PROSPECTUS
OF
THE VICKSBURG SENTINEL.
By JAMES HAGAN,


Editor and Proprietor.
This paper has been in operation nearly two years
and half; and without the aid Of party patronage,
il has pressed its way to public favor.
Early foreseeing the desolating effects of bank
ing system on every species OF industry in the state
commercial, agricultural aud mechanical-the SEN
tinel waged unrclentng its injustice, oppres.
sion and tyranny. Its defects have been exposed.
It's sefshness and swindling denounced, and the
whole machinery by which it deranged commerce,
monopOized trade, and transferred the profits of Ia
bor to the pockets of few penniless speculators,
ave been demonstrated TO the satisfaction Of the
most casual observers In assuming this bold posi-
ioT the Sentinel has found tie monIed power of the
country welded by an organized hand OF swindeTs
I'D spectators, Virulently arrayed against IT. Con-
rolling as this band does, either directly indirect
W. large portion of the presses of the State, and
,tmulated they are by aVarice, and the most de.
grading passions of human nature, the var has been
carried on interneci0nem. But reaction has Just
commenced; tire, demonstration, and above all,
the workings OF the vicious system, have conspired
TO arouse the people to just sense of their danger
They have taken the alarm, and preparing 10
cooperate in every measure calculated to prostrae
The system Of swinding, by which the people Of the
State have been most shamefuly plundered for the
ast two years.
To extend the usefulness or the Sentinel, and to
increase the paying subscribers, this prospectus is
issued.
The politics of the Sentinel are State Rights, as
aid down in the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions
, '98 aud 99j and approving most cordially the
eading principles both Of The State and Federal adj
nistration, its energies will be streniously devoted
% the support of both. The bold stand taken by
Gov. MNutt against the Issue Of irredeemabIe pa
,er and his lucid exposition of the evils of bank
ng SYSTEM entitle him to the support Of all who pre-
the prosperity of the great mass of the people, to
ne Interests of few spectators and Bank mana
gers.
The policy of Mr. Van Buren,, in breaking up all
onneciion between the tanks and state, II believ4
4 will have the most salutaFy effect on the future
\, stinies of the United States, and particularly
ne Commercial, Agricultural, aud political nIer-
It's of the South. The entire exclusion of all bank
.aper from the fiscal operations OF government, will
is believed, be found absolutely necessary TO t.rml
nate those caamitOus fluctuations to which hsUuion
concerns have Deen blended with the private bust.
,ess of corporations and individuals.
Particular attention will be paid to the Foreign
md Domestic Markets; and whatever may effect the
interests of our Merchants and planters, will be
arefuIly collated and promptly laid before our read
ers The money markets. and the movements Of
rpi alis,s and statesmen abroad, which may either
fortunately or remotely effect the price OF our great
.taple will be carefully watched.
Literature and the news of the day Will receive
In norton OF editorial attention.
The sentinel will as heretofore be published daily
and weckIy-the former at Sl2, and the latter at
SIS per annum in GdoGncC.
Being excluded ffom The pale Of bank accommo-
iations, our expenses being high and all cash, we
are constrained to require all subscriptions TO be paid
IN advance We risk the ransmissions BY mail.
