June 25, 1899 22—ts OUR CONSCIENC E —O UR COUN TR Y OUR PARTY. MILLEDGEVILLE, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 17, 1839. THE GREAT WESTERN. LIBERTY AND THE UNION FOREVER —THE PRINCIPLES OF WASHING TON, JEFFERSON AND JACKSON. I N proposing to establish in the city of New Orleans > a new pape r un der the above title, we arc encouraged by the glowing and magnifi cent prospects which seem to hover around this mighty Emporium of the West, pointing its destinies to a summit of commercial grandeur, to which no other city in the world can ever expect to reach. Nor arc these prospects ebn fined alone to New Orleans. When we 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 u climate and scenery as beautiful as nature could form them; undo population of hardy, industrious freemen, increasing with every hour ot the dav, we do not hesitate in declaring our opinion, that the West is destined, at an early day, to be one of the finest, the noblest sections of country on die face of the globe; and that New Or leans, as a commercial city, may, at no very distant period, claim the proud appellation of Mistress of the World. With such a field, then, as is spread before us, we cannot but feel con scious of our success iu the important labors which we are about to un dertake. Located, as we shall be, at the general centre of the almost entire commercial business of the “ Great 11 and designing that our paper shall embrace all intelligence of importance, of the United States and of Foreign Governments, it will be found especially interesting and useful to every class of our fellow citizens throughout the Western country. J. HE Great Western will be devoted mainly to Commerce, will support the interests of Agriculture, and will take its political posi tion and plant its standard upon the broad parapet of Democracy; it w ill also extend its notice t the interests of Mechanics, and to City News, SfC. Commerce.—-The larger portion of this paner will be strictly commer r*. * intelligence ol importance of this cliuractcr, both domestic and loreign, will be summed up at as early u moment as possible, so us to af iord our mercantile patrons every description of news which they can desire, under this head. ! Agriculture.—While every other branch of industry in the United I btates is receiving fresh and encouraging 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 atfthe head of our general national policy, and receiving that fostering care and protec tion to which it is so pre-eminently entitled, is left to grope its way, sim ply by the dint of that perseverance and unwearied industry; so charac teristic ot 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 oae in which every class of qnr citizens is interested. Under this head we shall give the general political intelligence ol the whole country ; while we, as the conductors ot a public journal, are determined, without fear, favor, or affection, to ■ support, with all our zeal, such measures of policy as alone will tend, in our opinion, to the promotion of our general prosperity as u people, the perpetuation of our liberties, and our beloved Union. 1 his paper, therefore, will be purely Democratic in its principle®; ha ving for its object the diffusion ol equal rights, equal blessings, and equal burthens, thereby promoting the general happiness of the people; and to tins end will all our energies be directed. \\ ith regard to the great questions of policy which are now agitating the people ot the United respecting the currency, we unhesita tingly declnreour entire preference of the Independent Treasury system, irom our b. lief ot its strict constitutionality, and. in iis tendency, better calculated to promote the general prosperity of all classes, than any oth er which, in our view, can be con. cived. \\ e are strict constructionists of the Federal Constitution, and shall "" always oppose those splendid schemes,or ‘ American Systems’ of monop oly, which have ever characterised the policy of the Federal opposition, recognising no implied interpretations of that instrument, and believing that the 'GENERAL WELFARE’ of every portion of our wide-spread confederacy’, depends on a strict adherence to its plain and straightfor ward meaning, we sjiall not be sparing in our expositions and denuncia tions ol those daring attempts which have and are now being made bv the rcckleas and aspiring leaders of the Federal Party, to rend assunder this glorious Charter of our rights and liberties, and rear upon its ruins a splendid aristocracy of wealth and power. Earnestly advocating, therefore, as we shall always do, these great and fundamental principles of our government, which were conceived by a virtuous and patriotic ancestry while struggling for the rights and lib erties ot mankind, we shall, in all cases, give our support, tor public offi ces, to such men as we are assured shall have the patriotism, talents, i firmness and disposition to sustain and carry out those principles sue- ; cessfully. \\ ith all our zeal and ability, therefore, we shall advocate the re-election of MAR ITN VAN BUREN, for the next Presidential term, i with the fullest confidence in his exulted talents, integrity and patriotism, i convinced that upon his success depends, in a very great measure, th*; firm and lasting establishment of those glorious principles of our revolt!- | lion, so admirably acted upon by Washington, Jeflerson, Madison, and Jackson.' And for the second office in the gift of the American people, i we shall as cordially give our support to the Hon. John Forsyth, now j Secretary of Slate.’ Inannouncingour preference of these talented, patriotic, long-tried and ! approved statesmen, for the highest offices in the government, we feel a glowing confidence in the almost unanimous approval of our fellow citi zens of the West, with an abiding belief that they w ill rally around the standard thus raised, proudly unfurling to the breeze the names of these distinguished individuals. .Mechanics.—Under this head that large and respectable portion of our fellow ciuxont*, nrnong wbotti wuhuvajJiu .amor ofclassiim ourselves, shall have a hearing, W e invite them to the use of our columns. Their rights and interests must be sustained. Domestic and Foreign Intelligence.— Under these different heads will be found all important general intelligence, both at home and abroad. City — This head will embrace all matters and occurrences of interest, of every character, relating to, or transpiring w ithin the city. We shall reserve a large portion of our paper for .advertising Patrons, both of the city and country; and as we anticipate a numerous subscrip tion list and a w ide-spread circulation, it w ill be to the interest of adver tisers to appear-in ourcolumns. It is contemplated for this paper to be published daily, semi-weekly, and weekly, on the following TERMS.

