In its editorial conduct the Morning
News will constantly pursue the poli
cy which has characterized it from the
start. Questions of national or sec
tional interest will be canuidly and
impartially discussed, while every sub
ject of a political complexion will be
treated with an eye single to the wel
fare, the peogress and substantial de
velopment of the materia] resources of
the Sonth. The system of carpet-bag
robbery aDd plunder that him impov
erished or section—the popular prac
tices of official knavery and corrnp-
tion —and all those odious features of
Radicalism which have for their ob
ject the prostration of sovereign States
and the disestablishment of civil gov
ernment in the Sontli—will be held
up to the severest condemnation; and
at all times, in season and onf of sea
son, the paper will advocate Jfie prim
itively pure doctrines of a strict con
strnction of the Constitntiog, and the
administration of the powers of the
government—Executive, Jmlicial and-
Legislative—within the limits prescri
bed by that instrument In subserv
ing the interests of a section that has
been so sorely oppressed and so per
sistently belied, the course of tbe
Morning News will be, as heretofore,
either cautiously conservative or sharp
ly aggressive, ns tbe nature of the cir-
cumstance-may seem to demand; and
it will be tbe aim and purpose of tbe
conductors of the paper to maintain
its position as one of the leading ex
ponents of Son.hern opinion.
In the news dedartment, the enr-
rent local effairs of Georgia and Flor
ida will be chronicled with the same
picturesque and pungent assiduity that
has made them such prominent and
popular features of the paper. Tbe
local department is in charge of a gen
tleman of skill and reputation, and
will continue to be the most complete
and reliable record of home events to
he found in any Georgia jonrnal. Tbe
commercial department is full and
complete.. The figures are collated bv
experts, and their accuracy is snch as
to commend them to merchants and
business men in this and adjoining
States. The local market reports are
compiled with laborious care and may
be relied on as representing every
phaseof Savannah commerce.
