OUR CONSC IE N C E—O UR COUN TR Y OUR PARTY.
MILLEDGEVILLE, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 1, 1839.
THE GREAT WESTERN.
LIBERTY AND THE UNION FOREVER—THE PRINCIPLES OF WASHING
TON, JEFFERSON AND JACKSON.
IN proposing to establish in the city of New Orleans, ft now pnp>-r un
der the above title, we me encouraged by the glowing ano magnifi
cent prospci.iH whi< h seem to hover around this mighty Emporium of
the West, pointing its destinies io a summit of commercial grandeur, to
which no other city in the world can ever expect to reach. Nor are
these prospects confined alone to New Orleans. When we take into
view the numerous wide-spread, and extended arms of the noble Missis
«ippi, winding themselves through an extent of < ountry so immensely
vast; embracing the most fertile and productive region perhaps in the
known world; with a climate and scenery as beautiful as nature could
form them; and a population of hardy, industrious freemen, increasing
with every hour oi lhe day, 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 lhe 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 oi our success in lhe important labors which we are about to un
dertake. Located, as we shall br, ut the general centre of the almost
entire commercial business of the “ (Ureal 11 <•«/,” and designing that our
paper shall embrace all intelligence of importance, of the United States
anil oi Foreign Governments, it will be found especially interesting and
useful to every class ol our fellow citizens throughout the Western
countr.y
The Great Western will be devoted mainly to
will siippmt the mt rests oi and will take its political posi
tion and plant ns >tu:idurd upon the broad parapet of Democracy ; it will
also extend its notice to the interests of A/ecZirrMtcs,nnd to City News,
Commerce.—The larger portion of this paper will be strictly commer
cial. All inlt'iiigeuce oi importanc eof this character, both domestic ami
foreign, will be. sumii < ci up al as carl) a moinent as possible, so as to af
ford our mercantile pinions every description of news which th. y can
desire, under this head.
, Agriculture.—While every other branch of industry in the United
States is receiving fre>li undeucouraging impuisesforperseverance,this
most important ol nil, seems to flag behind the general march oi im
provement and prosperity ; mid, instead oi 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 lo grope its way,sim
ply by the dint of that perseverance and unwearied industry sd charac
teristic of our hardy countrymen.
It will be ohr especial cure to sustain the interests of this class of our
fellow citizens.
Politics.—This department of our paper is one in which every class
of our citizens is interested. Under this head we shall give the general
political intelligence of the whole country; while we, as the conductors
| of a public journal, are determined, w ithout tear, favor, or affection, to
support, with all our zeal, such measures <»t policy as alone will tend, in
our opinion, to the promotion oi our general prosperity as a people, the
p rpetuution of our liberties, and our beloved ( nioii.
'l'his paper, therefore, will be purely Democratic in its principles; ha
ving tor its object lhe ditfusion ol equal rights, equal blessings, and equal
burthens, thereby promotinglhe general happiness ui lhe people; and to
this end will all our energies be direct 'd.
W’ith regard to the great questions ol policy which are now agirating
the people of the United States, respecting the currency, we unhesita
tingly declareour entire preference of the Independent Treasury system,
from our belief of its strict constitutionality , and in its tendency, better
calculated to promote lhe general piosperity ol ail classes, than any oth
er which, in our view, cun be coin eived.
We are strict constructionists of the Federal Constitution, and shall 1
always oppose those splendid schemes,or ‘ American Sy sieins’of monop
oly, which have ever characterised lhe policy of the Federal opposition,
recognising no implied interpretations of that instrument, and believing
that lhe, ‘GENERAL WELFARE’ of every portion of our wide-spread
confederacy, depends on a strict adherence to its plain and straigntfor
vyard meaning, we shall not be sparing in our expositions and denuncia
tions of those daring attempts which have and are now being made by
the reckless and aspiring leaders of the Federal Party, io rend assunder
this glorious Charter of our rights and liberties, and rear upon its ruins
a splendid aristocracy ut wealth and power.
Earnestly advocating, therefore, us we shall always do, these great
and fundamental principles of our government, which were conceived by
a virtuous and patriotic ancestry while snuggling lor the rights and lib
erties of mankind, vve shall, in all cases, give our support, tur public offi
ces, to such men us we are assured shall have the patriotism, talents,
thinness and disposition to sustain and carry out those principles suc
cessfully. With all our zeal and ability, therefore, we shall advocate the
re election of MARTIN VAN BLKI2N, for lhe next Presidential term,
with the fullest confidence in his exalted talents, integrity and patriJnsm,
con .meed that upon hi< success depends, in a very great measure, the
firm and lasting establishment of those glorious principles of our revolu
tion, so udmirubly acted upon by Washington, Jellerson, .Madison, and
Jackson. And for the second office in tiie gift of lhe Aineiican people, ■
we shall ascordially give our support to lhe Hon. John Forsyth, now
Secretary of Stale.
