II NHE great contest is over. The people nave de-
n cided by great majority almost unprecedented
In the history OF our country, that they Will nave
change of men and a change of measures. Emerg-
ing we now are from the depth of that gloom into
which unwise and corrupt men have thrown u.s. it be-
comes to proceed cautiously and surely in the steps
which we shall take towards return to the prin-
clples essential to our prosperity and greatness
From the indications which the recent elections have
given US, we cannot doubt that thorough reform in
the federal government throughout all its ramifca
tons, will take place. and to such reform the South
ron will yield hear 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 Harrison's successor
Great and manifold the evils which have been
inficted 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 us, if the men who have pros
trated our state credit abroad and rendered state
government an object of ridlcule and contempt at
home, suffered to continue to mismanageit
Earnestly impressed with these opinions, we shall
devote our energies, in especial manner, to the
correct information of the public the of the
situation of the State its liabilities and its resources,
and the best means of applying the latter to the j
quotation of the former. As an auxiliary to this
great work of public reform, shall devote a large
portion of our paper to subjects connected more i'm
medlately with the private interests of the planters,
who constitute the great of the people of the
State The state of the market the incidents
which may effect it, the improvements in its cultiva
ton, will receive large share of attention, and
III Connection with the subject, shall devoted
areasonable'space to those matters ofdomesc econ
omy which have been too much neglected in MISSISSIPPI
pi.
In the indispensable duty ofexamining the conduct
of public en- we shall avoid the abusive which
has of late much disfgu red the public press. Diff
ference OF opinion does not constitute crime in
eyes, nor shall we treat it such We will endeav-
or to discuss principles fully, freely and fairly, and
toconquer our 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 candidly and impartally. We have no de-
sire to belong to party which requires asehood to
support it, and will dissolve all political
connection with that to which we are attached
than misstae missrepresent facts to sustain it.
With this faint outline of our intentions, we SUBJ
NIT proposals to the sublic in the hope that they
will meetts appreciation, and with determination
do all in our power to merit it.
The first number will be issued on before the first
of January next. The price will be FIVE DOLLARS
yea. PAYABLE IN ADVANCE. Persons holding SUBJ
scrpton lists will please forward the names before
the paper is issued.
