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.

August 13, 1839. 09 lEF The Editor has made arrangements for furnishing the most impor tant and interesting Texas news, from various points in that Republic, at the earliest moments. PROSPECTUS OF THE &s & •ar asw 8 » * 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.” TERMS: The Daily News will be sent to subscribers at $5 a year, payable in advance.

J ' “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!” __jmisceuaneous l 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.
