ETH pursuance ofnumerOus solicitations
N Of political and personal friends, from
all parts oft State, the subscribers have
determined to commence a publication OF
a DEMOCRATIC newspaper. at the
seat of Government, to be called the
MISSISSIPPI STATE JOURNAL.
Ii must be apparent to every o6serVant
politician, favorable to the success of Dem.
cratic principles, that lhe present crisis is
propiious for the Reorganization of the
Demo. party throughout the State, upon
such asystem as will render success GER
tain, in all future contests with our oppon
ents.
The brilliant tFiumphs which have
crowned the struggles Of our party, at the
late elections, IN every quarter OF the Un-
ION, and in none more consplcuousIy than
IN Mississippi, induce the subscribers to
believe, without any dlsParage to the
respectable Democratic paper now in OPP
ration here, that there is still room for an
other. And they believe the present to
be an suspicious period for the success of
their enterprise arising as well from the
disastrous policy of the Wing party, de-
veIoped OF the late Extra Session of Con.
gress, as from another cause not less i'm
portant and much more Immediately in
terestng to the people Of Mississippi -
we mean the Bond question. With re-
gard to the latter, it will he sufficient at
present, to say that the people OF this State
have spoken IN voice which cannot be
misunderstood, any recognition Of the
liability OF the State 10 pay the Bonds is
sued for the benefit of the Union Bank.
We regard This question as settled, by the
election of Mr.. Tucker, and large dem
Ocatic majority in both branches of the
Legislature IN connection with the action
OF the two Houses upon the subject, which
will necessarily take place. The deIiber-
atoms OF the Legislature, and the discuss
ions which will ensue upon this most ex.
citing question, will be sought for with in
tense interest and avidiiy.

ports as our limits would permit, OF the

cast our banner TO the breeze, determined
