THE undersigned, acknowledging a blind adhesion to no man or set of men on catllr—hut claiming and exercising the most unrestricted liberty of thought, speech anil action, proposes publishing weekly, at Washington, Wilkes, Georgia, | a newspaper to lie called “THE INDE PENDENT PRESS.” Regarding the principles oft he Virginia & Kentucky Re solutions of ’9B, and *99, of the celebrated Virginia Report of the latter year, ns es sential to the preservation of the integrity of the Republic and tiie liberty of its citi zens—the niidcrsioed will acknowledge them alone as the gnLles ot huftourse, and will at all times to apply them with a stern imparnflny to men, to parties, and to “Tiie Inde pendent Press” re-estab lishment of ti United as unconstitutional, inexpedient and dan gerous; tt Protective Tariff, ns onconsti tivHonnl, unequal anil unjust; the System mt Internal Improvements hy tin GeaHSn Mlovernment; the flagitious project M| assumption of State debts by the General] Government; all monopolies and exc.lo- 1 sive privileges; and will endeavour to | ! show the in jurious effects of the present Banking System —'inaccurately called the credit system —upon the distribution of individual and national wealth, the productive energies of the country, and the morals of the people. As the elec tion of William Ilcury Harrison would he regarded as n verdict hy the people against all our principles, as above set \ forth, and in favor of a Bank, protective] tariff’, internal improvements hy the Gnu- ! era!

Ofcntirsc Mr. Van Duron will be sustained as de cidedly pr> ferablo to the Federal candi date. “The Independent Press” will fear lessly rebuke, the spirit of Party proscrip tion, and the employmeut'of all improper j means for the attainment of political power and ascendency, by either men ‘or parties. It will especially repro bate the vile practice now so common w ith the politicians of the day, of seek ing popular favor hy pandering to tiie prejudices, passions and appetites of the ignorant and vicious. ll will go for reform at home, among the people themselves, without which re form in tln ir governments either B*;ute or Federal, neither will nor can he attained. Di.-c arditia demagogues and grog-shop politicians, the people must learn like an cient Rome to “know no qualification for office hut virtue and abilities.” Amid the din of politics the claims of literature shall not be overlooked; and all manner of intelligence useful to the scholar, the farmer, the merchant, and the mechanic, will he diligently sought after and disseminated through the columns of the press:—and it will he the constant effort of tiie undersigned to make the pa llet instructive and useful to those valua- j hie classes. As profit is not the object of the under- | ?igned, he will, provided a sufficient num- j her of subscribers can be obtained to se cure him from actual loss by the publi cation, issue the first number of ‘The Independent Press” by the Ist of July upon a sheet of the usual dimensions, at the moderate price $2 5J per annum, payable in all instances in advance, Should (lie subscription authorize i(, the paper will issue in a very few weeks.

SOUTBSEHN ®@® su EDITED BY IP. c. PENDLEI'ON A’ O. F. PIERCE. To the Ladies of Georgia, and of the South gent, roily, the following plan is most respect fully submitted. It is hoped that it uill receive their serious attention, ami meet tln ir approbation, since it is for their especial bent ft that the work is pro jected. PROSPECTUS. SN submitting the following plan, vi e would . first rail the attention of tire Ladies, and all those who Ilc'l interested (and who arc those that do not ?) i:i the welfare and im provement of tlie Female sox, to the present condition of the Southern Press. Nearly all the publications which issue from il are en gaged in political discussions, and their co lumns teem with accusations, denials, abuse, arid every other form of wordy warfare—car ried on in language, frequently unfit for “eats polite,” and seldom suited to the delicacy and gentleness which belongs so peculiarly to the Female character. Oftli! few literary papers published South of the Potomac, there is not one exclusive ly-dedicated to the LADIES ! We have felt this as a want which ought to be supplied; l and we propose to make an effort to do so, I confident that our endeavors will be crowned with success, if we can only secure the hcar- I tv co-operation of them for whose welfare we I are about to labor —The Ladies of the i South. And we expect, further, that every intelligent mind among tlie oilier sex, will view with approbation, and aid in sustaining an enterprise designed to improve the minds oft'.; ‘i. about whose cheeiing smiles and soothing companionship, fife would be dreary an ! this fair world a desert. We wish, also, to Haffiird to the Ladas a field for the exercise ol their own talents, and for the development of the resources oftheir minds. The lists of authors; for some few year? past, havefreqnenlly entolled the names of’Feinnles whose glorious success Iras sited an.additional radiance on the name of “Wo man.” Tire “lords of creation” have been forced to acknowledge that the Female mind is, by no means, deficient in capacity and intellectual endowments —whilst, at the same lime, it is possessed of superior delicacy and tact. —Long ivas Woman's ntind held in thraldom, long were her powers underrated, and forced to remain inactive or unexereised by the force of conventional arrangements; but her chains are broken, and her liberty has been proclaimed, The article of Mos lem fault, that “Women have no souls,'’ no longer obtains among ris. Let the Ladies noiv assort their own privileges, and we of fer them, in our proposed work, a medium for theexpre riorr of their own liewsandsen (iineuts, on all that appertains, in any de gree, to the welfare and improvement of | their sex. In offering the plan of a SOUTHERN LADIFS, BOOK, we do not intend that it shall be precisely similar to a work of like name, at the North. We leave Ipour North ern eoteniporary pictorial representations of fashion and dress, for (he embellishment of the person : be it ours to provide a garb of purity, elegance, refinement and grace, for the adornment of the mind. Ail lhat may ei dilute to form the heart, invigorate tiie mil.!, purify tiie aHec.lWfns, and refine tiie manners, snail be our especial eare, that our work may be a useful aid to the young, and fair, and beautiful, in preparing themselves for the diselmi v.c of tiie noble and arduous duties which devolve on Woman, inker va ried capacity ol’Daughter, Wife anrl Mother. And wo repeat that in the accomplishment of this high enterpi.se, we confidently expect tiie aid and support of the enlightened and judicious of both sexes. Arrangements for regular gid will be made with several Ladies, whose productions have already gained them high famein the literary world—and several gentlemen of distinguished attainments have already been secured as contributors, from whom scientific tracts, iiitli notes, and ob servations on tiie Arts may be expected.— This department of the- work will receive marked attention. 1 n short, nothing will be omitted which may tend to give to tiie pub lication sue!) characters.? will render it wor thy the attention oftlie learned, nnd of those to whom it isesnecially dedicated— the La dies of the South and West, ll only remains to obtain tiie requisite number of subscribers —sny two thousand—and if tiie Ladies will entile.upon, rind aid otir efforts, that number will riot long be wanting. Let them urge their Fathers, Husbands, 13 rot hers & Friends, and it is soon done. Ojr” The work will contain sixty-four roy al octavo pages, stitched in a neat colored co ver, nnd will appear monthly. Terms: Five Dollars per annum, payable on the delivery of the first number. “ OC/ 3 11 is highly important to state that all ! the Subscribers names which maybe obtain ed, shou I(J be forwarded by tiie Ist of Decern her next.
