MILLEDGEVILLE, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 10, 1839.
THE GREAT WESTERN.
LIBERTY AND THE UNION FOREVER—THE PRINCIPLES OF WASHING
TON, JEFFERSON AND JACKSON.
IN proponing to establish in die city of New Orleans, a new paprrun
der the above title, we arc encouraged by the glowing and magnifi
cent prospects which scent to hover around this mighty Emporium of
tbe west, pointing its destinies to a summit of commercial grandeur, to
which no other city in the world can ever expect to reach. Nor nrc
these prospects confined alone to New Orleans. Whon wo take into
view the numerous wide-spread, and extended arms of the noble Missis
sippi, Winding themselves through an extent of country so immensely
vast; embracing the most fertile and productive region perhaps in the
known world; with a climate and scenery as beautiful as uature could
form them; mid a population of hardy, industrious freemen, increasing
with every hour of the dav, we do not hesitate in declaring our opinion,
that the West is destined, at an early dav, to be one of the finest, lhe
noblest sections of country on tho/ace of the Elobe; and that New Or
leans, ns a commercial city, may, at no very distant period, claim <he
proud appellation of Mistress of the World.
ith such a field, then, as is spread before us, we cannot but feel con
scious of our success in the important labors which we are about to un
dertake. Located, as we shall be, at the literal centre of the almost
entire commercial business of the “ Great Weft” and designing that our
paper shall embrace nil intelligence of importance, of the United States
and of F orcien Governments, it will be found especially interesting and
useful to every class of our fellow citizens throughout the Western
country.
The Great .Western will be devoted mainly to Gommerce. y
will support the interests of Agriculture, and will takelts political posi
tion mid plant its standard upon lhe broad parapet of Democracy; it will
also extend its notice t • lhe interestsof Mechanic*, and to City fxeict,
Commerce.—-The larger portion of this^paper will be strictly commer
cial. All intelligence of importance of this charncter, both domestic mid
foreign, will be summed up at ns early a moment as possible, so as to af
ford our mercantile patrons every description of news which can
desire, under this head.
Agriculture.—While every other branch of industry in the United
States is receiving fresh andencouragiug impulses for perseverance, this
most important of all, seems to flag behind the general march of im
provement and prosperity ; and, instead of being placed at the head of
our general national policy , and receiving that fostering care and protec
u h’ c l l it i s *<» pre-eminently entitled, is left to grope its vvav, sim
ply by the dint of that perseverance and unwearied industry so charac
teristic of our hardy countrymen.
It will be our especial care to sustain the interests of this class of our
fellow citizens.
Politics.—This department of our paper is one in which every class
of qur citizens is interested. Under this nead we shall give the general
political intelligence of the w hide country; while we, as the conductors
of a public journal, are determined, without fear, favor, or affection, l:
support, with all our zeal, such measures of policy as alone will tend, in
*ur opinion, to the promotion of our general prosperity as a people, lhe
perpetuation of our liberties, mid our beloved Union.
this paper, therefore, will be purely .Democnrtte in its principles; ha
ying for its object lhe diffusion ol equal rightt, equal bleasinge, and equal
burthens, thereby promoting the general happiness of lhe people; aud to
this end will all our energies be directed.
With regard to the great questions of policy whit h ore now agitating
the people ot the United States, respecting the currency, we unhesita
tingly declare our entire preference of the independent Treasury system,
from our belief of its strict constitutionality, and in its tendency, better
calculated to promote the general prosperity of all classes, than any oth
er which, in our view, cun be com eived.
We are strict constructionists of the Federal Constitution, and shall
always oppose those splendid schemes,or ‘ American Systems’ of monop
oly, w'hk h have ever characterised tha policy of the Federal opposition,
recognising no implied interpretations of th it instrument, and believing
that the ‘GENERAL WELFARE’ of every poition of our wide-spread
confederacy, depends on a strict udheianee to its plain and 'iraigiinbr
ward tnemiing, we shall not be sparing in our expositions and denuncia
tion* ot those during attempts which have and ure now being made i»>
lhe reckh a* und a*piiing lender* <4 the Fedeial Paily, io rend a sundJi
this glorious < harter of our rights and liberties, and rear upon its ruin*
a splendid aristocracy of wealth and power.
