PROSPECTUS.

The Citizen viii positively be issued on Friday,
the 5th inst and regularly each week thereafter.
We invite our friends to call and get specimen cop
les. II is tn" official paper of Giles county-con-
tanning each week, besides the commercial and mar
kot reports, Congressional Legislative and 1nsoena
noous news from all parts of the country concise
and reliable report of all local, County and State
news, together with the proceedings of Courts and
public meetings held in the county.
In sending out a prospectus for the Pulaski Czti-
zen, deem it useless to infict upon the people of
Giles county, who know us so well, a lengthy and
unnecessary address, detailing its political status.
You are all familiar with its career before the war,
and are well acquainted with our ideas of govern
ment and political economy, as announced from
week to week before the war. The citizen viii be
the sorno paper that it was then, far it be
consistent with the new order of things. OF course
it will recognize the death of slavery, and accord to
the late slaves all the rights and nmunities which
their new situation entities them to. Believing 1t
to the interest Of the white race well the black
for friendly relations TO exist between the two we
would exhort the former to be generous and liberal,
and the latter to be patIent moral industrious and
providont-to raise themselves by industry and ed
usaton to a higher standard morally, socially and
intellectually. Let the white men of the South
prove themselves the truest, best friend the negro
has, and then let the negro provo ,sQself true to
the WI lite man. We would not raise the negro to
social level with the white man, We believe So
cial equality hgInbug aud an innpOssibilitys Nor
would we take from them the means Of education
aud reform. Let them be educated if they can be,
and they at once know their true relation to tho
other race. We viii oppose negro suffrage, but nm
der all the circumstances as they exist in Tennessee,
VIC believe t.Besf that he be admitted to the scivil
Courts to and be sued, plead and be impleaded.
We of course win not become the organ Of any
party, sect or individual but will take high, indie
/ pendent ground-~advocating that which seems to
rs best for country, ashing parties and parti-
zons whenever they come in the way. We were
not a partizan before the war, and friends may
rest assured we are much less Partizan now. Our
object win be to print paper well filed with lite
nature, market and financial reports, interesting
miscellany and news from all parts Of the World
eschewing party and doing everything we, can for
the interest of our sown, county, State and country
developed his policy toward the scctded States and
towards the late rebels, we will give him our cor
dial approval. IF he pursues TO tho end the course
indicated by his recent acts and sayings as we IN
dcrstond them, his administration viii have been
just generous and statcsmanlke. and the people of
America win accord to him the honor of bringing
order out ofchaos restoring civil and religious lib
erty TO the country, crushing out the germs Of an
archy and confusion which had well nigh ruined us,
ana ofrcstorng the government to It's original pu-
rity In contradistnetion to the radical party who
seek to rule his administration for base party PurPo
