IN proposing to establish in the city of New Orleans, a new paper un der the above title, wc uro 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 hit these prospects confined alone to New Orleans. When wo 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 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, 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 foel 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 tho almost entire commercial business of the “ Great 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 countr.y The Great Western will be devoted mainly to Coinniercc, 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 t) the interests of Mechanics, and to City Aeivs, Sfc. Commercl.—-The larger portion us this paper will bo strictly commer cial. All intelligence of importance of this character, both domestic and foreign* will be summed up at as curly a moment as possible, so as to af ford <>nr mercantile patrons every description of news which they cun desire, under this head. Agriculture.— W hile every other branch of industry in the United States is receiving fresh andcncouraging impulses fur perseverance, this most important ot all, seems to flag behind the general march of im provement and prosperity; and, instead us being placed at the head of our general national policy, and receiving that fostering cure 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 oar especial care to sustain the interests of this elass of our fellow citizens. I’olitics.—This department of our paper is one iu which every class of our citizens is interested. L nder this head wc shall give the general political intelligence of the whole country ; while we, as the conductors, ot a public journal, arc determined, without fear, favor, or affection, to support, w ith 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. I his paper, then foi e, will be purely Democratic n\ its principles; ha ving io. its object the diliusion of cyizat rights, equal blessings, and equal burthens, thereby promoting the general happiness of the people; and to this end will all our energies be directed. \\ ith regard to the great questions of policy which are now agitating the people ot the United blutes, respecting the currency, we unhesita tingly declarcour entire preference of the Independent Treasury system, from 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. \V e are strict construct oni.-ts of the Federal Constitution, and shall always oppose thus.- 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 onr w’ds-sprcttd confederacy, depends on a strict adherance to its plain and straightfor ward meaning, we shall not be sparing in our expositions and denuncia tions of those daring attempts w hich 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 of 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 ami patriotic ancestry while struggling for the rights and lib erties of 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 disposition to sustain and carry out those principles suc cessfully. ith all our zeal and ability, therefore, we shall advocate the re-election of MAR'i IN VAN BL KEN, fur 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 firm and last ing establishment of those glorious principles of our revolu tion, so admirably acted upon by Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and Jackson. And for the second office in the gift of the American people, we shall as cordially give our support to the Hon. John Forsyth, now Secretary of Slate. hiannouncing our preference of these talented, patriotic, long-tried and approved statesmen, for the highest offices in the government, we feel a glowing confidence in the alm .-t unanimous approval of our fellow citi zens of the \\ est, with an • aiding belief that they will rally around the standard thus raised, proudly unfurling to the breeze the names of these distinguished individuals.

PROSPECTUS OF THE bax & t nb w s 4MORMNGPAP>. R, PUB LIS«ID IN A5 G VST A, »IVR« U BY PRITCHARD & BUSH, fSAHE DAILY NEWS is devoted to the dissemination es all the im- JL portant intelligence of the day, foreign and domestic. The political complexion of the News will be decidedly democratic. It will beever 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 arc dire* ted to forward the same glorious principles. But to any other party, or to any other men, we shad never contribute our mite to udvai cc or elevate. \V e shall support Martin Van Buren for the Presidency in preference to Henry Clay. We know that Mr. Van Buren, if electcdPresident, will sustain the South, not only in liar d rncstic 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 fee! every disposition to allow him to continue another term in the discharge of the duties which he has thus far so creditably i crlbrmed. Even awarding to Air. (’lay all that his most anient friends claim for him, wo cannot see any good reason why he should supercede Air. Van Buren, at the approach ing clot lion. Air. Van Buren, by the high minded policy pursued in the Canadian difficulties, and the more threatenihg troubles growing out of the boundary question between the governmcht of Maine and the autho rities ol the province of New Brunswick, has won the confidence ami support ol the American people. A war would have been, as it over 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 with a govern in mt whose manufacturescon tiibutc so much to mu 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 husin -ss season,of the Augusta, Charleston, .Savannah, Now York, Alobilc, Now (Means, and other markets in our own country, and the state of the prin cipal European markets. Our means of obtaining commercial informa tion w ill not be regarded as limited, by those who may consult our Col umns from the middle of September to June. No inconsiderable portion of our columns, time, and attention will bo devoted to Domestic new s. The daily important, ns well as very ludi crous trials in our higher as well as Inferioi Courts of Judicature, shall be thrown before our readers. As they are matters on public rccoid, we will transcribe them into our paper. They will prove interesting to ma ny of our readers, 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 a lively mid agreea ble maimer, and never reflect upon any person or party without cause.

