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.

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 cipal European markets. Our means of obtaining commerciai informa tion will not be regarded as limited, by those who may consult our col umns from the middle of September to .lune. No inconsiderable portion of our columns, time, and attention will be devoted to Domestic news. The daily important, as well as very ludi crous trials in our higher as well as Inferior Courts of Judicature, shall be thrown before our renders. As thev are matters on public record, wc will transcribe them into our paper. I’hey will prove interesting to ma ny of our renders, both for 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 n lively and agreea ble manner, and never reflect upon any person or party w ithout cause. The vices and follies of the age are just subjects of ridicule, and when ever we feel disposed “ we trill allow them up,” TERMS: The Daily News will be sent to subscribers nt $5 a year, payable in advance. Persons who reside in the country, can be furnished with the paper on any of its days of publication, at terms that may be known by application at the publication office. Single copies, five cents.
