I>HE publication of this journal, from cir.
Il cumstances beyond the control of the
proprietor, has been suspended for some
mouths. Having recently received much en-.
courageinent from good and true men, it is
proposed to resume its publication without
delay, as a LITERARY AND POLITICAL
JOURNAL and, we are encouraged to believe,
on such besis as will preclude aay psobaLili'
ty Of failure.
| As l-itessry Journal, it. will be devoted To
the development of SOUTHERN TALENT.
T There is no paper in this State and very few
| in the Southern States, that make Literature a
distinct and prominent feature. The aim OF
| the conductors Of the EXAMINER will be to
| elevate it to a high standard in this Ssdepnrt-
| nlent, which will DC under the control of one
| of the ablest and most experienced editors in
the State, JOHN G.. BOWMAN, Esq, a wri-
ter we'll aud favorably known throughout the
South.
AS a political Journal il will Mt once take
ground and abide by the old landmarks of
TIE CALHOUN STATE RIGHTS party, ow-
| ing no allegiance to any National Party, nor
seeking {" advance its interests by subscrvien-
cy to any local clique whatever. 1t will be
entirely independent i'll its expressions Of opin-
ION on public men and mcasurcs-in short, the
| aim will be to make it faithful Representative &c
of the people, aud fearless advocate of the
interests of the State. The position of the
South at this juncture-the apparent trucking
| of the arpointccs and organs of tho Admins,
! tration to the Free Soil or Black Republican
Party, rs exhibited in the course Of the Govern.
or of Kansas-lcmand that the Press Of the
South should shake off tho shacklcs of party,
and unhesltatingly define its position, and
avow It's determination TO maintain and defend
the rights of the Southern States. 1t is now
too late to dcplore the formation of sectional
parties-thc South asa section, must fight her
own battles, or be overwhelmed.
In,, ,,rtp, 4
and management Of W. Is. JOHNSTON, ESQ,
