that Gen. Harrison has ever been Jeflerso-
Republican. lflhis had been the fact is it not
lie strange, to say the least, that MIR Jefferson

SPIRIT OF SEW ENTY.SIX.

THE lively interest which pereades the
= whole country on the subject Of politics,
and the increasing Importance of true Repub-
ifcan Principles, have induced the undersigned
to offer to their fellow citizens of the County
of Pike, and other portions oft state, a week
ly Journal, to be devoted to the exposition and
PRONUNCIATION of the principles that distinguish
the present Wig party of our country.
TIE fearful strides made, and attempted to
be made by the present National Akministra-
ton, towards strong Central Government a,
Washington, admonishes every true lover OF
his country, OF the danger to be apprehend-
ed in the reelection of Martin Van Buren, to
the presidency, and of the necessity of cores
bonding cxertion to recover and sustain the
purity of our American Institutions.

THE WH1G REPUBLICAN.

YNHE undersigned. impressed with the grow
- ing Importance of Lexington, and the va
agricultural and commercial wealth of Holmes
county, which every year but enhances in ir
portance, has commenced the publication Of
Il weekly journal, bearing the above title, in
the town of Lexington. He will offer TO the
public, every week, large and well-flled
sheet, printed on small type and good paper.
1t will be devoted to Agriculture, Science, the
Arts Commerce, and the politics of the day.
The Utmost attention will be paid to the col
lectiohof all valuable intelligence on these
various subjects, as we'll as all others pertain
ing to a weekly newspaper, and an assiduous.
steady and faithful support given to the cleo
ton of William Henry Harrison and John Ty-
Ter, for the two highest offices within the gift
of the people of this country. Believing that
they are old and well-tried Republicans of the
school of Washington, and if elected, will ad
minlsterthe government upon the economical
scale of the Republicans of that day, the
designed will yield nothing that is honorable
in his advocacy of their elections-and believ-
ing that MIR. Van Buren, does not possess any
of these qualifications, he will turn all the pow
er of his feeble mind to defeat the reelection
of man, who, instead of administering the
Government economically, has squandered the
public money in wssteful and needless extrav-
agance5, Tor regal and court-llke splendors in
and abuut the peoples house, and who, dis
regarding the doctrines such as should charac-
terise Republican Democrat, has avow ed
tenets the most dangerous to the safety aid
we'll being ofthe Republic, and which, II car
ried further, will end in the reconciliation of
an poweri n the hands Of one man. Whilst
ne will be courteous to friends and foes, as long
as ne is editor of this Journal he will fearless,
ly and boldly proclaim his opinions Upon al
subjects legitimately within the scope of his
duty.

BRIrIsm MANAGEMENT OF STEAM VESSEL.

BRITIsH MANAGEMENT OF A STEAM VESSEL.
Extract of letter from Philadelphia in
England TO Mr.. Biddie, in reference to the
Philadelphia steam navigation project.
These Englishmen systematise things well
on board the steamer, and this branch of the
business deserves our imitation, particularly
SO far as the engineering department is con-
cerned. In seamanship, or tire internal ar
rangements of packet, / do not remark that
they have any thing to teach us. On board the
Royal William the engineer has exclusive
charge and all the responsibility of his depart
ment. He keeps regtlar log of the working
Of the engines-detailHg the quahtity Of fuel
consumed, the number Of revolutions pei mi
hute, the gage of The steam kept up, and adds
such remarks as may arise. He resorts to
the quarter deck every four hours--and makes
a written extract from his log every "a hours.
which is transcribed into journal kept excld-
sively for that purpose. The master never In
terferes except to direct the stopping of the
engines, if necessary, and set them going
az ain. If he wishes the quantity OF the steam
increased, he Communicates with the engI-
neer, who acts at his discretion in the matter.

Prospectus

nF the crescent CITY, The SUD
scrbers propose, on the first of October
to commence the publication of daily news
paper, in New Orleans, bearing the above til
tie. The reasons for this cohrse afe numerous
aid sufficient, but need not here be stated.
In answer to an inquiry, what Will be the
character of the proposed publication! The
| proprletors answer-that in relation to parti-
San questions, religious or polltical it takes no
part whatever. Facts liz relation to these, as
well as other subjects will be occasionally sta
ted, but only as matter of history, or passing
remark. without taking sides for one party or
another. The editors are items, and in COM
mon with other freemen, will vote for Wings
or Vantes-we suspect the former mostly
just as they please but their paper will be
neither one nor the other. IT will, however,
to the utmost of its ability, sustain the public
credit; by which we mean the credit of the
United States, our own State, and public insti
buttons, nor less that of individuals, our own
included.
Passing events, domestic and foreign, will
be carefully chronicled, and placed before our
| readers in as brief and comprehensive a man
ner as possible. All important transactions
occurring in the city, of whatever character.
will receive from US due notice, and sometimes
events not very important, may be rendered
| more so 10y our notices, The procecdinfs OF
public bodies. whether incorporated or not
will be observed, and full often become the
subjects of remark. The variuus amusement,
of our city, of whatever name, will be subject,
upon which we propose freely but literally tc
comment.
Commercial and business information vii
form special item of the daily content. o
our sheet. At least once week we pronos,
to give brief but full view of the state of III,
market. Arrivals of ships and steamboat,
will be noticed. and facts learned by them b,
speedily communicated to the public.
AS ours is at once mercantile and Famil,
paper, nothing of a bitter or angry character
nothing indicate or of immortal tendency
will De permitted to stain our pages. Instea,
Of these, it will be our aim to cater for tn,
taste of the pure, refined and virtuous: and es
pecialiy to render our columns agreeable and
instructive to the young and to families. wher,
it is hoped our paper will be daily and niphtl,
read by the fair, as well as by the staid an,
worthy among the sterner sex. Let it not b.
supposed. however, that sprightliness, wit, .sal
lies of mirth and innocent gaiety are to form
no part of the contents of our journal. Tn
