r1tHE 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 now are from the depth of that gloom into
which unwise and corrupt men have thrown US, 1t be-
comes proceed cautiously and surely in the steps
which snail take towards return to the pr1n-
cipes essential to our 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 ramifca-
tons, will take place. and to such reform the South
will yield hearty support. But IN Mississippi
there other and important interests to be at
tended than the course of the federal government
or the prospects of General Harrisons successor
Great and manifold 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 conro
of our state government, have pursued The cleo
ton Of General Harrison the Presidency will be
of little advantage to If the men who have pros
trated credit abroad and rendered our state
government an object of rid1cule and contempt at
home are suffered to continue to mismanage it.
Earnestly impressed with these opinions, we shall
devote our energies in an especial manner, to the
correct information of the public the subject OF the
situation of the State its liabilities and its
and the best of applying the latter to the r
quotation of the former. As auxiliary to TINS
great work of public reform, shall devote large
portion of paper to subjects connected more Inn
medately 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 our attention. and
III Connection with the subject, shall devoted
reasonable space to those matters ofdomestc econ
omy which have been much neglected in Mississip
| pi.
In the indispensable duty of examining the conduct
of public men, 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-
to discuss principles fully, freely and fairly, and
ID conquer adversaries 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 candidly and impartially We have no de-
sire to belong party which requires falsehood to
support it, and we will sooner dissolve all political
connection with that to which we are now attached
than misstate missrepresent facts to sustain it.
With this faint outline of intentions, SUBJ
NIT proposals the sublc 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 ADVANCE. Persons holding SUBJ
scription lists will please forward the names before
the paper is issued.