Earnestly advocating, lheret«>rc, a* we shn'l always do, these grrul
ami mud imental primiples of our government, which weie conceived by
a virtuous and pHtiiotic micestrv while *fiug.iiag tor the rights ai d lib
erties ol mankind, we shall, in ull • uses, give our support, tor public oil -
ces, to much meu as we ure assured shall have lhe patriotism, talents,
■ nnness and <li*pu«i!io.i to sustain and carry out those pr nciplt-s - c
cesstully . Willi ml our zeal aud übiiily,th r ’for?, wohail a vocate tin
re election of MARTIN VAN LLKi.N. lor the next Presidential t.'iiu.
with the fullest confid neciu his exalted latent*, i itegritv uiidputrn lism,
convinced that upon hi* suc<’e«* depends, in a very great ru. asurr, ill
inn and lasting establi*hineni of those f/iorious principle* of our revolu
tion, so admirably acted upon by Washington, Madi*on, ami
lackson. And for the second office in the gift ot the Aincricuii people,
■*e shall as cordially give our support to lhe Hon. John Forsyth, now
Secretary ol dlute.
Ina ino iiK-ing o ir preference of these talent d, patriotic, long-tried ai.d
unproved statesmen, fur the highest offices iu the government, we f.ml a
glowing confidence in lhe almost unanimous approval of our fehow citi
ans of the West, with an abiding belief that they will ntllv around th
tandard thus raised, proudly unfurling to the breeze the names ol ilie.se
distinguished individuals.
Mechanic*.—Under ihi* head that large and respectable portion of
•nr fellow citizens, among w bom w e have th • onor ot <r asking ourselves,
diaii have a hearing. e invite ihem to lhe useof our columns. I hen
rights and interests must be usiained.

be found ull impoytani general intelligence, both at home a> d abroad.
t'ity Acics.— Tbi* bead will embrace ull math-rs and occurrences of
interest, ol every character, relating to, or transpiring within lhe citv.
We shall reserve a large portion of our paper for advertising Patron.*,
both of the city and country ; and as we anticipate a numerous subsetip
iion list and a vvide-sprrud circulation, it will be to lhe interest of adver
tisers to appear iu our columns.

THE POOR MAN’S SONG.
FROM UMLAND.
A poor man, poorer none, am I,
And walk the world alone—
Yet do I call a spirit free
And cheerful heart my own.
A glecfiotne child I played about
My dear, dear parents hearth—
But grief has fallen upon my path
Since they are laid in earth.
I Boe rich gardens rouud mo bloomy
1 see the golden eritjn: 1
My path is bate and barren alj,
Aud Lrvd with tpil andpaiu.
AiiAet, though flick ht heart, I’U stand,
Where bappv faces throng, <
And wish g<»od morrow heartily A
To all thut pass along.
» Abounteoni God ! thou leav’gt mo not s®, ' *
To comfortless despair; .
There comer* gentle balm from bcaVea
Eur every child of care.
Still iu each dell thy sacred houae
Points mutely to the sky— g
The organ und the cltorarsong
Arrest each passerby.
Still shine the sun, the moon, the start.
With blessings even on me,
And, when the evening bell rings out.
Then, Lord, I speak with thee.
One dav shall to the good disclor*
Thy halls of joy and rest,
Then in my wedding robes even I
Shall seat me as thy gueet 1

THE BEGGAR OF FLORENCE.
BY D. L. I. HILLHOUSE.
Belmonte had b.-en born a beggar, and the recollections
of Ilia early life cat rigd him back to the time when he wan.
dt-red through the streets of Florence clad in tattered gar
ments, aud led by his mother, whose habiliments were akin
to his own, nud well corresponded with their condition.—
I’itey sh pt in the open air; sometimes behind lhe portico
01 the Pitti palace, and sometimes within the corridor of
Ute St.oz/.i, and not uufr. qtir ntly in the fishermen’s sheds
ilr.it I iy ,-c tiered along the b inks of the Arno, below ihe
toreiiousi» <>f the Mi di. i. One day while he was asleep
o 1 thes». p, <>f the catliedial, bis mother left him and he
11 ver s.w her more; whether some accident bef< 1 her or
no . lie could never barn, and being tolerably well bred
t > tiie hade of beggary, it g ive hint very little uneasiness ;
i-ncelbtih ho put sued the profession on his own responsi
bility, ami met with that success which was cotiimeiisurate
■vnh Ins merits. He bad no relations and consequently
■rad no cares but su b as were necessarily connected with
its ow ii personal comforts. Indeed he sometimes doubted
whether she was I.is mother who emly initiated him into
the mysteries of his calling; still he lelt a sense <.f grati
nitle towards her for her kind protection, and would fain
mlulge the thought that she did not wilfully abandon him.