EDWARD DELONY. August 13, 1839. . . O’ The Editor has made arrangements for furnishing the most impor tant and interesting Texas news, from various points in that Republic, at the earliest moments. PROSPECTUS OF THE &s & x a b , A. MORMNG PAPER, PUBLISHED IN AUGUSTA, GEORGIA, BY PRITCHARD & BUSH, rpHE DAILY NEWS is devoted to the dissemination of all the im .l portant intelligence of the day, foreign and domestic. The political complexion of the News will be decidedly democratic. It will be ever found contending for the legitimate rights of the people— and will sustain any party whose object is the promotion of the best in terests of American Democracy, and will support any man whose exer tions are dirc< ted to forward the same glorious principles. But to any other party, or to any other men, we shall never contribute our mite to advance or elevate. Wc shall support Martin Van Buren for the Presidency in preference to Henry Clay. We know that Mr. Van Buren, if elected President, will sustain the South, not only in her domestic institutions, but against the endeavors soon to be adopted to injure her agricultural interest. The administration of Mr. Van Buren has already done much to advance the prosperity and happiness of our country; and we feel every disposition to allow him to continue another term in the discharge of the duties which he has thus far so creditably performed. Evon awarding to Mr. Clay ail that his most ardent friends claim for him, we cannot see any good reason why he should supercede Mr. Van Buren, at the approach ing election. Mr. Van Buren, by the high minded policy pursued in the Canadian difficulties, and the more threutenihg troubles growing out of the boundary question between the goverumeht of Maine nnd the autho rities of the province of New Brunswick, has won the confidence and support of the American people. A war would have been, as it ever has, and ever will be, destructive to tqe agriculture and commerce of the South, and any means consistent with the honor and character of our country, should always be adopted to avoid collision with foreign pow ers; and more particularly with a governin mt whose manufactures con tribute so mm h to out interest and prosperity as that of England. The commercial department of onr paper shall receive considerable at tention. We will give regular quotations of Cotton during the busin ss season, of the Augusta, Charleston, Savannah, New York, Mobile, New Orleans, and other markets in our own country, and the state of the prin cipal European markets. Our means of obtaining commercial informa tion will not be regarded as limited, by those who may oonsult our col umns from the middle of September to June. No inconsiderable portion of our columns, lime, and attention will he devoted to Domestic news. The daily important, us well as very ludi crous trials in our higher us well as Infcrioi Courts of Judicature, shall hr thrown before our readers. As they me matters on public record, wo will transcribe them into ourpnper. They w ill prove interesting to ma ny of our rentiers, both tor temporary perusal, as well as for subsequent reference; and will, no doubt, have a very happy tendency in correcting or confirming the daily mushroom statements that grow out of public tri als of every kind. We shall endeavor to conduct the Daily News in a lively nnd agreea ble manner, and never reflect upon any person or party without cause. The vices and follies of the ago arc just subjects of ridicule, nnd when ever we feel disposed “ we will show them up.” TERMS: The Daily News will be sent to subscribers nt $5 a yenr, payable in I advance. Persons who reside in the country, can be furnished with the I paper on any of its dtiys of publication, at terms that may bo known by application at the publication office. Single copies, five cents. Advertisemenfs conspicuously inserted at 75 cents for the first, and 37| cents for ever;, subsequent insertion of a square, (12 lines) or less.

