THE YAZO0 WING has now reached its |
SIXTH VOLUME, and we have the pleasure
Of presenting to our patrons and the public
the first number of that volume.
We return our most unaffected acknowl-
edgements to our friends and our patrons
for the many favors they have shewn US and
the pay they have awarded for the labor we
have performed. If we have deserved them
-well-we have tried to do so. If our
paper has been instrumental in the hands OF
the great Genius of Republican Liberty in
ministering to the civil or political health OF
the people, we are gratifed to the fullest
possible extent, and acknowledge with graft
tude that we have been over paid for every
exertion we ever made. What or hO1O much
we have done, we ask others TO Judge. We
present our open columns to testify for or
against us.
The blessings Of an indulgent Providence
and the good will of patriot people enables
us to propose a continuance of our paper.
Friends and felIow-citizens, take there it
is. We send it forth with the cheerful ex-
pectation that it is not an unwelcome mes
senger.
The 9th volume of the WIG will be i'm
proved in the following particulars
1st, An enlarged siSe.-In the course of
about two months or so we intend to enlarge
the paper considerably, so that it will be SUI
perior in size and appearance to most of the
weekly papers of the South, and second to
none.
I'd. Our Agricultural Departments
being no Agricultural paper in this section
Of the country, we have determined to set
apart large portion of ours exclusively to
those interests. We have made arrange
mehts to take all the Agricultural periodicals
of the South and West as well as all the
principle ones of the Union. From these
we shall make regular extracts of all such
matter as we think will interest the farmers
of this section of the country. We expect
also, liberal contributions of original articles
from practical agriculturalists, which we will
J hand out in every number to the commune
ty. By these means we believe we will be
enabled to make our paper a useful visitanl
at every farm house where it may be desired.
3rd. The earliest neaOs.-We have made
I and with our accommodating steamboat
Captains and Clerks, which will put us re-
gularly in receipt of the earliest intelligence
of all kinds. Any extraordinary occurrences
or intelligence we shall give to our subscri-
bers in Extras, and always in our weekly
! publications.
5 In PoLrTIcs we shall deal more sparingly
: than heretofore. There is now no necessity
for excited political contention. We shall
however, steadily maintain the great conser.
vative principles which we have heretofore
endeavored to support. We shall advocate
, NATIONAL BANK and BANKRUPT LAW un-
, til Congress acts favOrabIy upon both.
g In relation to our own STATE Policy, we
shall endeavor to bestow more labor and at
! tention. We shall oppose increasingly, with.
out compromise or condition, that mos
abominable of all political heresies which
h would PROSTATE this youthful giant of the
: South in endless dishonor and polution.-
We will acquisce in broken faith, per6d1
and dishonesty in the State when we advo
cate treachery, crime and immortality in in
dividuas. Nor shall we loose sight of the
great Commercial interests and advantage,
which belong peculiarly to Mississippi as
great exporting State, and in view of he
location. And we will endeavor always t,
foster and support that most valuable AM
laudable spirit that we see sprnging up il
the community, which gives decided prefer
ence to sObriety and morality in all publ
stations of honor profit.
To interest, to please, to edlfy and tt
profit, we shall direct our labors to that di
versity of subjects which will best suit tn
