PROSPECTUS
OF THE
PEARL RIVER BANNER.

| VIE undersigned propose to publish at the
! - town Of MONTICELLO, Mississippi, weekly
News Paper byt the above nanse. We ure we'll a.
ware that IN attempting to commence the publca
tIon o. paper al this time, that we will have 10
labor under serious disadvantages; but we feel
assured that we will be sustained by the people Of
the South Eastern part Of our State, as they are
wholly unsurplea with press in that section; we
aiudc to the counties south of Brandon aud Pual-
ding.
Its usual in prospectus to say something Of
the objects Of apaper, proposed to be polished,
and the principles upon which it is to be conduct
Ell. Our objeci--for we will speak out frankly;
IS first to make our paper source ofproft to our.
selves, and secondly while we advance our own in.
teres, make an honest effort to advance ,Lo inter-
est aud happiness of those who patronIze u.s.
We viii endeavor 70 make our paper profitable
and interesting to our patrons, by the discus.
sion and calculation Of those subjects, which will
be moss interesting aud useful to them. These
subjects we suppose to be those relating to the
great agricultural interest Of the counuy--The
sound moral principles Of the communicable
short, the intellectual improvement OF the great boz
dy of the people upon al subjects affecting their
happiness ard prosperity. Our political principles
are those entertained by Washington and Jetfcr.
the Constitution. We believe that all powers NOT
granted to the Federal Government, are reserved
10 the States to the People; and that all viola
tons Of the reserved rights of the States, is VII.
olat;on of thc Constitution and dangerous uso-
patton on the part Of the Federal Governments
The present situation of our country affords mel
ancholly example Of the consequences of the Ex-
ecutive throwing aside the Constitution and disre-
rarding all the checks and restraints which that
Constitution haa imposed on him, and acting with
no other restraint than his own will; and with
wrsrklcss determination to effect his own favoritc
schemes, though millions should sink from aflluence
o poverty in the general crush. In thar portion
II our paper devoted 10 politics, we have no pro
erencc foi mon, VIC go for princplcs--not men,
VIZ GO FOR LrBrnrY AND TirK CONSTITUTION.