I MAY NOT WHOLLY DIE! I may uot wholly die! the green leaved tree Muy by the lightning’s fearful stroke be rent— its lordly trunk way to the earth be bent And die—but there is no yuch death for 114. The violet that rears its modost head, XVet w ith the dew-drops of the opening morn, Ere may lie upon the sword upturn, And furies sing a requiem o’er the dead. The bird that sings its evening melody, Whose rrwect voice echoes thro’ the depths of nuht May cease its music n, li -‘ing i-ht, And on the turf with bhuu•-tuiacd plumage lie. 1110 “dear Gazelle,” whose and melting c.< beemed a bespeak a human heart beneath, May lie a stiffened corpse upon the heath, Ere one day's sun eau 4 usa uliivvurt the sky. As the tree fullcth shall it rest for aye— When the flower droops it will not bloom again Nor will the bird by some rude archer slain, Awake and sing—but I can never die! * l my veins my blood may cease to fly— I hough from my eye the lustre may depart, And the quick pulses stop within the heart, 1 ct, even in death, L cannot wholly die! Is there no region where the bird may flee, XV hen the fell shaft is plunged within its bretuU, Up ’mid the summer clouds, and ever rest? Nona for the bird—and yet there’s one for ma. would live to be the slave es senso. And seek to lengthen out his puny life ? Gust off the world, with all its care aud strife, I repare for Heaven by humble penitence. MISCELLANEOUS. From tkc Ohio II kig. A THRILLING DESCRIPTION. His was the thnadcr—his the avenging red The wrath—the delegated voice of God XX hicli shook tho nations through his lips.—{btron. 1 riend Smith : Xhe following thrilling description of a serman preached in .’Jansfield, iu this State, by die venerable Russell Bowden, some three or four years before that great and good man’s death, will, 1 I apprehend, be read widi interest, by many of your i subscribers, who were personally acquainted widi and knew how to appreciate the worth o! that abledefend er of divine' revel ition. i find it incorporatad in a tale published in Dover Telegraph, entitled “The Buckeye, or scenes at Medfield, by Gottfried, the au thor of Indian punishments.” ‘ Mr. Gottfried,’ said my cousin Magdalena, ‘ I have ju>t been informed that Mr. Bowden is to preach in the village this evening, would you not like to hear him?’ ‘ 1 would,’ returned I, for much had I heard of the | eloquence ol this sell-taught and truly great man. | ‘ iMuch as 1 have heard of Mr. Bowden,’ said I, I ‘ I have yet to learn to what sect he- belongs.’ ‘ The Methodist Episcopal church ;’ answered Mrs. WeSterfeldt. ‘ Where does he reside ?’ inquired I. ‘ In Medfield ; but it is seldom he preaches here, as he is superintendent or agent of the Wyandot mis sion, as well as presiding elder of this district, the du- Mes of which several offices, require his almost con stant absence.’ ‘What is his age,’ inquired I. ‘ He cannot be more than thirty-five, but as that bell rings for the meeting, I had better prepare,’ said Mrs. Westerfeldt leaving the parlor. In a few minutes more Magdalena took my arm. and we proceeded in the direction of the inethodist church. 1 soon perceived, after our entrance, that Mr. Bow den had not yet arrived, as the pulpit w’as entirely unoccupied; the audience turned their heads, and looked towards the door, at every new arrival. I had abundant time to observe many of the different indi viduals composing the crowded audience; the citi zens were crowded together without regard to sex. rank or profession, so intense and general was the in terest excited on the occasion. Hi re you might have seen the facetious merchant wedged with the du*ky smith, into a seat scarcely large enough for one per son, they having dropped the yard-stick and hammer for a short time, to hear the clergyman’s wonderous eloquence—there you might have seen the dandy clerk, jammed into the narrow space of a child’s rocking chair, sustaining on his knee the weight of some hardy farmer in home-spun, and the gay co quettes seated in the same pew with the whitened mil ler. All eyes were once more turned tow'ards the door, as the members of the bar (as I was in:or«ied by my cousin) accompanied by the judges of the court, entered and made their way up to the only place yet unoccupied, they had not been seated more than five minutes, before a party of some thr»» or four clergymen entered, and slowly made their way toward# the pulpit. The general b zt and confusion which usually prevails a» large meetings at one* sub sided. I was not long in singling out a large portly looking man, with fair hair and blue eyes,' as Mr. Bowden. ‘ And that,’ thought I, ‘ is the great Rusnell Bow den,' gazing upon his prepossessing countenance, as he walked into the pulpit, followed by a small, thin, sickly looking man. ‘ And well may he oe a jrsat man,’ thought I as he roiled his magnanimous eye over the congregation, before taking his seat. A few minutes alter the clergy had seated themselves in the pulpit, the thin, weakly looking person, who had last I entered, arose and in a faint, inharmonious voice, r®>- quested that the doors and windows, which were lite rally blocked up with living forms, might lie kept open as much as possible ; he then proceeded to read a hymn, in the same weak, grating voice, which pain ed the listener. ‘ Can it be possible,’ thought I, • that I am mistaken ?’ and I whispered to Mrs. Wester feldt— “ Is it possible that that scawney little fellow is the great Mr. Bowdc.i ?’ ‘ Yes sir, that is Mr. Rondanswered she, and I raised my head in astonishment and gazed at him again, but only to .t. . myse'i that he was one of the most iiiihlu rent looking men I had ever seen be hind the sacr< d desk. He was about five t'ei t s \su or eight inches in height, Ip ;,! th > no ■. minted, his chest de pressed, h vthoiv ’ . ■ bowed or inelined for- ward.
