I March W JOHN GLARK & CO. Wfl. JEFFLRBON JONKS, EDITOR. PROPOSALS For publishing in the town of Columbus, Georgia, a weekly newspaper, to be entitled By n in. <:iici«. IN issuing iho I’rospcctus ol anew paper, it is difficult for the Editor to give, in the small space assigned by custom asthe proper limit, eDen r synopsis of his views and opin ions upon subjects intended to lie embraced in Kis proposed, publication. Nor, farther titan tlie bare mention of the general princi ples by which be will ha governed, is it, in our opinion very neccssaty that he should. Hi* publication must undergo the test of pe rusal, and stand or fall upon its merits or de merits. This is flic only ground upon which we can with safely base a judgment. Genius is often frittered away into frivolity. Talcpts is often encrusted by the corrosion of indo lence. And the brightest name is not always a sure guarantee of the faithful performance.' ot an undertaking. Under this conviction we internl that our words here shall he few, barely giving to the reader an outline of our design and the leading features wh.ch shall characterize ottr publication. We propose in the first place to devote a considerable portion of this paper to the polito literature of the day, and for this purpose shall make arrangements to receive all the stand ard periodical* of the United Etiitcs, with several of the best publications pf Europe. The utmost care and circumspection will bo used in making our selootipns; and although the Editor cannot promise to bring to hisajd a large share of talents, or an extraordinary taste, he l pledges himself to llto exercise of an ' unremitting industry find to the saving of no I expense, that may tend to make this depart ment interesting Polities also will engage a portion of the • columns of tlrispaper, at least so fi.r as togtvo the render a clear view of what is ostensibly transpiring from week to week in the politt ! cal world around him. Behind the scenes | the Editor dots not expect often to g*.t; and | as to the “dirty ropes and pullies” of intrigue and management, he lias bill little taste for them, and shall meddle as little will) them; or if he do, it will he merely to drag from con ceahneut the foul work going on, and txposj to public gaze and execration a mehinery set in motion nineteen times out of twenty for the advantage of the individual and to tlio public. We believe in the orthodoxy of-State Sov ereignty, and that all which has not been expressly imparted to the GeneralGov ernmentby the Constitution hits been reserv ed to the States or to the people, \Ve shall Ire governed by this principle. We believe further that power is continually tending from the many to the few. 'ld counteract such tendency, and to keep the power in the hands of the people—to thwart grasping ambition— to fojj tyranny—and to-secure the continu* anco of the Government in the spirit and practice of a pure democracy, shall ever be our honest, however feelrlo effort, tVe be lieve that next to tnakiug one part of the U ! nion tributary to another, or an abrogation of j the Constitution altogether, either t.v leter or in practice, the dissolution of the confedera- Icy would he one of the greatest evils which : could befull our beldved country.- Hi: shall therefore endeavor to inculcate a habitual reverence for the Union, and tor thb laws of the General Government enacted and admin istered in the spirit of lire Cdnstitutiiin, and shall lend our assistencc to frown away every attempt to alter our present form of Govern merit for “light and transient causes.” I’he Government was trained in a spirit of com promise; and a spirit of liberality alone can keep it together. The States have, by the Constitution, transferred a portion of their sovereignty to the General Government, and suth sovereignty, so transferred,should be as strictly guarded, as highly venerated, and as sue redly secured by them to the General Government, as they should he j ulou? ,-f en croachments upon the sovereignty which they have reserved ,to themselves.

The best agricul tural publications will be taken, to aid us in this department. , , The -Moral and Religious reader too shall not be disappointed in looking into our pub lication. Wo shall devote a column or more of eaoh paper to these departments, being especially carefully to derive our selections from the purest sources and avoiding all see tarian’polemics.
