vktHE 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 a change of measures. Emerg-
ing now are from the depth OF that glnom into
which unwise and corrupt men have thrown US, 1T be-
comes to proceed cautiously and surely in the steps
which shall take towards our return to the prin-
cipes essential to our prosperity and greatness
From the indications which the recent elections have
given u.s. we cannot doubt that thorough reform in
the federal government, throughout all Its ramlhca-
tons, will take place, and to such reform the South
ron will yield hearty support. But In Mississippi
there other and important interests to be at
tended to than the of the federal government
or the prospects of General Harrisons 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 to the Presidency will be
OF little advantage to if the men who have pros
rated state credit abroad and rendered state
government an object of rid1eule and contempt at
home, are suffered to continue to mismanage it.
Earnestly impressed with these opinions, we shall
devote our energies, in an especial manner, to the
correct information of the public the subject of the
situation of the State, its liabilities and its resources
and the best means of ap living the latter to the j.
quotation of the former. As auxiliary to This
great work OF public reforms we shall devote large
portion OF our paper to subjects connected more inn
medlaelY 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 cultva
tion will receive large share of our attention, and
i'll Connection with the subject, shall devoted
reasonable space to those matters ofdomeStc econ
omy which have been too much neglected In isssslp-
pi.
In the indispensable duty of examining the conduct
of public Zen, we shall avoid the abusive which
has of late much disfgured the public press Diff
ference of opinion does not constitute crime in our
eyes, shall we treat it such. We will endeav-
to discuss principles fully, freely and fairly, and
to conquer adversares 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 fasehood to
support it, and will sooner dissolve all political
with that to which we are attached,
than misstate missrepresent facts to sustain it.
With this faint outline of our intentions, sub
NIT proposals to the subic in the hope that they
will meetts appreciation, and with determination to
do all in our power to merit it.
The first number will be issued on or before the FIRST
of January next. The price will be FIVE DOLLARS
a yea, PAYABLE IN ADVANCE. Persons holding SUBJ
scription lists will please forward the before
he paper is issued.
