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, a new paper un
der the above title, we are 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 are
these prospects confined alone to New Orleans. Whence take into
view the numerous wde-spread, and extended arms of lh?noble Missis
sippi, winding themselves through an extent of country so immensely
vast; embracing the most fertile and productive region perhaps in the
known worid; with a climate and scenery as beautiful as nature could
form them; and a population of hardy, industrious freemen, increasing
withe*ery hour of th« 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 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 u Great (t est,” 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 aud
useful to every class of our fellow citizens throughout lire Western
country
The’Great Westers will be devoted mainly to Commerce,
will support the interests of Agriculture, mid will take its political posi
tion and plant its standard upon the broad para|>et of Democracy ; it will
also extend its-notice t the interests of Mechanic*, and to City A : eic», bfc.
Commerce.—The larger portion of this paper will be strictly commer
cial. All intelligence oi importance of this character, both doincstic and
foreign, will be summed up ut as early a moment us possible, so as to af
ford our mercantile patrons every description of news which they can
desire, under this head.
Agriculture.— While every other branch of industry in the United
States is receiving fresh audencouragmg impulses for perseverance, this
most important of all, seems to flag behind the general march of im
ptovement and prosperity; and, instead ol 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 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, without four, favor, or affection, to
support, with all 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 of our liberties, and our beloved Union,
This paper, therefore, will be purely Democratic in its principles; ha
ving tor its object tile diffusion of equal rigid*, equal bletaings, and equal
burthen*, thereby promoting the general happiness of the people; and to
thjg end will all our energies be directed.
dßUtli regard to the great questions of policy which are now agitating
lliT people of the United States, respecting the currency, we unhesita
tingly declareonr entire preference of the Independent Treasury system,
from our belief of its strict constitutionality, and in its tendency, belter
calculated to promote the general prosperity of all classes, than any oth
er which, in our view, can be conceived.
We 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 WELFARE* oi every portion of ourwide-spread
confederacy, depends on a strict adherence to its plain and straightfor
ward meaning, we shall not be sparing iu our expositions and denuncia
tions of those daring attempts which have and are now being made bv
the reckless and aspiring leaders of the Federal Party, to 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, as we shaUsalways do, these great
and fundamental principles of our goverumenj* hich were conceived bv
a virtuous and patriotic ancestry while strujjliiig for the rights and lib
erties ot mankind, we shall, iu all 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. With all our zeal and ability, therefore, we shall advocate the
re-election of MARTIN VAN BUREN, lor 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 lasting 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 State.
Inantiounemg our preference of these talented, patriotic, long-tried and
approved statesmen, lor the hig'vest offices in the government, we feel a
glowing confidence in the alm ~t unanimous approval of our fellow citi
zens of the West, with an r aiding belief that they will rally around the
standard thus raised, proudly unfurling to the breeze the names of these
disliuguished individuals.
Mechanics.—Under this head that large and respectable portion of
our fellow citizens, among whom we have the nonor of classing ourselves,
shall have a hearing. VV e invite them to the use.of our columns. Their
rights and interests must be sustained.
Domestic and foreign Intelligence.— Under these different heads will
be found ail impormni general intelligence, both at home and'abroad.
City lieics.— This head will embrace all matters and occurrences of
interest, ot every character, relating to, or transpiring within the city.

both of the city and counliy; 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 ourcoluinns.

* MOUSING PAPER, PUBLISHED IN AUGUSTA, GEORGIA
BY PRITCHARD & BUSH,
THE DAILY NEWS is devoted to the dissemination of all the im
portant intelligence of the day, foreign mid domestic.
The political complexion of the News will be decidedly democratic.
It will be ever 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 are directed to forward the same glorious principles. But to unv
other party, or to any other men, we shall never contribute our mite to
advai ce or elevate.
Vt e shall support Martin 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 her domestic institutions, but against the
endeavors soon to be adopted to injure her agricultural interest. The
administration of Mr. Van Buren has already done much to advance the
prosperity and happiness oi our country; and we feel every disposition
to allow him to continue another term in the discharge of the duties
w inch he has thus far so creditably performed. Even awarding to Mr.
Clay all that his most ardent friends claim for hint, we 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 thrcalenihg troubles growing out of
the boundary question between the governmeht of Maine and the autho
rities of the province ol'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 mid character of our
country, should always be adopted to avoid collision with foreign pow
ers; mid more particularly with a government whose manufactures con
tribute so much to oui interest and prosperitv as that of Englund.
The commercial department of our paper sliull receive considerable at
tention. We will give regular quotations of Cotton during the business
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 menus 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 June.
No incolisiderabie portion of our columns, lime, and attention will be
devoted to Domestic news. The daily important, as well as very ludi
crous trials in our higher ns well as Inferior Courts of Judicature, shall
he thrown before our readers. As they are mutters on public record, we
will transcribe them into onrpaper. 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.
Wc shall endeavor to conduct the Daily News in a lively mid agreea
ble manner, and never reflect upon any person or partv without cause.
The vices and follies of the age are just subjects of ridicule, and when
ever we feel disposed “ u c will show them up.”

