Lexington union. (Lexington, Miss.) 1838-18??, 1842-01-22

r pursuance OF numerous solicitation,
OF p4Iucal and personal friends, rom
all parts ot the state, the subscribers have
determined to commence publication Of
a DEMOCRATIC newspaper. al the
seat Of Government, to be called tn
MISSISSIPPI STATE JOURNAL.
Il must be apparent to every ubseryant
politician, favorable to thesuCcess Of Dem
cratic principles, that the present crisis Is
progIIous Tor the reorganization Of the
Demo. party throughout the Sac, upon
sucl system as will render success cer>
tam, In all future contests with our oppon
enls.
The brilliant triumphs which have
crowned the struggles Of our party, al the
late elections, ia every quarter OF the Uu-
ion, and in none more conspIcuously than
IN Mississippi, induce the subscribers 10
believe, without any disparagemeot to the
respectable Democratic paper now in OPP |
ration here, that there is suIl room for an.
other. And they believe the present to
he an ausplclous period for the success OF
their enterprise arising as well from the
disastrous policy Of The Wing party, de-
yeloPed at the late Extra Session OF Con.
gress, as from another cause not less i'm
portant and much more immediateIy in
terssung 10 the people or Mississippi
we mean the Bond question. Win re-
gard to the latter, II will he su[li-iont at
present, to say that the people OF this State
have spoken IN a voice which cannot be
misunderstood, any recognition Of the
liability OF the State TO pay the Bonds is-
sued for the benefit of the Union Bank.
We regard this question as settled, by the
election Of MIR. Tucker, and large dem.
ocatic majority in both branches of the
Legislature in connection with the action
oftne two Houses upon the subject, which
will necessarily take place. The deIber-
aiions Of the Legislature, and the discuss
ioas which will ensue upon this mos, ex.
citing question, will be sought for with in.
tense interest and ayIdIty.
Having the advantage Of considerable
OF Congress, we Intend to give as IuiI re-.
ports as our limits would permit, OF The
soeeches of members and the entire actcn
of the next Legislature upon the Bond
question, as well as Others which may be
introduced. BY adopting the system Of
giving faithful reports during the session Of
the Legislature d by bold and uullntch,
ing advocacy and vlndlcatlon Of the great
principles OF the Democratic party, we
confidently expect to make the STATE
JOURNAL not only worthy the support
Of our party throughout the State, but
sought for and sustained by il. We thus
cast our banner to the breeze, determined
that if unriring zeal, industry and perse.
verance aided by such ability as we may
be able 10 give to our enterprise, deserve
TO be rewarded to rewarded with success,
we shall realize it. We throw ourselves
upon our political friends, throughout the
State for support but particular those of
the Northern and Eastern counties, through
whose kndnes and partiaIity, principally

OF Insufficient encouragement il re-
ceived TO warrant it, the paper will be
published tlcice a ,oeek during the session
OF the Legislature. The reports will prob.
ably be so voluminous as TO make this
course indispensaby necessary.
