LIBEKfV AND THE UNION FORKVER—THE PRINCIPLE* OF WAtUJING TON, JEFFERSON AND JACKMON. IN proposing to ef*tnblii*h in the city of New Orlentn*, n new pap.-r un der the above title, we are encouraged by tbe glowing and magnifi cent nroMpectH which peem to hover around tbi* mighty Emporium ol the West, pointing it* ileKtinies to a summit of commercial grandeur, u which no other city in the world con ever expect to reach. Nor an theae prospect* confined alone to New Orlennn. When wc take inr view the tiuineroijß widespread, and extended tirnis of the noble MiaaiK aippi, winding theniHelvet* through an extent of country bo immenxelj. vuhi; embracing the moet fertile mol productive region perhapH in the known world ; with a climate and pcenery uh beautiful aa nature ceidi’ form them; and a population of hardy, induatrioua freemen, increaein? w ith every hour of the <lay, we do not heaitate in declaring our opinion thiit the West is destined, at an early dav f to be oi* of the finest, tin noblest eectiom* of country on the fare of the globe; and that New Or leans, tin a commercial city, may, at no very distant period, claim tbe proud appellation of Mistress of the World. W ith Mich a field, then, an is spread before us, we cannot but feelcon -•cioitH of our teiicceea in the important labors which we are about to un dertake. Located, as we shall be, nt the general centre of the almost entire commercial business of the “ Great H r*/,” and designing that our paper shall embrace nil intelligence of importance, of the United State and of Foreign Governments, it will be found especially interesting and useful to every class of our fellow citizens throughout the Western countr.y The Great Western will be devoted mainly to Commerce, will support the interests of Agriculture, nnd w ill take its political posi tion and plant its standard upon the broad parapet of Democracy ; it will also extend its notice to the interests of Mechanic*, nnd to City New*, Commerce.—-The larger portion of this paper will bostrictlv commer cial. All intelligence of importance of this character, both domestic an*! foreign, will be summed up at ns early a moment as possible, as to af ford our mercantile patrons every description of news which th*-y cau desire, under this head. , Agriculture.—While every other brunch of industry in the United btates is receiving fresh andencouraging 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 tion to which it is so pre-eminently entitled, is left to grope its way, sim ply by the dint of that perseverance am’ unwearied industry so < har. c tcnstic ol 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 °t our citizens is interested. Under this head w e shall give the general political intelligence of the w hole country ; w hile we, as the conductors oi a public journal, are determined, w ithout fear, favor, or affection, to support, w ith all our zeal, such measures of policy as alone will tend, iu our opinion, to the promotion of our general prosperity as a people, the peypetuatimi of our liberties, and our beloved Union. 1 his paper, therefore, will be purely Democratic in its principles; ha ying tor its object the diffusion of right*, equal bte**inge, aud equal burthens, thereby promoting the general happiness of the people; aud to tins end w ill all out energies be directed. \\ ith regard to the great questions of policy wbii bare now agitating the people oi the Lnited States, respecting the currency, wc unbesita tingly d*'clare<)ur entire preference oi the Independent Treasury system, iroiii our belie! ot its strict constitutionality, ami in its calculated to promote the general prosperity of all classes, than any oth er which, in our view’, can be conceived. \\ e are stiict constructionists of the Federal Constitution, and shall away s oppose those splendid schemes, or ‘ American Sy stems’of monop o. i, whuh have ever characterised the policy of the Federal opposition, i x’ogmsj.ig no implied iuterpretuiions ot that instrument, and believing th tt the GENERAL \\ ELi- ARE’ oi every portion of our wide-spread • ontederncy, depends on u strict adherance to its plain and straightior wurd meaning, we shah not be sparing in our expositions and denuncia tions oi those during attempts which have and are now being made bv ihe reckleas and aspiiiug leaders of the Federal Party, to rend assunder ibis glorious ( hui ter oi our rights and liberties, and rear upon its ruins a splendid aristocracy of wealth and power. Earnestly ad*, oca Ung, therelore, as we shall always do, these great ami tmidauienul prim iples ot our government, w hich were conceived bv a virtuous and patriotic ancestry while struggling for the rights and lib el ties ot mankind, we shall, in ail cases, give our support, for public offi ces, to sue.; men us we are assured shall have the patriotism, talents, ununess und dispositio.i to sustain and carry out those principles suc cessfully. \\ ith all our zeal and ability, therefore, we shall advocate the re-election of MARI IN VAN BUREN, for the next Presidential term, with the fullest confidence in his exalted talents, integrity and patriotism, convinced that upon his success depends, in a very great measure, the turn and lasting establishment of those glorious principles of our revolu tion, so admirably acted upon by Washington, Jelferson, .Madison, and Jackson. And tor the secund office in the gift of tbe American people, we shall ascordially give our support to the Hon. John Forsyth, new secretary ot Stale. ’ I nannoimeing our preference of these talented, patriotic, long-tried and anpri" - d .talesmen, for the highest offices in the government, we feel a glowing confidence iu the almost unanimous approval of our fellow citi zens of the West, with an abiding belief that thev will rally around the t; '.ijnnl thus raised, proudly unfurling to die breeze the names of these distinguished individuals.

Hut to am other party, or to any other men, weshttl never contribute our mite to advance or elevate. We shall support Martin Van Bitten for the Presidency in pref renew to Henry Clay. We know that Mr. Van Buren, if elected President, will sustain the South, not only in har <1 me.-tie institutions, but agiiiuM the endeavors soon to be adopted to injure her agricultural interest. The administration of Mr. Van Buren has already done much to advance ihe prosperity mid happiness of our country; and we lie! every disposition to allow him tn continue another term in the discharge of the duties which he lias thus fur so creditably performed. Even awarding to Mr. Clay all that his most ardent friends claim for him, we cauuot’scc anv good reason why he should supercede Mr. Van Buren, at the apnroacli tngclei tion. Mr. Van Buren, by the high minded policy pursued in the t'niindinn difficulties, and the more threutenihg troubles’growing out of the bonndury question between the goverumcht of Maine and ihe autho rities of the province of New Brunswick, lias won the confidence and support of the American people. A war would have been, as it ever has and ever will be, destructive to ths agriculture and commerce of the South, mid any means consistent with the honor mid character of our country, should always be adopted to avoid collision with foreign pow ers; mid more narticulnriy with a governm ’tit whoso manufactures con tribute so much to our interest and prosperity as that of England.

None dared to disbelieve tho state ments of so m.itiv respectable witnesses, and. although some few doubted that the lights appeared tn the church through any supernatural agency, ti e belief was almost universal in die neiehlioiliood that the < Luu h was haunt ed. Gentlemen of intelligeme and lierve, whose pro fession il voc lion seemed to bid defi n ee to ghosts and ghostvtories, influenced by the fears of their h male set yams, aud th,- f-mal. p inion of their ho: seboids, almost irresistibly yielded to the geneia) bclif, and pave evi dence nf their credulity by sucii inquiries t:s “I wo vdrr if any person is interred in that <l.nn.lt,” and “| H.iuk there atv a Jew graves iu tbe yard close by tlm pulpit— art there not?”&c. On a certain night, nat more than two or three weeks igo. a gentleman testditig very near this suspected haunt >f ghostly visitants, was informed that ti e awful lights had >een seen that very night by not only the ladies and female servants of his fnnilv, hut bv a gentleman then lodging in the house. The ladies and servants had not retired, and seemed unwilling to go to bed. d'he ntle man lodger, however, had retired to rest.
