PROSPECTUS OF
,E'ERe Macon Times.
And Noru5Jee General Adrcrtiser'

The subscriber proposes publishing in lhe
town of Macon, Noxubee county, MI,
weekly paper with the above title, to
be devoted to politics and general in
tclligence.
TKyLiE rapid influx Of emigration, increasing
business, growing wealth, and political
character Of NoSubee oonntY, seems TO demand
tlie establishment Of democratic press. The
result Of tho late elections prove the county to
be decidedly dehocratic in political faith, and
the impetus which the establishment of cores
ponding organ would lend TO The success OF the
party, as well rs to the general growth and
prosperity oftle town and county in which 1t is
located, all arc ready TO acknowledge.
The policy Of the great democratic party, as
maintained by Jefferson and exeBlplificd in the
administration Of Jackson, experience has proved
TO be the oaly course by which the United States
can hope to prosper and so long as the present
Chief Magistrate Of the nation shall prove true
to The principles Of those Apostles Of Democracy
ito the doctrines contained in his inaugural ad
dregs-.and TO The sentiments expressed IN all
other documents which have yet appeared bear
inc his signature, he shall receive our unqualih
cd support. The Wing party are now nakingn
mighty struggle to gain the ascendeucy, and a.
thoir destructive march are trying TO ride rough
shod over the heads Of government, regardless
the means they use 90 gain their unhallowed
ends. We shall ever be on the alert TO detect
and expose their covert designs, and shall oppose
tho new tangled doctrines Of the opposition in
every shaPoln winch they may make their ad
yances
We are opposed TO either a National or
Treasury Bank, and concur in the recommends.
ton of President Van Buren, in his Message TO
the called session of Congress, for separation OF
the government from all banking institutions
MISUNDERSTANDING that the collection, safe
keeping, and disbursement of the revenue can be
safely done in the constitutional currency thro'
government officers appointed for the purpose.
In short, VIC shall exert all our energies to add
vance the democratic cause, the peculiar tenets
Of which are too well known TO require repetl-
ton; it 10 opposed to every Infringement upon
equal rights-to partial legislation--to all cor.
porations, monopolies, and mopied institutions
allied TO the aristoeracy of wealth. IN opposition
to the democracy of numbers, and having in
their nature tendency to make the rich richer
and the poor poorer.
The contracted and narrownindcd policy
which looks with envy on the prosperity of every
thing beyond its immediate neighborhood we
cannot recognise Although Noxubee and the
new counties will receive our moro particular
attention, an eye will be had to the welfare of
the whole State.
Aside from politics, the TINES shall contain
such variety of local and foreign news, COM
mcroial and litery intelligence, humorous mis-
cellany, anecdotes, &c, as cannot fail TO make
il an interesting journal to all. Newspapers will
be received from every State in the Union, and
from all the principle ctics-which, with other
facilities for the earliest and best variety Of news,
viii enable us to lay before our subscribers one
Of the most valuable weekly sheets issued from
the southern press. Agriculture will receive par
tieular attention; the state of the Cotton mar
ket, and all items Of intelligence that may prove
acceptable TO the planter shall be diligently gath
cred for his use.
| Democrats of NoruJee; You are now called
upon TO come forward and lend helping hand
| TO the undertaking, and to test the sincerity of
your professions in something stronger than
words Although in a largo majority you have
us yet made but feeble effort to establish press
The mightiest acquisition to any eause-while
that of your opponents is toeming with and
sending abroad in every direction its base fabri-
cations, deceiyng and corrupNng the people
And will you stand coldly by without one effort
to eounteract its influence? Can You zee our re-
publican government sneered at, insulted, and its
institutions tramplcd upon, without the spirit to
resent Now 10 the time to establish Mississippi
in the grounds she has taken, and snake her per.
manently democratic State But this cannot
be done without exertion. Come forward then,
enc ana atl-lhd not only come yourselves, but
bring the names Of your friends along with you
to be enrolled among the list Of subscribers; and
as you prize the success of the holy cause in
which you are engaged, let the efforts which
YOU may now make to establish at your county
seat democratic press bear testimony With
these remarks on the necessity Of your prompt
support TO insure success, the publisher dsmlsses
tho subject, and rests for time to prove who are
and who are not the real friends Of democracy
and equal rights.
