,IuE Great contests over. The peo-
10 have decided, by a majority al.
pnorecedented in the history of our
,sy that they will have a change of
"" and n change of measures. Emer-
,,s we now are from the depth Of that
j, INTO which unwise and corrupt men
y, thrown us, it becomes us to proceed
.,rslv and surely in the steps which we
",.ke towards our return to the prin-
y. essential TO our prosperity and
.osss From the indications which
~cent elections have given us, we can
onbt that a thorough reform in the
i.,,l Government, throughout all its
gg6cations viii take place, and TO such
.torm The Southron will yield a hearty
.aort. But in Mississippi there are
~, and more important interests to be
.,,isjto, than the course ofthe Federal
c,,srnent, or the prospects of General
fi,,r,ops successor. Greet and mani
t il, the evils which have been in
rrsi upon us, by the measures Of Mr.,
4, Buren,. we have suffered yet more
-.,elv by the course which his friends
4. importers, while in the control ofour
M government, have pursued.-The
eti0n of General Harrison to the Pres.
|.,rv will be Of little advantage to Us, il
men who have FRUSTRATED our State
lpiit abroad and rendered our State gov
|rnent an object ofridicule and contemp
home, are suffered TO mismanage It.
Earnestly impressed with these opinions
shall devote our energies, in an espe
manner, TO correct information Of The

subjects connected more immediatel

rukat, the incidents which may affect il
be Improvements in its cultivation, wi
receive a large share Of our attention, an
connection with the same subject, W
hall devote q reasonable space 10 thos
matters Of domestic economy, which hav
been TOO much neglected in Mississippi.
ID the Indispensable duty of examinin
bic conduct Of public men, we shall avoi
.be abusive tone which has oflate SO muc

I've will endeavor to discuss principle
|lny, freely and fairly. and to conquer on
lgerslrios with the sword of truth, IN
Qly weapon which the freeman is author
lied to use in his contests with his couT

and impartially. We have no desire
belong to a party which requires falsehOC
