I1vHE great contest is over. The people have de-
II cided by great majority almost unprecedented
in the history OF country, that they VIII nave
change of men and a change of measures Emerg-
ing we now from the depth OF that gloom INTO
which unwise and corrupt men have thrown us IL De-
comes to proceed cautiously and surely IN the steps
which we shall take towards our return 10 tne prl-
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 ram1hca-
tons, 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 course of the federal government
or the prospects of General Harrlsons 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 control
of our state government, have pursued The cleo
ton Of General Harrison to the Presidency Will be
of little advantage to if the men who have pros
trated our state credit abroad and rendered our 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 energies, in especial manner, to the
information of the public on the subject OF the
situation of the State its liabilities and its resources,
and the best of applying the latter to the lie
quidation of the former. As an auxiliary to this
great work of public reform, shall devote large
portion of paper to subjects connected more i'm
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-
tion will receive large share of our 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 Mississp
pi. sts- -s.r-.r
In the indispensable duty of examining the conduct
of public men, shall avoid the abusive tone which
has of late so much disfgured the public press. Diff
ference of opinion does not constitute crime in
eyes, 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 tc
use in his contests with his countrymen. Facts will
be stated candidly and impartially We have no de.
to belong to party which requires falsehood tC
support it, and will sooner dissolve all poEtica
connection with that to which are now attached
than misstate missrepresent facts to sustain it.
| With this faint outline of our intentions, we sub
NIT proposals to the subc in the hope that they
will meetits approbation and with determination
do all in our power to merit it.
/ The first number will be issued before the frs
of January next. The price will be FIVE DOLLARS
a yea, PAYABLE IN ADVANCE. Persons holding sub
scription lists will please forward the names befor
