LIBERTY AND THE UNION FOREVER—THE PRINCIPLES OF WASHING— TON, JEFFERSON AND JACKSON. IN proposingto establish in the city of New Orleans, a new pap run dar the above title, we aie encouraged b> the glowing and magnifi cent prospects which seem to hover around’ this mighty Emporium oi the West, pointing its destinies to a summit ot comine:cial grandeur, to which no other city in the world can ever expect to reach. Nor ar these prospects confined alone to New Oth’iuis.- When we ta.xe iuto view the numerous w ds-spread, mid extend d arms of the uobie Missis sippi, winding themselves through an extent of < ouutrv so niiiiimseh vast; embracing the most fertile and productive region ’ perhaps it the known wor.d ; with a c imate aid -•ceiierv as beautiful as nature cotilu form ih-’in; and a population ol hardy, iud wtrious freemen, increasing with every hour of the dav, we du not hesitate in declaring our opinion, that the West is destined, pt an early dav, to be one of the finest, th« noblest sections of country on the face of the globe; mid that New Or leans a commercial city, may, at*no very distant period, claim the proud appellation of Mi tress of the World. With such u field, then, as is spread Ijclore us, wecanuot but feel con scious of our success in the important labors which we are about to un dertake. Located, hr we shall br, nt th? general centre ot the almost entire commercial business ot the “ Great B cat,” and designing that our paper shall embrace nil intelligence of importance, of the United States mid of Foreign Governments, it will be found especially interesting aud useful to every class of our fellow citizens throughout the Western country. The Great Western will he devoted mainly x to Commerce, will support the int *rest«< of Agriculture, and will take its political posi tion and plant its standard upon the broad parapet of Democracy; it will also extend its notice t the interests of Mechanic*, mid to City l\eice, ftc. Commerce.—-The larger portion of this patter will be strictly commer cial. All intelligence of importance of tfys character, both domestic and foreign, will be aunmu-d up at ns early it inomeiH an possible, so as to af ford our mercantile patrons every deecri, tiou of news which can , I desire, under this head. Agriculture.—While every other branch of industry in the United States is receiving fre>h audencouragmg impulses for perseverance, tbi« most important of all, seems to Hug behind the general inarch ol im provement und prosperity; nnd, intend ot bring placed at the brad of our general national policy, aud receiving that tosn rin c are a d protec tion to which it is so pre-eminently entitled is left to grope its way, sim ply bv the dint of that per evrrmice aud unwearied indu>tiy so < harac teristic of our hardy countiymt*u. it will be ourespaciul cure to sustain the inte ests < f this class of our fellow citizens. FoLirius.—This department of our paper is one in which every class of our citizens is interested. Under this neud we shall give the general political intelligence ot me whole countrv ; while we, as the conductors ot u public journal, ure determined, wiino. t tear, favor, or affection, t > ’ support, with all our zeal, such measures ot policy as alone will tend, in I our opinion, to the promotion of our general prosperity as a people, the px'rpetuation ofonr liberties, and our beloved Union. I his paper, therefore, will be purely Democratic in its principles; ha ving ibi its object the diffusion of equal right*, equal blessing*, und equal burthens,thereby promoting the general happiness yf the people; and to this end will ull our energies be directed. With regard to the great questions ot policy whi< h are now agitating the people of the United .’Mutes, respecting the currency, w? unhesita tingly declurequr entire preference of the Independent 'l’reasury system, iroui our belief of its strict constitutionality, und in its tendency, better calculated to promote the general prosperity ot ail classes, than any oth er w hich, in our new, can be con. eived. We are strict constructionista of the Federal Constitution, and shall 1 ulwtiysoppose those splendid schemes,or ‘American systems’of momq - oly, whi h Inlve ever cmiruclerisi’d ihe policy of the Federal opposition, recognising no implied intPipn raiions ot th .t instrument, and believing that the GINEkAL WELFARiJ oi every portion of out wnte-spread confederacy, depends on a strict adherunce to its plain a d straightfor ward meaning, we ehah not be sparing in our exposiiions and denumua tions ot those during attempts which have and ure now being made I y the reckie«-4 and aspiring leaders oi the Federal Paity, io rend a suml- r this glorious charter ot our rights and tiheitiCs, und rear upon its ruins a splendid aristocracy ot wealth and power. Eurneslly advijcutmg, therefore, us we shall always do, these great und fundamental principles of otir govermn -ut, which were conceived by a virtuous and patriotic ancestry while snuggling tor the rights Hird .ib erlies ot mankind, we shall, in ull cuses, give our support, tor public offi ces, to such men as vyc are assured shall have the putiiotism, talents, nriimess and disposition to sustain and carry out those principles s ic cessfuily. With all our zeal and ability, therefore, we shall a. v orate the re election of MAR i'iN VAN BUREN, tor the next Fresidentiui Loin, Willi the fullest confidence in his exalted talents, integrity and patriotism, convinced that upon hi« success depends, in a very great measure. the linn and lasting estabii-lmirnt ot those glorious principles of pur revolu tion, so admirably acted upon by Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and Jackson. And for the second office in the gift ot the Ameridaii people, we shall as cordially give our support lo the Hon. John FoRSYTH, now .Secretary of State. * nannouucing our preference of these tuleuti d, patriotic, long-tried and nppiovcd statesmen, tin (tie highest offices in the government, we feel a glowing confidence ii» ihe almost unanimous approval of our fellow citi zens of the West, with an abiding belief that they will rally around th standard thus raised, proudly unfurling to the breeze the names of these distinguished individuals.

