THE GREAT WESTERN.
LIBERTY AM) THE UNION FOREVER—THE PRINCIPLES OF WASHING
TON, JEFFERSON AND JACKSON.
"jTN proposing to establish in the city of New Orleans, a new nnpt-r itn-
□ di r the above title, wc are encouraged by the glowihg ano magnifi
cent prospects whii h 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 cun ever expect to reach. Nor are
these prospects confine <1 alone to New Orleans. When we take into
view the numerous wule-sprend, and extended anus 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 nature could
form them; and a population of hardy, industrious freemen, increasing
with every hour of the 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 the face of the globe; and that New Or
leans, as a commercial city, ma v, nt no very distant period, claim the
proud Hppcllution of Mistress ol the XV’orld.
With 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 general centre of the almost
entire commercial business of the “ Great H ca7,” and designing that our
paper shall embrace all intelligence of importance, of the United Stales
and of Foreign Governments, it will be found especially interesting and
useful lo every class of our fellow citizens throughout the Western
countr.y
The Great XX’kstern 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 will
also extend its notice to the intcrestsof and to City Neice, Sfc.
Commerce.—'l’hc larger portion of this paper will be strictly commer
cial. Alt intelligence of importance of this character, both domestic ami
foreign, will be summed up ut as early a moment as possible, so as to af
ford our mercantile patrons every description of news which they cun
, desire, under this head.
, Agricultu re.—While every other branch of industry in the United
States is receiving fresh andencouraging impulses for perseverance, this
most important of all, seems to Hag 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 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 head we shall give the general
political intelligence of the whole country ; while we, as the conductors
of a public journal, are determined, without fear, favor, or affection, to
support, with nil our zeal, such measures of policy as alone will tend, in
our opinion, to the promotion of our general prosperity as a people, the
perpetuation ot our liberties, and our beloved Union.
1 his paper, therefore, will be purely Democratic in its principles; ha
ving for its object the diffusion of equal rights, equal blessings, and equal
burthens', therein promoting the general happiness of the people; and to
this end will all our energies be directed.
With regard to the great questions of policy which arc now agitating
the people ot the I nited States, respecting the currency, we nnhesita
tingly dechireour etitirc preference of the independent 'l’reasnry system,
troin 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, can be com eived.
XX 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 XX'ELFARE’ of every portion of our wide-spread
confederacy, depends on a strict adhcrance to its plain and straightfor
ward meaning, wc shall not be sparing in our expositions and detium ia
tions oi those daring attempts which have and are new being made bv
the recklcAs and aspiring leaders of the Federal Party, to rend nssunder
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, for public offi
ces, to such men as we are assured shall have the patriotism, talents,
firmness and dispositioii to sustain and carry out those principles suc
cessfully. XVith all our zeal and nbilitv, therefore, we shall ailvocntc the
re-election of MARTI N XAN BUREN, for the next Presidential term,
with the f ullest confidence in his exalted talents, integrity and patriotism,
convinced that upon bis success depends, in a very great measure, the
firm and lasting establishment of those glorious principles of our revolu
tion, so admirably uct<»d upon by XX’ashington, Jeffer.-on, Madison, and
Jac’.son. Ami for the second office in the gift of the Aincricnu people,
we shall ascordinlly give our support to the lion. Juhn Forsyth, now
Secretary of State.
I nannoiim ing our preference of these talent' <l, patriotic, long-tried and
approved statesmen, for the hig'wst offices in the government, wc feel a
glowing confidence in the alm -r iitmiiiinoiis approval of our fellow citi
zens ot the West, withan » aiding belief that they will rally around the ,
standard thus raised, proudly unfurling to the breeze the names of these
distinguished individuals.
Mechanics.—l nder'this head that large and respectable portion of
our fellow citizens, among whom we have the honor of classing ourselves,
shall have a hearing. XX e invite them to the useul 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 ami abroad.
(7/y/ Neirs.— This head will embrace all matters and occurrences of
interest, of every character, relating to, or transpiring within the city.
XX'c shall reserve a large portion of our pnper for Advertising Patrons,
both of the city nnd countiy; and as we anticipate a numerous subscrip
tion list and a wide-spread circulation, it will be to the interest of adver
tisers to appear in ourcohimns.
It is contemplated ibr this paper to be published daily, semi-weekly,

TERMS.

PROSPECTUS OF THE
BBR & T R%■ w 8 »
A MOIt MN G PAPER, PUBLISHED IN AUGUSTA, GEORGIA,
BY PRITCHARD & BUSH,
fill IE DAILY NEW’S is devoted to the dissemination of nil the im
portant intelligence of the day, foreign and domestic.
The political complexion of the News will be decidedly democratic.
It will bo ever found contending for die 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 directed to forward (tie same glorious principles. But to any
other party, or to any other men, wc shall never contribute our mite to
advarce or elevate.
W r e shall support Martin Van Buren for the Presidency in preference
to Henry (’lay. W’e know that Mr. Van Buren, if elected President, will
sustain the tiouth, not only in li?r domestic institutions, but against'the
endeavors soon to be adopted to injure her agricultural interest. The
administration of Air. 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 fur so creditably performed. Evtfn awarding to Air.
Clay all that his most ardent friends claim for him, wc 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 governmcht of Maine and 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 the 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 w ith a government whose manufactures con
tribute so much to out interest and prosperity as that of England.
The commercial department of our 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
