Tn the publication of this Paper, the Editor will from
time to time, furnish the public with all the informa

by Literary Gentlemen, who have taken a Geological
view of this country, in which will be shewn the com
plete arrangement of the different Strata of earths and
rucks, forming this interesting section of country, and
in what kind Gold is most usually found. The Edi

As regards the polit'cal course of this paper, the
Editor will endeavor to pursue a liberal course keep
ing at ah times his columns open to the discussion o
political subjects, which are or may be of interest to
the country.
In relation to his own political opinions, he con
siders tin tn to tie such as have been maintained in the
Southern States, from the adoption of the Federal
Constitution down to the present time. He believes
that Federal encroachments, should be guarded
against with vigilence and repelled with promptness
Vet, however, in contending for the Rights of the
States, he cannot go tothe extraordinary and danger
ous extent of some of the politicians in a sister State ;
because he believes it would ultimately end in the de-
Struction of the government and all its rights
His opinions however he considers as nothing more
than the opinions of any other individual, he will
therefore endeavor to act the part of a faithful Jour-
F nslist without being subservient to the views of any

SINCE issuing our proposals about a year since,
tor enlarging and improving the Southern Banner,
events have transpired in this State, which render it
a duty w e owe to ourselves, as w- ll as our friends and
patron*, to issue a nru’ prospectus.
It isimpoesible fur the most superficial observer of
the signs ot the times, not to have drawn from them
the irresistible conclusion that the political elements
of our State have, within the last -h months, under
gone a revolution us great as it was sudden and unex
pected r and we feel it a duty we owe to the public,
to scatter any lingering mists which may still surrvui d
us. produced by this war of elements' tins breaking
up ot old party foundations, and this mingling ..f ex
tremes hitherto so opposite in the formation of new
Ones, in order that our true position may be revealed,
otlito those with whom we shall hereafter »ct, and
to those by tv horn we may be opposed. It is notour
intention, however, at nrcseut to enter into an eipl».

• our State—they have been heretofore, and may be
hereafter, more fully explained in our Columns. Our
object isjimply to call tht? attention of the public to
our press, ajud tffeniijt the aid of those in its behalf
with whom as a party we are determined to act.
The self styled “ State Rights Party” having adopt
ed the doctrine of nullification in its most obnoxious
sense, as the very : soul of its creed, we wash our hands
of it forever, and pfeßge our best exertions to support
that party both at the South and through
out the whole eountry, which, rallying around that
abused and villified patriot, Andrew Jackson, have
pledged themselves to maintain, against consolidation
hand, uud nuiiUMMUMMi on tne other, the integri
ty, honor and glory of our free institutions.
With this free and candid acknowledgment of our
viewsand sentiments, we submit our paper to the ten
der mercies of our opponents, and to the protection of
our friends Uur opposition to nullification hereto
fore, has, as might have been anticipated, called down
upon us the proscription of a portion of our old friends,
and their exertions to prostrate us increase, in pro
portion as their zeal for the Calhoun mania waxes hot.
We hope, however, that the disposition lately evinced
by the friends of the Constitution and Union, to up
hold and sustain us against their nullifying efforts, will
grow and strengthen in a proportionate degree, and
that we will be enabled, by their countenance and as
sistance, to “go ahead” in a course so disinterested as
respects oursolves, and a cause so sacred as regard,
the happiness and prosperity of our common country

Difficulties of Editors.— Tho truth ia, no
cd tor cannot step without treading on sonie
bodv’s toes. If he expresses his opinions
tenrlessiy and frankly, he is arrogant and pre
sumptuous. If he states facts w ithout com
ments, he dares not avow his sentiments. If
he coD'Cienciously refuses to advocate the
elairn- of an individual to office, he is accused
of personal hostility. A jackanapes, who
measures off w ords into verse as a clerk does
apo —by the yard—hands hun a parcel of stuff
tha' gmgles like a bandful of rusty nails aud a
gimblet. and if the editor is not fool enough to
print the nonsense—“stomp my paper, I won’t
patronize a man that’s no better judge of poet
ry.” \s il it was patronage to buy a paper
,t about one t alf m*Te than so much waste
paper would rost. One murmurs because his
naper is too !;:• r >ry annthor because it is not
h'wrary enough. Due grumbles because the
advertisements engross too much room—a
nother complains that the paper is top large,

j Crowded Profession. — When Mr. H was
admitted to the bar as a practitioner at the
Common Pleas, his friend Col. VV. inquired
oi him where he was going to settle. He re
plied that he knew not; the profession was so
crowded there was but a poor chance for him.
“Do yo> know ol any place, Colonel, where
I may earn enough to get my hiead?” “Why,
no; law yers are as plenty almost as niihtary
officers, who are so thick that you can scarce
tiF>ve a rod without butting upon one. I think
here ts no great chance for you: but stop, let’s
*ee; it may be there is a chance.” The young
man was all attention & expectation .“You will
oblige me, my'dear Col*, by informing me.”
“Well,” said the Colonel, “as I observed,
iliete may be, possibly, a chance tor von at
one place, and only one within my knowledge.
I purchased a little piece of rnedow last week,
<bout three acres, and I have not yet heard of
anyone’s locating himself there!”
Unwise men.— The angry man—who sets

The robber—who, for the consideration of
a few dollars, gives the world a right to hang
him.

Progress of Parties in the United Slates.—--
Whatever were tire designs of the Hartford
Convention, or whatever the means proposed
to be employed in their accomplishment, no
cause has ever Deen shewn why the sentence
of condemnation passed upon that assemblage
should be reversed. Its deliberations were
conducted with closed doors, and ull access
io the debates was cut off-—these and other
precautions used for the purpose of conceal
ment, were well calculated to excite suspicion
of mischievous mtenuon; and these suspicions
derived force from the known sentiments of its
leading members. These men had been so*
lecled by the Bniisn Agent, Henry, as pro
per instruments to commence the work of ex
citing disuffection to the Union, and (hey bad
corresponded with him. L therefore required
no great str< ich of credulity to believe ihat
some understanding existed between Hie Con
vention, or ils leaders, anil the British govern*
menl—a conclusion sirengtoened by the fact
that the latter made liitie secret ol their hopes
founded on the action of that body.
Although the end that it had in view was
not openly avowed, and could be discerned on
ly through the medium of inference and de
duction yet many of the fundament-til princi
ples, or axioms, upon which it based the legal
ity of its proceed ngs, and sought justification
for its acts, have been preservi d ard banded
d>>wu for the information ofi posterity. They
are professedly deduced from the celebrated
Virginia and Kentucky resolutions of'9B and
’99; and lend to shew how the most whole
some political (ruths may bo perverted, and
made instruments ol evil to the country for
whose peace and security they were devised.
Hero may be leduced a moral worthy to be
regarded by politicians < ontending for the es
tablishment of new and untried principles; they
should be udmonished io abstain from stretch
ing to its utmost extent and principle in tne
science of politics, since the point to which it
may be safely carried is but a short distance
removed from where danger begins; and moo
vation in governmnn s is generally attempted
by pushing to extremes doctrine-- believed to
be popular. Calomel, and Arsenic, in some
diseases are found safelremedi«s when admm
i-tered in certain quantities; but increase or
douido the dose, and they become more nox
ious to iife 'han tiie disease they were intended
to cure. So the same principles may conduce
to the life or death of tho State, as they are
temperately or rashly applied.
The H iriford Convention junto cast ns even
upon <he Virginia Resolutions, and believing
them »«> be popular with the Republicans of
