TkNHE great contest is The people have de-
Il cided by great maj ority almost unprecedented
in the history of country that they will have
change of men and change of measures. Emerg-
ing as we now from the depth of that gloom into
which unwise and corrupt men have thrown u.s. it be-
to proceed cautiously and surely in the steps
which we snail take towards our return to the prin-
ciple5 essential to prosperity and greatness
From the indications which the recent elections have
given US, cannot doubt that thorough reform in
the federal government, throughout all its ramlca-
tons, will take place. and to such reform the South
ron will yield hearty support. But in Mississippi
there are other and more important interests to be at
tended to than the of the federal government
or the prospects of General Harrison's SUCCESSOR
Great and manifold as the evils which have been
inflicted upon us 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
ton Of General Harrison to the Presidency will be
Of little advantage to US, if the men who have pros
trated state credit abroad and rendered state
government an object of ridicule 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.
quotation of the former. As auxiliary to this
great work of public reform, shall devote large
portion Ot our paper to subjects connected more
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 cultiva-
ton, will receive large share of attention. and
i'll Connection with the subject, shall devoted
unreasonable space to those matters ofdomesc econ
omy which have been too much neglected in Mississip
pi.
In the indispensable duty ofexamining the conduct
OF public men, we shall avoid the abusive lone which
has of late much disfgured the public press Diff
ference of opinion does not constitute crime in our
eyes, nor shall we treat it SUCH We will endeav-
or to discuss principles fully, freely and fairly, and
t)cOnquer our adversaries with the sword of TRUTH
the only weapon which the freeman is authorized to
use his contests with his countrymen. Facts will
be stated candidly and impartiay. We have no de-
sire to belong to party which requires fasehood to
suppsrt it, and will sooner dissolve all political
connection with that to which we attached,
than msstate or missrepresent facts to sustain it,
With this faint outline of our Intentions we sub
NIT proposals to the subtle, the hope that they
will meetis 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 |
yea. PAYABLE IN ADVANCE. Persons holding SUBJ |
scription lists will please forward the names before
the paper is issued
