lions among the nations o. Europe which have follow
ed each other in such quick succession and of which
the end is not yet, the leading periodicals. of Great

Prospectus of the Monroe Democrat"

To the fortunes of this Journal, which has just pass
ed into hands, we are fairly committed and we
are determined devote it best efforts and
erges This method selected to appeal to friends
political and persona-for their active cooperation
in behalf OF this paper and ourselves, and particularly
at this juncture. Owing to cause or other the
Monroe Democrat has ceased, of late occupy tina
high position to which 1T formerly aspred and attain
ed. Without blaming any for it, it is our business
to know and feel the fact, and to resolve if in the
power of energy and exertion-to elevate il to that
eminence to which it is entitled. To the high rank
it seeks to attain, it holds title whether we make it
good not, from number of considerations In the
first and main place. it is the only democratic paper
the largest town of North Mississippi Not a small
item IN its favor, is, that it is and will be devoted un
cOmproasingly and ealousy to the defence o. State
Rights and State Institutions Impelled by that de-
voon, it will say this State, "rom now henceiortb
and forever adopt ard out both as pocu and prin
cple, the motto of 'Home Reliance, Home Production
and Home Independence" Under any circumstances
whether of Federal usurpation Northern aggression
or the uke-warmness of contiguous States, let Mis-
slsslppl SelES1y and with sworn determination carry
out this, the true principle which her very Hfe-bood
depends While she will adopt this system as prin-
cpe, it will have the incidental effect OF protectinp
her n0w, and forever hereafter against abolition as
saults and treesoil strategy Whatever may be her
fae-whether to remain in this Union or unite with
one or more sister States, north SOUTH east or west
as tar as her powers remain undeegated let sublime
se.fShness be her national watch-word. Whether in
the company of foes friends or alone politically let
her sleep more!
:" 1t any provide not for his ocn and especially for
those of his house he has denied the faith and is
worse than in6dei" The union is our so,on - and
dear and glorious is what can be more dear and
glorious than the friends and resides of our oacn house
mississippi!
The Democrat, with all the ability it can enlist to
the task will advocate the claims of the great bile
and Ohio Railroad. All the other various interests of
the community, agricultural, commercial, mechanical
manufacturing, with and miscellaneous matters
generally, will always occupy place in our columns
AS number of elections will take place this year and
many vexed subject for political discussion will arise
in which the whole community is concerned the Dem
ocrat, means of keeping pace with the times, is

Barnabas Bates and company, Of this city, in re-

siTrehend that Mr.. Bates and his little party have
made a fatal mistake in their plans. There is
always 10 be found a LOT Of lite fellows, and enter
prispg oafers upon the press ready to take hold of

stand what they are doing, so that something can
be made out Of Il. We regret TO say that this
school Of newspaper loassrs Is Increasing, and A;s
very apt to interfere where their services are ca:u

for the mere local purposes Of the reformers. II

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES AT WARRINGTON :

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES AT WARRINGTON -
Gen. Sam Houston, we observe, has assumed .
prominent position among the presidential candidates
at Washington, having taken for the winters cam
paign, suite Of splendid apartments at Browns
new hotel and there ia doubt he will exhibit
his hospitality in broad and liberal margin till the
meeting of the Baltimore Convention. Judge
Douglas cuts a still larger figure, having pur-
chased big house, in view of the necessary accom-
modations for the reception Of his friends. Mr..
Buchanan and Secretary Marcy, Gen. Batler and
Gen. Wool ought to do the same thing-either buy
or rent entire house, till May next-for nothing
short of liberal supply of wine and oysters will
keep candidate in caste among the wire workers
and leafers at Washington. President Fillmore
and Secretary Webster are provided agains. these
necessities. Gen. Scott is also expected to be pre-
pared to extend the circle of his private acQuiint
ance. Gen. Csss will be compelled to follow the
fashion-keep open house-and make more liberal
drafts upon his bankers than heretofore. The ap
preaching campaign, In this light presents spen-
did opening for the firm of Corcoran and Riggs. BY
good loans to all the Presidential candidates, they
can provide ample securities for anything in the
way Of Mexican and Florida claims and by an oc-
casionsl gratuity in broken doses, to charch or
benevolent society, they can get to the wind ward
Of the devil, and lay up sinking fund for kingdom
come. Happy are they who can make money out
Of the Presidency, while paving the way to the
New jerusalem. Verify, the good time is coming.
The Lord be praised.
