SOUTHERN STANDARD-We welcome to our ex-
change list, this neat and handsomely got up jour
nal-the first number of which has Just made its
appearance on our table. 1t is published by Chap
man and Smith, former propretors of the ''Mon-
roe Democrat 1t makes brilliant debut-and
we congratulate ourselves, that SO gallant and so
able a champion in the cause of State Rights has
entered the arena. There is a vigor and terce-
ness in its original matter-a soundness and clear
in its political views, that at once to u.s. re-
moves all doubts to its editor We wish great
success to the enterprise-pecuniary and political.

WE have Just received the first number of the
Southern Standard, "a new paper published at Co
lumbus, Miss, by Chapman and Smith, the former
is well known to many of readers as the able
editor of the Monroe Democrat The Standard
is large neat paper, and devoted to the cause of
the South more than the building up of party
Chapman is one of the best politicians and finest
writers in the State and the Standard will certain
ly be one OF the best papers-prlce S3 IN advance.
We wish the publishers the greatest success.-FaI-
ton Monitor.
SOUTHERN STANDARD.-We have received the
first and second numbers of a large, well filled and
well printed sheet bearing the above title publish
ed at Columbus, Mississippi, by W. D. Chapman
and J. R. Smith.
The principal object of the ''Standard' is, as
we gather from its columns, to advocate the de-
fence of the Institution of Slavery. 1t opposes
the late Compromise measures adopted by Con-
gress, and goes the whole length of the South
Carolina Southern doctrines, even that of non-in-
tercourse with the North Such paper is rath-
err singular enterprise in the freest country on
earth, and in the middle of the Nineteenth Centu-
ry, and may find supporters enough in Mississippi
and South Carolina to sustain it. But few, how
ever, in any other State of the Union (even in the
South) will be found sufficiently welded to the
odious system of Slavery to sympathise with it.
Slavery can never be made popular through the
columns of a newspaper. Discussion is that from
which it has most to fear The less light that is
thrown upon it the better for its permanence 1t
is the creature of ignorance and darkness, and of
these is its peculiar element composed in light and
intelligence it will sicken, fade and die.
Newspapers started to support the lettering
system will only serve to hasten its downfall. For
this reason-convinced as we are, of the fact-we
do not regret to see them. There are those among
shareholders who so bigoted that they will not
read paper opposed to Slavery, and it is far bet
ter they should read one which attempts to de-
fend the peculiar institution than to read none
at all.
We hope, therefore, the Standard may be sus-
tained for, although contrary to its intentions and
purposes, we have no doubt it will be yet instru-
mental to some extent, in awakening the People
of the South to a sense of the evils of Slavery
