PROSPECTUS DASH
FOR THE tll q.
South Western Journal.
A MAGAZINE OF
SCIENCE, LITERATURE AND MIS-.
CELLANY. 1ti faH A
PUBLISHED sEMI-MoNTHLY lf
By the Jefferson College and Washington
Lyceum. lsatI

The extensive and growing interest Of
the South West, its moral and social inn
provement, and its increasing literary and
scientific demands, have awakened atten-
tion 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
trine of no party.
Feeling the necessity of such'a paper,
the Jefferson College and Washington Ly-
ceum have commenced the publication Of
periodical entitled "TIIE SOUTH-WES-
TERN JOURNAL" to be devoted to lit
erature and science, and all subjects inter
esting to the general reader. ci e9ipo
1t is published semi-monthly, in the city
of Natchcz, and contains sixteen small
quarto pages, similar in form to the F.Pen.
nv Magazine, !" and is protected by good
envelope, so that it may be conveyed 10
any distance without injury. iu
1t will be remembered that we have no
work in the Southwest similar to this;
and every one who feels a pride in any en-
terprise calculated to enhance the social
and moral character ofour country, should
come forward and assist in this worthy
enterprise. 1aa
Pecuniary emoluments constitutes no
part of the object of this publication. II
is not intended to benefit any individual
or the Lyceum in a pecunary point Of
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-
plishment of the wishes of the Lyceum but
the patronage of the community; and it is
expected that this patronage will be prompt.

All communications in reference to the
periodical should be addressed, post paid,

dersigned proposes to the good people o
Carroll county, to publish one under the
above title, which shall meet their wants
Being opposed to the principles upon which
| the present Chief Magistrat. came into
power, and believing that his motto, "It
The rictors belong the Spells Of the ran
quished," is demoralizing and revolutiona.
ry-and that an elevation to that high sta
ton neither consecrates nor purifes prin-
ciplcs, the IntelIigencer will firmly oppose
the present administration SO long as il
receives its impression from the stamp Of
Modern Democracy, while at the same
time it will exert its influence in prostrat-
ing the corruptsystem of politics now prey
ing upon the vitals of our young Republic.
The political principles of the Intelligent
Ger shall be strictly those of JEFFERSON,
as set forth in the Virginia and Kentucky
Resolutions Of '9S and '99, and Madison's
celebrated Report. These shall be the
basis of our political creed. Believing that
the principle set forth by that apostle of
Liberty, Thomas Jefferson, viz:-"That
all popers not expressly delegated to the
general government by the consultation, are
reserred TO the states respectively, or to the
people" is the true one on which our Co
vernment is founded, and an adage univer-
sally received-and believing chat the
rights, remedies, and liberties of the States,
without the means ofpreserving them,are
mere phantoms, the Intelligencer will al
ways be found on the side of enlightened
kepublicanism, battling against the en-
croachments of Power, and the fearless
and.uncompromising opposer of every in
fringement on the liberties Of the States.
The rights, remedies, and Union of the
States shall be our beacon light to guide
us in the dark hour of political tempest
Every effort to bring into disrepute the
halowed PRINCIPLES Of Jefferson-every at
tenpt at a dissolution Of the Union, will
be firmly rsisted. 3
| Having thus explicitly stated the polit-
cal principles which viii guide and control
the lntdlgencer, the undersigned will
further assure It's patrons that its columns
will not hentirely devoted to politics, but
every efbtt will be made to render it a
useful ant interesting family newspaper.
