VhSHE great contest is over. The people have de-,
Il cided by great majority almost unprecedented
in the history OF country, that they Will nave
change of men and change of measures. Emerg-
ing now from the depth OF that gloom lnto
which unwise and corrupt men have thrown us II oe
comes to proceed cautiously and surely III the
which shall take towards our return to the prn-
ciples essential to prosperity and greatness
From the indications which the recent eecnons nave
given us, cannot doubt that thorough reform IN
the federal government, throughout all It's ramhca-
tions, will take place. and to such reform the oouth
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 are the evils which have been
inflicted upon us by the measures of Mr.. Van Buren,
we have suffered yet 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 De
of little advantage to us, if the men who have pros
trated credit abroad and rendered our state
government object of ridlcule and contempt at
home, are suffered to continue to mismanage 1T.
Earnestly impressed with these opinions, we shall
devote energies, in especial manner, to the
correct information of the public the subject OF the
situation of the State its liabilities and It's resources,
and the best of applying the latter to the lie
quidatiOn of the former As auxiliary to this
great work of public reform, we shall devote large
portion OF our paper to subjects connected more I'M
mediatey 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 cutiva-
tion will receive large share of attention, and
in eonection with the subject, shall devoted
reasonable space to those matters ofdomestic
omy which have been too much neglected in Missssp-
pi.
In the indispensable duty of examining the conduct
of public men, shall avoid the abusive tone which
has of late much disfgur the public press Diff
ference of opinion does not constitute crime in
eyes, nor shall treat it SUCH We will endeav-
to discuss principles fully, freely and fairly, and
t) conquer adversares 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 sooner dissolve all political
connection with that to which we are now attached
than misstate missrepreseut facts to sustain it.
With this faint outline of our intentions, we SUBJ
nit our proposals to the subtle, 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 before the first
OF January next. The price will be FIVE DOLLARS
a yea, PAYABLE IN ADVANCE. Persons holding sub
scripton lists will please forward the names before
the paper is issued