dm the idea of adding a portion to the wealth of society,
or of enl .r in_> th • blessings of this life by personal nh s
rv,or nidivi<lii.l exertion, never entered his l ead; he
supposed that all the riches of this world had been absorb
ed by one portion of society, merely to deal cut a pan gta
milonsly to another. et he sometimes wondeied why
those who had the bounties of Providence in their special
In g , did not deal it out equally to all at once, and thus
>ut an end to all importunity.
H.-lnioine felt tolerably well satisfied with bi.
ondition, as long as he cotdd silence the ciavings of hun
ger, still he was not quite philosopher enough to look upon
he splendid dome of the affluent w ithout envy ; anti al
hmioh he bad never seen the interior of any of those
c tly piles of commercial grandeur, yet he often sttficred
i fancy to rove among their classic beauties, and piciurtd
o himself ihe gorgeous scenes within, necessary tucuircs
itind with the courtly magnificence without. On some
occasions he contrasted his own dirty robe with the gav
trucks and showy finery of the Florentine youth; and lelt
a > ispesition almost to repine; but then the ease with
which his time-worn trapping clung to h'r person, from old
habits and long acquaintance, soon recoin iled him loins lot.
Belmonte had now arrived at the age of twenty years,
when early one morning, as he was wending his wav along
the streets towards the great quay, where lay the ships of
the Medici, he was accosted by a brother mendicant, who
belonged to the Lazzaroni, saying :
“Ah, Belmonte, have you heard the news? Gl.nious
times now! Signior Lorenzo di Medici has taken charge
of all the good people of Florence—he feeds all ti e poor,
and they say he intends to give tip his palace to them, ax
he is tired of living there.”
So, so, replied Be monte, thoughtfully, and then cast
his eyes down his sides as if to take a cluse survey of hrs
personal appearance ; then, with an air of doubt and ht«-
iiH,i >n, added—“ Will he leave his wardrobe and all his
provisions there?—he’ll find no independent Florentine to
live there without.”
“ Ay ; to be sure he will,” rejoined Francisco: “ but
then what is one to do for villains, as then proud nobles
call poor folks what work, as nobody, will have to work
now, nor beg nor steal—l’ll not live there, ’twculdn’t-suit
me.”
“Ts one could marry a pisani, now,” said Belmonte,
still musing on the extraordinary prospect before him, “ it
would be pleasant, but where will Sighior Lorenzo live?”
“ O, tie must vote for him to be chief of the republic,
and then he’ll live amongst us, I suppose; sometimes with
you, Belmonte, if you take the palace.”
“Well, th it’s fair. Signior Lorenzo is a great Han,
and we must kill all the nobles what don’t vote for him—-
but what’s that noise ?”
“ it’s the people ; that is, the free citizens, as they call
its now, going to the great church ; Lorenzo has ordered
bread anti wine t > be placed under the portico—ah, Bel
mome, we shall see no more such days, if we don’t make
him chief of the republic—con e, come, let’s follow him.’*
1 he crowd soon came up, and Francisco and Bellmonte
joined in the throng, and mingled their shouts with the tu
mult in loud praises of the Medici. In every quarter of
the city, groups of men, women and children, were seen
gathered around the storehouses of the Medici, clamorous
with excess of joy. Belmonte and his companion wan
dered from place to place, their appetites growing by vh«t
they fed on; at length, as evening begun to close in,*
la ge concourse of these citizens passed the Strozzi palace,
lo lowed by Belmonte and Francisco, locked together by
the arms, and reeling beneath the bounty of thv Medici,
which they had taken from the wine cup. As they made
a pause to gaze on the splendor of this noble pile, Bel
, monte caught n glimpse of a beautiful female in one of the
windows of an upper chamber, the sight of whom seemed
to overcome all his faculties. “Let us rest beneath the
eotridor,” said he, and broke from his companion and fell
•>n the step* at the side of a marble lion, one of which
adorned each side of the entrance.
Francisto !o< ked on him for a moment, and as he began
lo snore right lustily, exclaimed—“ well, the beast may
take care of you to night,” and left him to his fate. Goo*