From the Charleston Courier. ‘THE HEAVEN OF HEAVENS CANNOT CONTAIN THEE. r Splendid and all-glorions is His mansion, who knows no home, sa\’e the boundless'universe. Man builds the stately temple, magnificent with sculptured arches, lofty columns and vista’d aisles.- Paintings, representing the wonderful in nature and the triumphs of art, hang from the walls. Ou the structure, the architect spreads all his skill: this is called the house of God. We are impressed, upon our entrance, with a feeling ol awe ; —we feel as though tlie genius of ho liness presided there. Let then the deep full swelling organ, accompanied by a thousand voices attuned in harmony, burst upon our ears ; —the effect is irresisti ble; —we exclaim “God is ih his holy temple: let all the earth be glad ; let all bow down and adore.” Y r et we shall find another temple for our God. Look to the azure vault above; —Yvhether in the noontide glory of day, or when night mantles the earth with the “raven down of darkness,” —when the rnoon is abroad, companioned by her starry train. I’he sky, thus adorned, might well canopy the abode ot the Lternal; —and yet, little does it bear compar ison with that which has for bounds illimitable space, far beyond the sphere of mortal vision, enlightened by an infinity of suns. There is no darkness; —it is a world of light. It knows no time, for there is eter nity. Poised—sustained, world on tvorld—one hand controls, directs, and governs all. Among them he dwells—changeless—Eternal! It is good for us to dwell upon the majesty of God. It elevates our thoughts, enlarges our conceptions, and makes us more susceptible to the beauty and gran deur of creation. We see ourselves surrounded with all lovely things ; —we observe the order of nature; our minds, elevated by joy, or filled w ith hope, endu ed with all passions—capable of soaring aloft, and dwelling in fancy in the future heaven that awaits us. The more our thoughts linger among the flowers of this lovely scene—the more we look into our hearts and know ourselves, —the more nearly do we ap proach our Creator, and become worshippers in that Temple, “not made with hands, eternal in the Hea vens!” If on the wings of the morning, i flee to tne utter most bounds of the earth, Thou art tliere. If i dive to the depths of the sea, there still shall thin* itand up hold me. I cannot flee from thy presence. Would that this thought were ever with me ! Conscious that 1 could not be alone—that an all seeing eye was ever upon me ; knowing that it was his nature ever to de light in purity of mind and gooduees of purpose, how could temptation lead me estray ?—or vice, where would be thy charm? I stand upon the shore of the sea; the winds blow around me; terrible darkness overshadows all things; thunder and lightning breaks at intervals; tlie waves lash the shore ; lam alone. Such solitude is good for man. Accustomed as we have become to a certain order, we think not that the every day scenes of life are under His controlling power, and we become in different ; but here we are brought into the manifest presence of God. When alone, in such a scene, lam become, as it were, a part of the universe. I hold converse with the soul of nature. No longer a free agent, another influence is upon me, too strong to be opposed; forgetful of every thing most dear to my thoughts and feelings. The ruins of a former world —empires once powerful noYv shattered and decayed, The thundering cataract—the roaring flood—the fear ful earthquake; all things awful or sublime, I have heard or rear! of, pass in review before me: but let me linger here as long as I may, still the drend thought! —there is Otic who knows no change—on whom no ruin may fall; ever new and never-failing glories around about him, and this being is God—succeeds and swallowing up all the rest. The succession of seasons, so grateful to man, the harmonious course of the heavenly bodies, that bring us light and tvarmth, the successive generations of men are all images of eternity, and so is the great sea, “the dark-heaving, boundless and sublime sea” —the type of eternity. Yet the al! pervading, over ruling spirit is God. How are the heavens sustained? Why resolve the stars in order that knows no derangement? And this for countless ages. tVhy do the clouds shelter us from the scorching rays of the sun, and why do the same drop down in dew and rain to refresh the earth? Has :;he ever ceased to supply from her bounteous bosom sustenance toman? VV hence comes it that all things teem witli lite; iu tlie air. the bird—in the sea, the fish —on earth, man anti inferior animals? They live,