LiFOHEIF. “ What, still daubing away!” ctitd Lottis as he entered ■ his brothet William’.* room; “you will sit there till you ; get as Wooden as your easel. Get up and stir about!” “ You are out of humour to-day, dear brother,” was ; Wtllia it’s mild answer, “er you w’ould not blame me for following an art which gives me at once pleasure and support. The canvass, you know, is my farm, and the pencil my plough.” “ So inocli tire worse ! you will never rise in the world, but always be a poor, unnoticed hungry artist. My views art'different. 1 niean lo make something of myself and of you too, for that matter. When lam a rich tn6n, I 1 will have a splendid gallery of paintings, and 1 will give you libera) orders; for, to say the t'i#th you deserve en _ coiiragemenl: that landscape j..u are working, at is very soft and natural.” " I am glad you think so well of it.” “ But 1 cannot say so much for the female figure that rt r sitting in the foteground, with a book, titr everv-day, commonplace countenance spoils she wflole picture. k ! would swear she was reading a cookery book.” “•That is a kind of reading she is not fond of." ‘ “Wlio?” ’* The l«iy seated there in front.” “ So, then, she is no creation of the fancy, but a real wont in !

A man who finds comfort at home, in the bosom of his family, never, conies to any thing. 1 mean to many, not with any such foolish ideas, but with a care ful eye tu my own interest. If you were rich yourself, ihete might be some excuse for you ; but our good wld fa ther was so simple as to le.iVe hi» sons nothing but his good name as he called it.

Go on end vegetate in vwr humble sphere, if you will : my aim is a ro b wile and a ‘title. When I have g>t ilie u you cannot expect me to l eontiue any longer on the sain* terms with you ; and, as to vmir vulgar line love, !■ t her nevi r come neat me.” With these lofty ordets, he flung Itimsi !f out of the room. The characters of the two brothers are, we trust, suffi ciently plain, from the above conversation. In a word Louis, the rider, lived only for himself ami his own ag grandizement; while these were the very las’ tilings Ins brother Wil/iam ever thought of. We will <mh add, that they lived on the borders ot the Harz forest, in the year 16—. Near their house was a mountain, where the hea then Saxons used to meet to worship the goddess Lora, the Venus of northern mytlmlogv. To this momiluiti, yet sa cred in the traditions of >lt'- pe..pL , William w ttld often rep tir, fancying it always the n.ool favourable spot for a lover s meditations. One day it sei-med to him as tlmeglt the mountain was moving He riti.bi-d iiis eves, Bild look ed ayain, and it actually did move. It roiled from side to side, and finally opened, and hrmight forth, not a mouse, hot a dwarf, of wondrous beauty, who advanced to the young artist, and addressed him it, the sweetest >1 voices— “ Youthful mortal, pun? from siu, Enter free anu ea less in!” William was less astonishe I at tlie strange apparition* than ui ihe coolness an I leati.-ssm ss witii which he re gard* ■ d it. He I' ll none ol tit-il terror which is ostial at ihe Sigul.ot It.iteis from aiioth ; world. “No barm,” thouL’ht e, "can follow so tiiendly an inv itaiion,” and he stifler— ed tile dwarf, who took him by the hand, with child-like confidence, to lean him into the cavern. z\ solt, hazy, rosy light, the source of which the admi*. t iug adveiitiner could not discover, lighted the narrow patk **lt which they travelled, and the voices of unseen spirits '•I ‘2 around tin nt, with heavenly sweetness, the goodness ami th<* former glory of the goddess of the mountain.—r doon they came to a door of polished ebony, which th# dwarf opened with a golden key. William started back m surprise, for he saw before him a garden, diminutive? indeed, hut surpassing in splendor nil the productions of* earth. Spring, slimmer and autimni seemed foreign in it with divided i tnpire. Ihe ground was studded with knots ot brilliant flowers, while the trees bent down to earth their branches, oveiluaded with golden apples, oranges and pomegranates. This was the chosen retreat of the dethroned goddess, and here she sat, in a bower of roses, witii a purple flower iu her hand, which she extended to wards William, sa;. ing, “This is the magic flowerot Love; guard it faithfully. >*o lung as you and yottr Caroline are loving and true, it will continue to bloom, and your house be lie abode of peace and happiness.” I be young mortal received tlie precious gift with a low reverance, and the goddess gave him to understand, bv a slight inclination of In r head, that the audience was over. Al the garden-door stood the dwarf, with a basket full ot fruit, which lie emptied into William’s pockets, as a pres i nt lot Caroline, and then led him hack to the mountain side. Here he left him, and crept back into the mountain, like a rat. W illiain would gladly have flown to see his* Caroline, ; but the loa i in Ins po< kets, which seemed to grow heavier • vety minute, forced him to be content, with a regular three-miles-an-honr st p. Borne down by the weight, and faitly out of breath, he reached Caroline’s bouse at List, and told her of liisstiange adventure. He piled up L >ra’s piesents on the table, and Caroline seized one of the fruits in eagerness to taste these supernatural produc tions; but her teeth made no impression, and William dis covered that the fruits were so many lumps of solid gold* and far fitter for the mint than for the fable. To the mint, acccoidoiglv. he soon took tin m. He was now a rich man ; so he bought a farm, and lived a life of bappines*, surrounded by bi« wile and children, aud by all the beauties oi tiattiiv. The wondrous flower kept in full bhmrn, and worked even more wondets, than the goddess ba.l promised. Meantime Lottis bid not been idle. He had been n(| a voyage oi discovery throtrh Gtmprnv, in search of_jj rich wife. S'K’h a p'ir.e -was not hard.to find, s .
