PROSPECTUS
OF THE
Oxford Intelligencer.

IT is proposed to establish, at Oxford, Mississippi
weekly journal, under the foregoing title and to rs
sue the first number or about the LIST day of June
| 1850.
TIE ISrELLIGEScER will not be the organ of any
man, or Of any clique or combination of individuals
but it will endcavor faithfully to represent the views
and sentiments of the community of Oxford and La.
yette county, and to uphold and foster all the great
intercsts-educationa agricultural, MATERIAL social
and mora-with which the highest welfare of our pco
pie is identified.
The fundamental doctrines If the State Rights
school of Democracy will constitute the guides by
which the political course of the paper will be con-
trollcd; and while the INrELLIGENcER will sustain
Southern institutions, and the of the South, with
energy and zeal, 1t will do calmly, and only BY rea
son and argument-remembcring that there is zeal
which SIS not according to knowledge" and whose
only weapons are empty defamation and appeals to
popular ignorance, passion, and prejudice. II will
earnes ysuppor the principles andorganization OF A
Democratic party; but, at the same time it will be
courteous to those of felow-ctizens who po-
litically opposed to it nor will it descend, in any
case, to personal abuse and utilization.
The Editor first the light in Tennessee, but
was brought to Mississippi while he yet an I'M
conscious infant. Here he nurtured and educa-
ted He is graduate of the University of Missis-
sippi He is bound to Mississippi by every tie of as
ISOLATION and affection, and it will be his contan duty
to show that he is not unmindf of those obligations
which he owes to her
Nothing will appear in the columns of the INrELLI-
GENcER which the Editor does not believe to be true
for it is his purpose to establish for the paper repu
tation, both at home and abroad which shall its
every statement Of fact to be implicitly relied on.
The Editor will studously avoid all controversies,
far the may be avoided with propriety by
whose duty it will be to call things by their right
names, when he speaks of them at all.
Terms 81 per annum in advance, or 50 SO at the
end Of the year.
