u tHE great contest is over. The people have de-
Il cided by great majority almost unprecedented
In the history OF country that they will have
change of men and change of measures. Emerg-
ing as we from the depth of that gloom into
which unwise and corrupt have thrown u.s. 1t be-
comes US to proceed cautiously and surely in the steps
winch we snail take towards our return to the prin-
ciples essential to our prosperity and greatness
From the indications which the recent elections have
given US, doubt that q thorough reform in
the federal government, throughout all its -lmihcs-
lions, Will take place. and to such reform the South
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 Harrison's 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 elec-
tho Of General Harrison to the Presidency will be
of little advantage to if the who have pros
traed state credit abroad and rendered state
government an object of ridlcule and contempt at
home, are suffered to continue to mismanageit.
Earnestly impressed with these opinions we shall
devote our energies, an 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 j.
quotation of the former. AS an auxiliary to this
great work of public REFORM we shall devote large
portion of our paper to subjects connected more i'm
medatelY with the private interests of the planters,
who constitute the great mass of the people OF the
State. The state Of the cotton market, the incidents
which may effect it, the improvements in its cultiva
ton, will receive large share of attention. and
in Connection with the subject, we shall devoted
reasonable space to those matters ofdomestc econ
omy which have been too much neglected in Mississip
pa.
In the indispensable duty of examining the conduct
of public en-, shall avoid the abusive zone which
has of late so much disfg the public press. Diff
ference Of opinion does not constitute crime in our
eyes, nor shall we treat it as such. We will endeav-
to discuss principles fully freely and fairly. and
conquer adversaries with the sword of truth,
the only weap pom 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 belong to party which requires fasehood to
suppsrt it, and we will dissolve all political
connection with that to which are now attached,
than missate or missrepresent facts to sustain it.
With this fain, outline of intentions, we sub
nit our proposals to the subic in the hope that they
will meetits APPRECIATION and with determination to
do ell in our power to merit 1t.
The first number viii be issued on or before the first
of January next The price will be FIVE DOLLARS
a yea. PAYABLE II ADVANCE. Persons holding SUBJ
scription lists viii please forward the names before
! the paper is issued.
