PROSPECTUS
CRESCENT CITY.

NNHE subscribers propose, on the trst
- Of October, to commence the publ
cation of daily newspaper, in New Or
leans, heading the above title. The rea-
sons for this course are numerous and
sufficient, but need not here be stated.
In answer to an inquiry, what will be
the character Of the proposed publica-
ton? The proprietors answer: that in
relation to partizan questions, religious
or political, it takes no part whatever
Facts in relation to these, as we'll as other
subjects, will be occasionally stated, but
only as matter of history, or passing re-
mark, without taking sides for one party
or another. The editors are citizens, and
in common with other freemen, will vote
for Wing or Vanites; we suspect the for
mer; just as they please: but their pa
per will be neither one nor the other
It will, however, TO the utmost OF its abb
iity, sustain the public credit, by which
we mean the credit, of the United States,
our own State, and public institutions,
nor less that ofindividuals our own in
cluded.
Passing events, domestic and foreign
will be carefully chronicled, and placed
before our readers in as brief and COM
prehensive manner as possible. All
important transaction occurring in the
city Of whatever character, will receive
from US due notice: and sometimes events
not very important, may be rendered
more so by our notice. The proceed
ings of public bodies, whether incorpora-
ted or not, will be observed, and full oft.
en- become the subjects of remark. The
various amusements of our city, of what
ever name, will be subject upon which
we propose freely, but literally to COM
ment.
Commercial and business information
will form special item Of the daily con-
tents of our sheet. At least once a week
we propose to give brief but full view
of the state of the market. Arrivals of
ships and steamboats, will be noticed, and
facts learned by them be speedily com
muHicated to the public.
AS ours is at once mercantile and
family paper, nothing ola bitter or angry
character; nothing indicate or Of immo-
raj tendency, will be permitted to stain
our pages. Instead of these, it will be
our aim to cater for the taste ofthe pure,
refined and virtuous and especially to
render our columns agreeable and In
structive to the young and to families,
where it is TO be hoped our paper will be
daily and nightly read by the fair, as
we'll as by the staid and worthy among
the sterner sex. Let it not be supposed,
however, that sprightliness, wit, and SAL
lies Of mirth and innocent gaiety are to
form no part of the contents of our Jour-
nal. The smile of intelligent and harm
less humor, and the effiorescence ofchas-
tened but Attic wit, and the pleasantries
Of social enjoyment, possess too many
charms to be refused admittance to our
hearts, and will consequently be ever
welcome TO our columns.
In short, we intend to render our little
sheet compendium Of all subjects con-
sistent with rigid purity Of morals, from
the soberest lessons of religion and phi
lOsOphy, to the gayest and most playful
sEsrts ef fancy and wit.

THE MAplsoNIAN.
MARGARET DAVIDSON

The following beautiful and touching lines wer'
written by Miss Margaret Davidson, Of Saratoga,
short time before her death After she had been In
formed that consultation Of physicians had pro
nounced her to be hopeless and that she coult
not live much longer, her mother one Gay sitting b,
her side took her trembling wasted hand and said q
her in low half stiaed voice, ooh Maggy shall
have another line penned by this dear hand 2
Yes dearest mother was the reply, Eyes, you shsl
have another; and, in day so, she handed to he
mother the following stanzas the last she ever wrote
oh mother! would the power were mine
To make the strains thou lov'st to hear.
And breathe each trembling new born thought,
Within thy fondly list ming ear,
As when in days of health and gee,
My hopes and fancies wander'd free
But mother now shade hath past
Athwart my brightest visions here;
cloud Of darkest gloom hath wrapt
The remnant of my brief career
No song--no echo can win
The sparkling fount hath dried withini
The torch Of earthly hope buns dim,
And fancy spreads her wing no more;
And oh how vain and trivial seem
The pleasures that Iprized before.
My soul with trembling steps and slow,
Is struggling on thro doubt and strife;
OH may !. prove as time rolls on,
The pathway to eternal life
Then when my cares and fears DER
Ill sing thee as in "days yore."
said that hope had pass'd from earth
Twas but TO fold her wings in heaven,
To whisper Of the souls new birth,
OF sinners saved and sins forgiven
When mine washd in tears away,
Then shall my spirit swell my lay
When God shall guide my soul above
With the soft cords of heavenly lore,
When the vain cares of earth depart,
And tuneful voices swell my heart
Then shall each word each note l raise,
Burst forth IN pealing hymns Of Praise,
And all-not offered at His shrine
Dear mother will place thine!
