IktHE great contest is over. The people have de-
Il cided by great majority almost unprecedented
in the history OF country, that they Will have
change of men and change of measures. Emerg-
ing as we now are from the depth of that gloom into
which unwise and corrupt men have thrown it be-
comes proceed cautiously and surely In the steps
which we snail take towards return to the prin-
ciples essential to prosperity and greatness
From the Indications which the elections have
given US, we cannot doubt that thorough reform in
the federal government, throughout all its ramifca-
ons will take place, and to such reform the South
ron will yield hearty support But in Mississippi
there are other and important interests to be at
tended to than the of the federal government
or the prospects of General Harrsons SUCCESSOR
Great and manifold the evils which have been
inflicted upon US by the measures of Mr.. Van Buren,,
we have suffered yet more severely by the course
which his friends and supporters, while in the control
OF our state government, have pursued The cleo
ton of General Harrison the Presidency will be
of little advantage to us, if the who have pros
trated state credit abroad and rendered
government an object of ridlcule and contempt at
home, are suffered to continue to mismanage it.
Earnestly impressed with these opinions, we shall
devote our energies, in especial manner, to the
correct information of the public the subject the
situation of the State its liabilities and its resources,
and the best means of applying the latter to the De
quotation Of the former. As an auxiliary to this
great work of public reform, shall devote large
portion Of paper to subjects connected more i'm
mediatey with the private interests of the planters
who constitute the great of the people of the
State The state of the cotton MARKET the incidents
which may effect it, the improvements in its cutiva-
ton, will receive large share of attention, and
in Connection with the subject shall devoted
reasonable space to those matters ofdomestic
omy which have been much neglected in MISSISSIPPI
pi.
In the indispensable duty of examining the conduct
of public men, we shall avoid the abusive lone which
has of late much disfgur the public press. Diff
ference of opinion does not constitute crime in
eyes, nor shall treat it such. We will endeav-
to discuss principles fully freely and fairly, and
t)conquer adversaries with the sword of truth,
the only weapon which the freeman is authorized to
in his contests with his countrymen. Facts will
be stated candidy and impartially. We have no de-
sire to belong to party which requires alsehood to
support it, and will dissolve all political
connection with that to which attached,
than misstate missrepresent facts to sustain it.
With this faint outline of intentions, we sub
nit proposals to the sublc in the hope that they
will meetits appreciation, and with determination to
do all in our power to merit it.
The first number will be issued before the first
of January next. The price will be FIVE DOLLARS
yea, PAYABLE ADVANCE. Persons holding sub
scription lists will please forward the before
the paper is issued.
