rk<HE great contest is over. The people have de-
| II cided by great majority almost unprecedented
in the history of our 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 have thrown US, 1t be-
us to proceed cautiously and surely in the steps
WHICH we snail take towards our return to the prin-
ciples essential to 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 ramitica
tions will take place, and to such reformthe South
ron will yield hear support. But in mississippi
there other and important interests to be
tended to than the of the federal government
or the prospects of General Harrison's SUCCESSOR
Great and manifold are the evils which have been
inflicted upon 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
ito Of General Harrison to the Presidency will be
OF little advantage to if the who have pros
tated our state credit abroad and rendered
government an object of ridlcule and contempt at
home, are suffered to cehtinue to mismanagei it.
Earnestly impressed with these opinions, we shall
devote our energies, in 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 APPLYING the latter to the il.
quldatlon OF the former. As an auxiliary to Chis
great work of public reform. we shall devote a large
portion of paper to subjects connected more i'm
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 cultiva-
tion will receive large share of our attention. and
IN Connection with the same subject we shall devoted
reasonable space to those matters ofdomestic econ
omy which have been too much neglected in Mssissip-
pi
In the indispensable duty of examining the conduct
OF public en-, we shall avoid the abusive one which
has OF late 50 muchdsfg ured the public press Diff
ference OF opinion does not constitute crime in our
eyes, nor shall we treat il such. We will endeav-
or to discuss principles fully freely and fairly, and
conquer our adversaries with the sword of TRUTH
the only weapon which the freeman is authorized to
use In his contests with his countrymen. Facts will
be stated candidly and impartially. We have de-
sire to belong to party which requires fasehood to
support IT. and will sooner dissolve all political
connection with that TO which we are now attached
than mlSstate missrepreseut facts to sustain it.
With tins fainl outline of our intentions, we SUBJ
NIT proposals to the subc 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 on or before the first
of January next The price will be FIVE DOLLARS
a yea. PAYABLE IN ADVANCE. Persons holding SUBJ
scrption lists will please forward the names before
the paper Is issued.
