SPECIE PAYMENTS.

Some of the New York Banks commenc
) ed paying their notes OH The 2Ist of April
and on the 23d, all the Banks in The CITY re-
sumed specie payments in the fullest ex.
tent: that is, bills, deposits, and all. 1t is
said also, that they now pay out none but
their own notes.
The Banks of Boston have resolved to
redeem all their notes of the denomination
Of five dollars and under.
After the Sd of July next, that part of
Wisconsin Territory west of the Mississippi
will, by an order of Congress, be known as
the Iowa Territory.
An account of the arrival of the English
steam packet ships will be found in another
column.
The first steam ship that ever crossed the
Atlantic was American. This was the
Savannah, Captain Rogers, of New York.
10 1919 she sailed to Europe twice, and
amongst other pIaces visited the capitals of
Russia and Turkey, where the Captain re-
eived costly presents from the Emperor
nd the Sultan, as tokens Of their graiifica-
on at the success of Jonathan's enterprise.

MAGAZINE OF
LITERATURE AND MIS-
CEILANY.
PUBLISHED sEMI-MoNTHLY
By the Jefferson College and Washington
Lyceam.

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 ofour country there is no Jour
nal or paper so exclusively devoted to lit
erature and science, advocating the doc
trne Of no party.
Feeling the necessity Of such a paDer.
the Jefferson College and Washington Ly-
ceum have commenced the publication Of
a periodical entitled"THE SOUTH-WES-
TERN JOURNAL" to be devoted to lit
erature and science, and all subjects inter
esting to the general reader.
1t is published sem-monthlv, in the city
OF NatchcZ, 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 10
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 of
view. The sole object isl to advance
knowledge and dilfusc 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 this patronage will be prompt
ly and cheerlully extended.
All communications in reference to the
periodical should be addressed, post paid,
to Professor IA. VAN HoEsEN, the Sec. of
the Lycepm, Natchez, Mi. The subscrip
ton price S., in all cases in advance.
The first number of this paper is dated
Dec. Is, 1887, and it will be continued SCI
mi-monthly from that date.

TN presenting this Prospectus before
III. the public, the publishers have only to
say, that the rapid growth Of the town
and improvement of the country in which
it is to be published, requires the ostab
lishment Of Press; and that their design
is to endeayor to make il subserve the
great objects for which public Journals
should be estabished-th diffusion of in
tel!igence and information among the per-
pie, and vehicle in which opinions and
sentiments may be freely Interchanged in
whatever relates to the morals, manners,
and political rights ofthe 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 como
in what shape or character, or from what
ever source they may.

Many have said that the late, as well as the
present administration, would not ansNer; most
o. whom have neither time nor inclination to in.
vesligate the truth Of this--being engaged in
hunting proof to show that they were right In
making the prediction
until the inventive powers of the human mind
shall contrise some way by which every aspirant
to'oilce can have the one he wants, opposition
may be expected. Union and education, ron
oered ehectlve by free press in America, have
enabled the people as nation, to not only crush
ioreign tyranny, but to support themselves a.
gaihst internal factions, not less inimical to their
peace ana prosperity. Union gave harmony to
ieehng; response to sentiments; and Sameness 10
action. Education gave the right direction to
inc combined energies, and taught the people to
know and value then rghts-the blessings of
popular government. The press was the con.
ductor by which an equilibrium was produced
and maintained through all the parts.
These being our views respecting the past,
the inquiry naturally psesents itself. How are
we TO trasmit to posterty, or even secure to our
selves, the rights and privileges we enioyl This,
we think, can be effected only by.contnuing in
general to pursue past policy, rejecting the new
and as we believe dangerous speculations of visi.
onary theories and political infidels.
inns paper will act in concert with the demo-

those who oppose it. This they will do fearless.
~, yet candidlyi expecting that libcrality and
candor they are willing to allow to others.
A primary object of the Planter is to furnish
TO inc friends and supporters of the present adj
hhnstratlon and others, paper in which they
can see rejected without dstarti0n or Inversion
the passing real scenes Of life; embracing the
most interesting topics Of the day.
with view to render the PLANTER worthy

TENHE success that has 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 as far as the publishers are able, adapted to
the wants and interests of the people
The detailed-tlie faithful history of the past,
as reflected by human nature, is the telescope
through which we purpose to view the future
therefor it is our intention, and will be our du-
ty-d nd as such, ouf 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, il and must be
derived from the past. The same or similar eau
SEES produce the same or smiler 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 a government of the
people, and those who wish government over
the people: government of the many, and
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 dsappoint-
ed and restless ambition; themost powerful agi-
tators, both of men and nations, were directed
against those who labored for its success. Wash
ingtons administration had oppositon-Jeffer
son was called knave and fool, and has admin
stration denounced as weak and worse than
weak: subversiye of liberty and the rights Of
man, By whom2 By those who were for go
vernment over the people, minority rule or dis
appointed ambitionists, who, like Catalina, 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 oppositionl