' “LIKE ORIENT PEARLS AT RANDOM STRUNG.”
DYING FROM HOME.
“ May’st thou die among thy kindred.”—Eastern Saying.
“Why have ye brought me so far away.
From my fountain home, where the wild winds plav,
Y’e tell me there’s health iu the mountain air,
And I know the skies are lovely and fair,
But on my young heart is a withering hand,
And I long to die iu my native land.’”
“ Rest, wearied one, rest, the flowers are sweet,
Bending in fragrance beneath thy feet,
Thy native land is barren and cold—
Too bleak far one of so gentle mould—
And faint and few arc the shadows that fall,
From the fir-treetops, on thy father’s hall.”
u My Father's hall! Oh— would I were there!
Breathing the health of the mountain air;
I hear the low song of the murmuring bee;
But dearer the sound of thy waters to me
And the huntsman's wild horn, as he startles the deer,
Would be music once more in thy forests to hear.”
“ Loveliest f lock from thy shady bower
In the calmness and bliss of this pensive hour.
The sun has gone down in the dark blue sky,
The reaper, has laid his sickle by—
The babe sleeps on its mother’s knee,
All are at restand in peace but thee!
“My Mother sits sad and lonely now ;
and sorrow have shaded her brow,
little sisters have left their play,
4F ’To talk of one that is far away;
/Oh! would I were of that cherished band—
Have I left thee forever, my native land 1”
“Content the dearest, still gladly to dwell
With the friends of thy youth, who love the so well)
See, I have brought of the freshest bloom,
To cheer thy heart with its rich perfume;
And here are diamonds of beauty rare,
To twine with the wreaths of thy raven hair.”
“ Ye are kind, mv friends ye are kind unto me,
But my stricken heart still pants to flee—
(Like a stricken dove to her Woodland nest)—•
To the bosom of her who loves the best,
Oh! for a fold in that meek embrace—
Oh! for a glance of that sainted face!
“ Gifts have no spell round the heart to cling-,
Hut the name of home is a holy thing:
Friends cannot read w ith a mother’s eye,
Wishes that pass like shadows by,
This is a far nnd a lovely spot,
But my heart in its gladness abideth not.
“ Blossoms are sweet but they wither and fade,
( Thus hate my hopes in their bud decayed,)
Oh! that my own cherished flowers might wave,
With their balmy breath o'er my earli grave,
Its rest by the mountain breezes fann’d,
Let me die in my own, my native land!”

THE INFANT SUFFOCATION WITH KNOWLEDGE
SYSTEM.
BY A MAN BORN OUT OF SEASON.
“ Oh! the Runny, sunny hours of childhood,
How soon—how soon they pass away!”
Very ! There uas a time when we had children*
That time is past, or is fast passing. The boys are
premature mockeries of men—the girls, something
between a doll and a stunted woman. The school
master is abroad, also the schoolmistress, besides tu
tors and governesses.
Shortly after the children are weaned, they com
mence educating them. While the brain is yet in a
soft, pulpy state, they load it with heavy facts and
hard names, to its serious detriment during the re
mainder of its mundane existence. The ancient Gre
cian commenced with carrying a calf upon his back a
few hours every day, so that when the calf gradually
grew into a bullock, he carried the bullock with as
much ease as he had done the calf. This is now the
education principle. They lay a few’ leaves of Cyc
lopaedia or Encyclopaedia on a child’s tender brain,
and keep adding thereunto day by day, expecting that
when he is a man, he will carry the thirty volumes
with perfect ease, without considering that in the at
temp they may crush all sap and freshness out of that
brain, rendering it as flat as a pancake, and “dry as
the remainder of a biscuit.”
Now is this wholesome—is it natural ? Is it fair—
is it humane, that a child should be cheated out of its
childhood, and sent to learn the “ use of the globes”
before it has learnt to play at barbies i Or is it to be
expected that this early forcing and hot-bed system
can produce as healthy plants as if they had been al
lowed to grow’ in the free air and open sunshine ? Oh!
in place of sending a child to school at three or four
years, let it enjoy three or four more years of healthy
ignorance. Curb not its young freedom ; abridge not
its first holidays ; cage not the pretty bird too soon !
Change not the free air of heaven for the pent-up at
mosphere of the “ seminary the gentle murmur of
the winds for the dull hum of the prison-house. We
were children ourselves once. Let us have a fellow
feeling for the young rogues. Let kind dame Nature
nurse them a few years longer. There will be fewer
ricketty limbs and ricketty intellects.
And does a child learn nothing because it has not
its primmer iu its hand ? Certainly it does. Every
hour of its little life it is learning; it cannot help it.
The flower that blows, the springing grass, the with
ered leaf, the running water, the birds that hop across
its path, and the thousand sights of the fields and
woods, or even the squares or suburbs of a city, cause
it to think and to question. The wind as it blows,
the falling rain, the fleecy snow, the sharp frost ma
king firm the unstable water, the thunder peal, the
sun that shines by day, and the moon that steals into
the dark sky at night, all and each arouses its infantile
wonder and young curiosity. Let it then have a few
years of pleasant natural education before it commen
ces its painful artificial one. Let it, as St. Paul says,
when it is a child, “ think as a child, and act as a
child,” and in due and proper season, no doubt of it,
it will “ put aw ay childish things.”
But we are bent upon doing too much. No time
has to he wasted. We cannot be content with heal
thy natural children, possessed of information proper
to their years, we must have prodigies —or parrots.
Miss prates of planetary systems while her fingers itch
to make doll’s frocks, ami Master is taught philosophy
(heaven save the mark) before he has learned to curb
bis appetite for plum-pudding. Aud what are the
