THE publication of paper bearing the


above title will be commenced in the
town of Grand Gulf, on or about the 10Th
day of June.


Its political principles will be fnlly firm
ly, warmly whig. l am opposed to the pre-
sent administration, so far as it has deyel-
oped its policy, either in theory or prac-
tice. | cannot but believe that its darling
objects are the concentration of all power
in the hands Of lhe Executive, and an ire
sponsicle, unwise and tyrannical exercise
of that power. Its aims are selfsh--is acts
have been anti-republican, unteellng, and
fatal to the prosperity Of the nation. The
WIG will advocate the restoration OF
sound currency, the careful preservation ol
State rights, and pure and perfect love toT
the men and manners of the Republic III
its ealy days. 1t will be my anxious wish
to avoid blind partizanship on the one hand
and lukewarmness on the other


Mississippi has declared, in her late cleo
ton, that she will no longer wear the yoke
of despotic party thraldom-that she is
and will be free. To cherish the intluen
ces Of patriotiom, to resist corruption anC
oppression, to inform the people--the source
Of all power--should now be the dearest OBJ
lJects of every Wing press. Let not the
Wings rest on their arms, though victory
perches on their banners. To aid, howev
er humbly, in the great cause of political re-
form will be my highest ambition.


| shall studiously exert myself to make
the VINO useful print to every class O
readers who usually resort to newspapers
1t will be printed weekly at So year, pay
able in adpance. Insufficient patronage be
afforded, it will be printed for at least part
of the year, semi-weekly, in which case a
small addition will be made to the subscrip-
ton price above named.
