Or a weekly newspaper to be pub
lishcd in the city Of Vicksburg, to be
entitled the Mississippi Sentinel and
State Rights Exposltor, edited and
published by Drs. Green and llagan.


The great and growing resources
of Mississippi, and the rapid increase
Of wealth, population and business,
seem to demand another paper in this
city.


The political. character of this paper
will be indicated by its title. It will
advocate the great principles Of State
Rights and State Remedies, and an
nonnce, from the watch-tower, every
encroachment Of the Federal Govern
ment on the rights Of the States and
| the liberties OF the people. BY ire.
Iquent recurrence to FIRST principles
and the doctrncsstaught by the franz
ers Of the Constitution, it viii en-
dcavor to impart clear views Of the
federal compact, that the people may
be enabled to mark, and prepared 70
resist the advances of despotism and
corruption.


The peculiar institutions OF the
South, and the present crisis, require
energy, intelligence and organization
on the part Of the people. The wealth
and luxury of Rome only stimulated
the rapacity and avaricc OF the north
ern barbarians. We must not only,
individually, become acquainted with
4 the rights and interests OF the South,
but we must effect such a union Of
fceling-such physical organization
as will defy the bold schemes Of lanat-
Iicism and the wiles of treacherous


demagogucs; and transmit to posterl-
ty our glorious institutions, pure as
we received them from the hands OF


our forefathcrs.


| Though there are times and circum-
stances when the laws may be dis
, pensed with and summary punishment
: be resorted TO, yet we are convinced
that Lynch law has become quite too
, common all over the country. 1t has
; excited furious and sanguinary spirit
at war with civilization, and injurious
I, the prosperity and happiness OF our


common country. 1t has in many


cases enabled individuals to wreal
+ vengeance for private griefs, at the


expense Of the peace and order OF the
community, and the life probably o


the innocent. The Sentinel will up


hold the majesty Of the laws; beIlev


ing that they ought only to be dis
pensed with in extreme cases, whel
= public liberty and life are threatened
: by organized bands of conspirators
! The Sentinel will endeavor TO pre-
l. sent its readers with such views a
y will aid in developing the resource
I and increasing the wealth and pros
: perity of the State. Its columns Wi
y be open at all times TO the mechapb
: las well rs the merchant or plantsT
= and every class of citizens when thcl
! rights and interests are assalled, caT
!, present iheir grievances to the pubic
through the Sentinel.
Il A portion Of the paper will be dc
Ivoted to literature, notices oi new
works, &c. +,


A portion of advertising and Jat


work is expected.
