- 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 from the depth of that gloom into
which unwse and corrupt men have thrown US, 1t be-
to proceed cautiously and surely IN the steps
which shall take towards return to the prin-
ciples 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 ramifica
tlOnS will take place, and to such reform the South
ron will yield hear support. But in Mississippi
there other and important interests to be at
tended to than the course of the federal government,
or the prospects of General HarrisOn's successor
Great and manifold the evils which have been
inflicted upon 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 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 rid1cule and contempt at
home, are suffered to continue to mismanageit
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 means of applying the latter to the De
quotation of the former. As an auxiliary to this
portion of our paper to subjects connected more i'm
medateIY 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 receivea large share of our attention, and
Connection with the subj ct, shall devoted
reasonable space to those matters ofdomestic
omy which have been too much neglected in Mississp
pi.
In the indispensable duty of examining the conduct
of public en- shall avoid the abusive lone which
has of late so 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
conquer our 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 candidy and impartially. We have de-
sire to belong to party which requires falsehOOd to
support it, and viii sooner dissolve all political
with that to which we are now attached,
han mlsstate or missrepresent facts to sustain it.
With tins taint outline of our intentions, we SUBJ
mt our proposals to the subtle, in the hope that they
Will meetlts apprObation and with determination to
10 all in our power to merit it.
The first number will be issued on or before the first
II January next. The price will be FIVE DOLLARS
yea. PAYABLE IN ADVANCE. Persons holding sub
crlpton lists viii please forward the names before
he paper is issued.