Inannouncing our preference of these talent- d, patriotic, long-trie ’ and
approved statesmen, for the highest offices in lhe government, we t el a
glowing confidence in the almost unanimous approval of our fellow citi
zens of the West, withan abiding belief that they will rally around the
standard thus raised, proudly uniurlmg lo the breeze the names of these
distinguished hbinl-a.
Mechanics.—Under this head that large and respectable portion of
our fellow citizens, among whom we have the nonor ot classing ourselves, I
shall have a hearing. \V e invite them to the use of our columns. J heir
rights and interests must be sustained.
Domestic and Foreign Intelligence.— Under these different heads will
be found all important gi neral intelligence, both at home and abroad.
L't’/y Ae/r«.—l’hi- head will embrace all mutters and occurrences of
interest, of every character, relating to, or transpiring within the city.
We shall reserve a large portion of our paper for Advertising Patrons,
both of the « ity and count y ; and as vve anticipate a numerous subscrip
tion list and a wide-spread circulation, it will be io the interest of adver
tisers to appear in uurcolumns.
it is contemplated for this paper to be published daily, setni-weelJy,

A MORNING PAPER, PUBLISHED IN AU G UST A, GEORGIA,
BY PRITCHARD & BUSH,
fIHIE DAILY NEW S is devoted to the. dissemination of all lhe im
-1. portant intelligence of the day, foreign and domestic.
I he political complexion ol lhe News will be decidedly democratic.
It will be ever found contending for the legitimate rights of the people—
and will sustain any parly w hose object is the promotion of the best in
terests of American Demociacy, and will support any man whose exer
tions are directed lo forward Hie same glorious principles. But to any
other party, or to any other men, we shad never contribute our mite to
advui ce or elevate. '
We shall support Mai tin Van Buren for the Presidency in preferenca
to Henry Clay . We know that Mr. Van Buren, if elected President, will
sustain the South, not only in Iwr <1 mestic in lit tious, hut against the
endeavors soon to.be adopted lo injure her agricultural interest. The
administration oi Mr. Van buren has already done much to advance the
prosperity and happiness ol onr country ; and we feel overv disposition
to allow hi.n to continue -inoiher term in the discharge ot th duties
which he has thu- tar so creditably i eriormed. Even awarding lo Mr
Clay all that hi most ardent friends claim for him, we cannot <ee anv
flood reason why he “hoiild supercede Mr. Van Buren, at the upproacli
ingclei tion. Mr. Van Buren, by the high minded policy pursued in the
Canadian difficulties, and the more threntenihg Irci hies growing out of
the boundary question between the governnicht of Maine and the autho
rities oi the province of New Brunswick, lias won the confidence and
support ol th ; American people. A war would have been, as it ever has.
and ever w ill be, d’straclive to the agriculture and commerce of th
and any menus 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 governm »nt whose manufactures con
tribute so much to mu interest and prosperity as that of England.
The commercial department of <mr paper shall receive considorablant
tention. We will give regular quotations of Cotton dating the hnsin ss
season, of the Augusta, Charfe-lon, -sivanmih, New <»rk, v.obile, New
Orle ans, and other markets in our own country, and th • state of th' priu
cipal European markets. Our means of obt lining comniercini informa
tion will not be regard •<! ns limit.,d. bv who mav consult our col
umns from the middle, of September to June.
No incoiisidarabie portion of our columns, time, and attention will be
devoted lo Domestic n .-vvs. The daily important, as well as very ludi
crous trials in our higher us well as Inferioi Courts of Jmlicature, shall
be thrown before our readers. As they are matters on public record, we
w ill transcribe them into our paper. 'l’hey will prove interesting to ma
ny of our readers, both fort» inporary 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 and agreea
ble manner, and never reflect upon any person or party without causp.
The vices ami follies of the are are just subjects of ridicule, and when
ever wcfecl disposed “tee will show them up."

“LIKE ORIENT PEARLS AT RANDOM STRUNG.”
A NAME IN THE SAND.
BY H. F. COIL D.
Alone I walked the ocean strand,
A pearly shell was in my hand,
J stooped and wrote upon the sand
My name, the year, the day.
As onward from the spot I
One lingering look I fondly cast:
A wave came rolling high and fast,
And washed my lines away.
Andpo methought, ’twill shortly be
With every mark on oarlh from me!
