi
onary theories and political infdels.
This paper will act in concert with the demo.
crazy Of the republic In doing so, the publish.
ers will have necessarily to differ in opinion with
those who oppose it. This they will do fearless
ly, yet candidly; expecting that lbcrality and
candor they are willing to allow to 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 inpersion
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 all classes, we
will select from the stores of human knowledge
that only which is useful and ornamental; details
OF the historian-the results of the experimental
island the illusions of the novelist and poet.
Facts will be stated, and calculations on proba-
bllities made, so that the events of Yesterday
may become the subjects of reflection to day, and
the lever of tomorrow

TyEIIs Institution, under the superin,
IN tendence Of w. II, BRUNER and
LADY, has been in operation since June
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 it 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.

the wants and interests of the people,
The detailed-the faithful history Of the past
| as reflected by human nature, is the telescope
through which we purpose to view the future
therefore it is our intention, and will be our du
ty-and 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 our data
History, when we consult its pages tells us that
there are but two great political parties of the
world-those that are for government of the
people, and those who wish government over
the people: government of the many, and a
government of the few,-freedom or bondage.
Mans capacity for self government had been
doubted until the experiment in America was
fairly, severity tried The batteries of disappoint.
cd and restless ambitions the most powerful agi.
tators, both of men and nations, were directed
against those who labored for its success Wash
lngton's administration had oppostion-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 whom? By those who were for a go
vernment over the people, -ninority rule, or dis
appointed ambitionists, who, like Catalina, would
sacrifice their country to the love of power
With these facts before us, can il be reasonably
expected that the present administration should
pass without opposition7
Many have said that the late, as we'll as the
present administration, would not answer; most
OF whom have neither time nor inclination to in
vvestigate the truth of ths-being engaged in
hunting proof to show that they were right in
making the prediction
Uutll the inventive powers of the human mind
snail 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, have
enabled the people as a nation, to not only crush
foreign tyranny, but to support themselves a
gainst internal factions not less inimcal to their
peace and prosperity. Union gave harmony to
feeling; response to sentiment; and samenesS to
action. Education gave the right direction to
the combined energies, and taught the people to
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

by the Jefferson College and Washington
Lyceum.

The extensive and growing interest O
the Southwest, its moral and social i'm
provement, and its increasing literary anc
scientific demands, have awakened atten
ton to the fact that in this highly impor
tant portion ofour country there is no lour
nal or paper so exclusively devoted to lit
erature and science, advocating the doc
trine of no party.
FeelIng the necessity of such a paper
the Jefferson College and Washington Lv.
ceum have commenced the publication Of
aperiodcal entitled "TIIE SOUTH-WES.
TERN JOURNAL" to be devoted to lit
erature and science, and all subjects inter
esting to the general reader.
1t is published semi-monthlv. in the civ
of Natchoz, and contains sixteen small
quarto 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 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 pecuniary point Of
view. The sole object is to advance
knowledge and diffnse a taste for the
refined enjoyments 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 thisp patronage will be prompt
ly and cheerfulIy extended.
All communications in reference to the
periodical should be addressed, post paid.

Nm presenting this Prospectus before
the public, the publishers have only to
say, that the rapid growth fthe town
and Improvement Of the country in which
it is to be published, requires the estab
lishment Of Press; and that their design
is to endeavor to make it subserve the
great objects for which public Journals
should be established-the diffusion of in
telligence and information among the peo-
pie, and vehicle in which opinions and
sentiments may be freely lnterchanged in
whatever relates to the morals, manners,
and political rights of the people. As far
us its Editorial character is concerned, it
will advocate the sentiments and the po-
litical principles for which the individual,
whose name it bears, was so distinguished,
and resist with reason and argument, as
he did with his sword, the expressions of
TYRANNY AND DEsPoTIsM, let them come
