- CHE great contest is The people have de-
L. cided by great majority almost unprecedented
in the history OF country that they VIII nave
change of men and change OF measures. Emerg-
ing as We from the depth OF that gloom INTO
which unwse and corrupt men have thrown US, IL DE-
comes proceed cautiously and surely IN the steps
winch we snail take towards return to the pr1n-
ciples essential to our prosperity and greatness
From the indications which the recent elections nave
given u.s. we cannot doubt that thorough reform IN
the federal government, throughout all It's ralhca
tions will take place. and to such reform the Oouth
will yield hear support. but IN MISSISSIPPI
there are other and important interests TO De
tended to than the course of the federal government
or the prospects of General Harrison's successor
Great and manifold the evils winch nave Deeh
inflicted upon by the measures OF Mr. van buren,,
we have suffered YET more severely by the course
which his friends andsupporters, while In the control
of our state government, have pursued. The cleo
ton Of General Harrison to the Presidency VIII De
of little advantage to us, if the men VINO nave pros
raed our state credit abroad and rendered our state
government object of rd1cule 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 OF the
situation of the State its liabilities and its resources
and the best of applying the latter to the u
ouidation of the former. AS an auxiliary to this
portion of paper to subjects connected more i'm
nediatey 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 cutlva
ton, will receive large share of attention, and
in Connection with The subject, shall devoted
reasonable space to those matters of domestic econ
omy which have been too much neglected in Mississp
pi.
In the indispensable duty of examining the conduct
of public en- we shall avoid the abusive which
has of late much disig ured the public press. Diff
ference of opinion does not constitute crime In our
eyes, nor shall treat it 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 candidy and impartially. We have no de-
sire to belong to party which requires alsehood to
support it, and we will dissolve all political
with that t0 which attached,
than misstate missrepresent facts to sustain it.
With this faint outline of our intentions, we SUBJ
nit proposals to the subc in the hope that they
will meetts appreciation and with determination to
do all in our power to merit it.