A wave of dark oblivion’s sea
Will sweep across the place
Where I have trod the sandy shore
Os time; and been, to be no more;
Os me—my day—the na<pe I bore;
To leave no irack nor trace.
And yet with him who counts the sands,
And holds the waters in his hands,
I know a lasting record stands.
Inscribed against my name.
Os all this mortal part has wrought;
Os all this thinking soul has thought,
And from those fleeting moments caught
For glory, or for shame!
THE PARTING OF SUMMER.
11 Y M RS . H E M A N S .
Thou’rt bearing hence thy roses,
Glad Summer; fire thee well ’
Thou’rt singing thy Inst melodics
In every wood and dell:
But in the golden sunset
Os thy latest lingering day,
Oh! tell me oe’r this chequered earth
How hast thou passed away ?
Brightly, sweet summer! brightly
Thine hours have floated by,
To the joyous birds of the Woodland boughs—
The rangers of lhe sky:
And brightly in the forests
'l'o the wild deer bounding free;—
And brightly midst the garden flowers,
To the happy murmuring bee.
Blit how to human bosoms,
With all their hopes and fears;
And Uioughts that make them eagle wings
To pierce the unborn years ?
Sweet Summer! to the captive
Thou hast flown in burning dreams
Os the woods, with all their hopes nod leaves,
And the blue, rejoicing streams;
To the wasted and the weary,
1 On the bed of sickness bound ;
in sweet, delicious fantasies,
I’hat changed with evefy sound;
To the sailor on the billows,
In longings wild and vain
For the gushing founts and breezy’ hills,
And the homes of earth again.
And unto me, glad Summer;
How bast thou flown to me ?
A/y chainless footsteps nought have kept
From thy haunts us song and |f^ e «
Thou hast flown in wavward vi ions,
In memories oi lhe Dead-
In shadows from a troubled heart,
O’er a sunny pathway shed; —
In brief and sudden strivings
To flight a weight aside;
’Midst these, thy melodies have ceased,
And all thy roses died !
But, oh! thou gentle Summer!
If I greet thy flowers once more,
Bring me again thy buoyancy,
Wherewith my soul should soar!
Give me to hail thy sunshine
With song-and spirit free;
Or in a purer land than this
'May our next meeting be!

o THE SULTAN AND HIS VIZIER.
An eastern sultan, who w as far from being a tyran 1
in his general way, got one day very mm h out o
temper. All the courtiers kept aloof as soon as they
-aw clouds on the visage of the Brother of the Sun;
but one careless attendant came near him abruptly,
and committed some slight offence. His highness
broke out into a torrent of rage, and ordered the of
fender to receive the bastinado forthwith, and then
to be impaled in front of the great gate of the
ptdace.
“ Lord of the faithful!” said his honest vizier, “ Jet
the fulfilment of thy commands be delayed, v> hile I
'elate thee a story.” The sultan gave a mute, surly
sign of assent, whereupon the vizi r began to relate
the following tale, for which, be it remarked, he drew
on his invention, not on memory:
“ A wealthy and benevolent mussuhnan bad rt
slave, whom he wished to make happy, so be gave
him bis freedom, and presented him, moreover, with
a good ship, loaded with costly merchandize. Ti e
bondman, now free from his fetters, sot sail joyfully for
his native country; but suddenly a storm arose, and
flung him on the shore of an uninhabited island. His
vessel went to pieces, and he was left to bemoan his
sad fate on the desert beach. At first he saw no tra
ces of human abode, but, as lie left the shore and
journeyed further on, he saw the walls ami towers of
1 large city in the distance. Joyfully he bent bis
steps towards it, and hardly had he reached the gates,
when he was met and welcomed with shouts of joy.
Countless multitudes of the inhabitants surrounded
him, bowed their faces to the dust, and cried, as with
>ne voice, ‘long live our sultan.’ ” The poor ship
wrecked freedman besought them not to make sport
of his misery; but he was assured by the rejoicing
multitude, that these honors were paid him in sober
arnest. Spite of his struggles, he was lifted by
‘‘orce into a splendid chariot, and conducted to a
palace glittering with gold and jewels. Here he was
dressed by officious attendants in royal robes, while a
rowd of grave dignified-looking old men, who de
lated themselves to be the great officers of state, did
him homage as their sovereign, and vowed eternal fi
lelity. So, whether he liked it or not, rule he must.
Te was little used, as your highness may imagine, to
tianaging the affairs of a great people, and would
tave cut but a sorry figure had it not been for a wise
tnd aged vizier, who always gave him prudent coun
sels to aid in his inexperience.
