TsxHE great contest is over. The people have de-
IL cided by great majority almost
in the history OF our country, that they WIN nov
change of men and change OF measures. Eni:le
ing as we now are from the depth OF tnat gloon to
which unwise and corrupt have thrown u.s. II DE-
comes US to proceed cautiously and surely IN tne sePs
which we shall take towards our return 10 the Pfih
ciples essential to prosperity ana greatheSe.
From the indications which the recent elections have
oiven MS we cannot doubt that thorough reform IN
the federal government, throughout all It's ratnlhca
tons will take place, and to such reform the oot
ron will Weld hearty support But IN MISSISSIPPI
there are other and important interests 10 De at
tended TO than the course of the federal government
or te prospects of General Harrlson's successor
Great and manifold the evils which nave 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 us, if the men who have pros
trated state credit abroad and rendered
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
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 lie
quotation of the former. AS an auxiliary to this
r.
portion of our paper to subjects connected more i'm
medlatey 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 cultva-
ton, will receive large share Of our attention. and
i'll Connection with the subject, shall devoted
reasonable space to those matters ofdomestc econ
omy which have been too 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 so much disfg ured the public press. Diff
ference of opinion does not constitute crime in
eyes, nor shall we treat it such We will endeav-
or to discuss principles fully freely and fairly, and
t)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 impartialy. We have no de-
sire to belong party which requires fasehood to
support it, and will dissolve all political
connection with that to which now attached,
than misstate missrepresent facts to sustain it.
With this faint outline of our intentions, SUBJ
nit proposals to the subic in the hope that they
will meetts approbation and with determination to
do all in our power to merit it.
The first number will be issued or before the first
of January next. The price will be FIVE DOLLARS
yea, PAYABLE IN ADVANCE. Persons holding SUBJ
scription lists will please forward the names before
the paper is issued
