Newspaper Changes.

Our list of Republican exchanges in
this State has received quite an accession
during the past week.
Col. ]. B. Deason introduces himself
TO the public as the editor of the Brook
haven Citizen, and announces a rule foI
his guidance, which, if strictly applied,
will render his paper worthy of the conf
dence which he seeks-as follows:
Placed as We are in position TO reach
the ear of so large number of our people,
we know that it behooves US, as one IN
terested in the welfare, prosperity and
honor of our State and country, TO see to
it, that nothing that would nislead OF
corrupt the public mind shall reach the
light of day through these columns. We
shall! endeavor to present to the public an
interesting nel0spaper-one that we hope
they will soon regard as a welcome and
Indispensable visitor; and in doing this,
We shall make it our aim to be agreeable,
kind and courteous to ALL To public Off
cials, municipal, county and State, we
shall give credit for duty well performed,
and shall know no political or other
friendship in lashing those who prove un-
worthy, inefficient or corrupt
VIM. H. Garland, Jr., Esq, has come
part owner and principal editor of the
Summit Times. He Is TO the manor
born, we'll acquainted with the people in
whose midst his paper is published and
familiar with their interests, TO which we
cannot believe any mere political associa-
tion will ever induce him to be unfaithful.
He is young gentleman of talent and
capacity, and has considerable newspaper
experience The following are the salient
points of his Introductory:
We will demand investigation AMI on
proof will condemn, without regard to
party names or party affiliations, the
guilty The Republican party cannot
be a party Of progress whenever it attempts
to carry heavy taxation, dishonest or ex-
travagant wasting Of public money.
50 long then as Gov. Ames shall pur-
sue a line Of action that we deem in accor-
dance with the best interest Of the State
We shall give his administration frank
and Jealous support-not that support
which slave gives his plaster-but that
support which measures fraught with
the best interest Of the State should
claim from every one identified with our
future.
With the press it will be our pride and
pleasure to cultivate and maintain rela-
tions Of amity and friendship. When we
shall differ from others we shall endeavor
to do il IN frankness, fairness and cour-
tesy; avoiding all personalities and deal
ing only with the subject matter of differ
ence.
The Starkeville Whig is new candi-
date for public favor. Its tone, like that
of the Brookhaven Citizen and the Sum
nit Times, is moderate and conservative,
and if followed up will divest the political
discussions of the day of the intense
bitterness which has too frequently char
acterized them. The following is an
extract from the editors saIutatory:
There is no necessity for extremism; it
has always led to failure; we desire sue
cess and we intend, if the public will aid
us, to have it, The time has come-as
shown by the sentiments expressed by the
orator, L. Q. c. Lamar, in
his late eulogy of one of his former politi-
cal antagonists, and which has called
forth responsive echo of good will from
the entire people of the north-when ami
mosities should be put aside; when we
should know eacn Ottrrr bptte-- - j ---~-I-
for the common good. Let us
do right. The interests of the people
languish in our midst; misfortunes have
followed each other in quick succession,
but the time of prosperity is dawning upon
us
