PROSPECTUS
FOR THE THIRD VOLUME OF THE
GGBGRI ~ ADVOCATE
j. j. Graves & J. M. Smiley, Ed;tors


: Notwithstanding the unparalleled nreO.
sure, which for the last twelve months. has
cramped and trammelled every depart
ment OF the Mechanical, Agricultural and
commercial community, the unwearied
and interchangeable energies of American
enterprise, are once more giving evidence
Of hlg her and fairer prospect before u.s.
That qulescent attribute, which, for time ,
seemed to mark and designate our down.
ward proclivity to careessness and indif.
terence, has fortunately awakened from
Its sluggish apathy; and partially disin-
thralled from the fatal influence of too
bind credullty in the infallibility of
those whom we have elevated above us.
may we not still indulge the hope. that
there is yet held in reserve. a bappv re-.
suit IN the experiment of this last and
once purest of Republics?
.lnstlgated, in part, by that grand revol-
utlon which has already commenced, and
which is still going on in the opinion Of
the people, so far as respects the political
relations existing between the respective
States and the Federal Government the
present Proprietor is about to embark in
lhe publication of the Liberty Advocate.
Two years ago, this journal dated its
origin, at period when, in this County,
II !. hda many difficulties to encounter, and
IN, Inc strongest opposition TO contend with.
Inc enduring, and, as we conceive, ortho
dox principles, which have nurtured and
sustained the journal through "good and
evil report" had then in their in
lahcy, but mere minority which sustained
J" but, the resistless march of human
reason, before whose advance all obsta.
'ies must ultimately recede, has brought
about brighter and fairer dawn; and
ne philanthropist and the patriot can
low look IN prospective upon the re-
'lslt OF those purer days, which once
'olnied to the destiny of our much be.
owed country.
Inc political creed of the Advocate will
% the same which it has heretofore ad-
coated. State Rights and State Sover-
'gnty, will be the arterial action which
hall give life and animation to its politi
Il character.-But, while exercising a to-
1city for those principles which will new
yield to caprice, the columns ofthis Jour-
Il will, at all times, be open to liberal
scussion, and offered as ready channel
the tide of passing events, and an ac-
ptable organ Of general science and USE
knowledge.
We cordially invite the patronage ofalI
ose who concur with us in sentiment, as
III as the magnanimity ofthose who dis
ltfrom US 10 politics, Incorporate in sus-
ming the press. The Advocate will in
uro appear, underline Editorial supervi-

The extensive and growing interest {
r the South West, its moral and social i'm
provement, and its increasing literary an
scientific demands, have awakened atten
ton to the fact that in this highly impor
tant portion of our country there is n
journal or paper so exclusively devoted t,
literature and science, advocating the doc
trines of no party.
Feeling the necessity of such paper
the Jefferson College and Washington Ly
ceum have commenced the publication Of
a periodical entitled "THE SOUTH. Es.
TERN JOURNAL" to be devoted to litera-
ture and science, and all subjects interest
ing TO the general reader.
1t is published sem-monthly, in the CT
| ty OF Natchez, and contains sixteen sma all
qnarto 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.
Pecunlary emolument constitutes no part
OF the object Of this duplication. 1t is not
intended to benefit any individual or the
Lyceum IN pecuniary point of view.
The sole object is to advance knowledge
and dlffuse taste for the refined enioy-
ments OF literature and science.
Nothing is now wanting to the accom-.
pllshment of the wishes Of the Lyceum
but the patronage of the community: and
1t is expected that this patronage will be
promptly and cheerfully extended.
All communications in reference to the
periodical should be addressed, post paid,
TO Professor J. A. VAN HoEssEN, the Sec
rotary Of the Lyceum, Natchez, Mississip.
ol. The subscription price SIS 90, in all
;GSes in Gdvance.
The first number Of this paper is dated
december Is, 1887, and it will be contin.
led semi-monthly from that date.

SParring in the Senate.-We publish, in an
other column, from the Dstrot Free Press. the re.
port of debate had in the Senate, on the Goth
ult., on preliminary question, in relation to the
proposed Investigation of rail rold locations
1t would seem from this report, that Mr.. Barry.
from this county, moved some amendment to u
pending resolution. Mr.. Bradford, in the pleni.
tude of his wisdom, compared the amendment to
hors,'s head, proposed to be put on ,he shoul-
ders of man. Mr.. Barry, without noticing the
intended insult, spoke at length to the pending
question, and, whom he had concluded his speech,
told his colleague over the way, (Mr. Bradford.)
in a quotation from the classics, that though he
might himself think his comparisons altogether
perfect, and without blemish, yet others, in this
respect, might be of different opinion, and that
at all events, great men had lived before thoss
times-implying, as we understand, that Mr.
Bradford might be mistaken in relation to his
own consequences.

To the Electors of 81 Josenb Counfu


Fellow CITIZENS Il feel it my privi-
lege, a; all times, 10 communicate with you.
On the present occasion, my privilege be.

myself and you. have, this moment, re.
ceived the proceedings of large and res.
pectable public meeting, held at Cenlreville,
in your county, on the 18th inst, published
in the Constantine Republican. By that
meeting, think neither my motives or my
conduct have been properly understood or
represented. In the eleventh and twelfth
resolutions there adopted, find charges
preferred against me, "of being foremos,
in opposition to the present location of
the southern railroad-of opposing the best
interests Of two-thirds of my constituents"
and an insinuaton "of my hostility to the
present system of internal improvement and
the southern railroad" Now, deny one
and all of these charges, and complain OF
them as hasty, msjudged, and unsustained
by single circumstance in my past con.
duct, as one of your representatives,. ap.
peal to facts-facts spread upon the journal
Of the Senate, and am satisfied that they
shall speak for me. ! will briefly state
those facts.
The House Of Representatives, by a vote
Of more than three 10 one, passed and
sent up for concurrence TO the Senate, a re-
solution suspcnding proceedings on the
southern railroad until the legislature should
further direct. Voting with the majority
in favor of this resolution, found ten out
oftwelve representatives fthe people, from
the counties which compose my district, and
the members from the whole southern tier
of counties united, with the exception OF one

ing fifteen counties, organized and unor-
ganized, which have the honor 10 repre-
sent. The preamble TO the resolution and
the journals Of the House of Representatives
also, exhibited to me the fact, that the ESQ.,
luton was based upon respect TO the prayer
of five thousand petitioners, very large
proportion of whom were from my own
district. ! did not then believe that fraud
and treachery were intended by the House
of Representatives, in adopting suspension
Of proceedings for the avowed purpose Of
Investigating into public evils and abuses
as charged by the five thousand petitioners
before them. cannot now believe, in the
face Of the solemn n'edge since given by
