- ktHE great contest is over. The people have de-
4 4 cided by great ma ority almost unprecedented
In the history OF country, that they wall have
change OF men and change OF measures Emerg-
ing now are from the depth OF that gloom INTO
which unwise and corrupt men have thrown us it be-
comes to proceed cauous and surely IN the steps
which shall take towards return to the prin-
cipleS essential to our prosperity and greatness
From the indications which the recent elections have
given US, cannot doubt that thorough reform IN
the federal government throughout all its ramifca
tions, will take place. and to such reform the South
ron will yield hear support. But in Mississippi
there other and more important interests to be at
tended to than the course of the federal government
or tile prospects of General Harrison's successor
Great and manifold the evils which have been
inflicted upon US by the measures of Mr. Van Buren,,
we have suffered yet more severely by the course
which his friends and supporters while in the control
of our state government, have pursued. The eec-
ton Of General Harrison to the Presidency will be
of little advantage to u.s. if the men who have pros
trated state credit abroad and rendered state
government object Of ridicule and contempt at
home, are suffered to continue to mismanage it.


Earnestly impressed with these opinions, we shall
devote our energies, in especial manner, to the
correct information of the public the subject of the
situation of the State its liabilities and its resources
and the best of applying the latter to the lie
quidatiOn of the former. As auxiliary to this
great WOrK O puDnc REFORM, we snail devote large
portion of our paper to subjects connected more i'm


nediatey with the private interests of the planters
who constitute the great mass of the people of the
State The state of the cotton market the incidents
which may effect it, the improvements in its cutiva-
ton, will receive large share of our attention. and
III conection with the subject, shall devoted


reasonable space those matters ofdomestic econ
omy which have been too much neglected in Mississip
pi. ..1n


In the indispensable duty ofexamining the conduct
of public len shall avoid the abusive which
has OF late so much disfg the public press. Diff
ference OF opinion does not constitute crime in
eyes, nor shall we treat it such We will endeav-
or to discuss principles fully, freely and fairly, and
t3conquer adversaries with the sword of truth,
the only weapon which the freeman is authorized to
use in his contests with his countrymen Facts will
be stated candidly and impartially. We have de-
sire to belong to party which requires talsehood to
support it, and will dissolve all political
connection with that to which attached,
than misState missrepresent facts to sustain it.


With this fainL outline of our Intentions we SUBJ
NIT proposals to the subtle, in the hope that they
will meetits appreciation, and with determination to
do all in our power to merit it. af.E
