LIBERTY AND THE UNION FOREVER—THE PRINCIPLES OF WASHING-
I TON, JEFFERSO.N AND
N proposing to establish in the city of Orleans, a now 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 \\ est, pointing its destinies to a summit of commercial grandeur, to
which no oilier city in the world can ever expect to reach. Nor are
these prospects confined alone to New Orleans. When wo take into
view- the numerous wide-spread, and extended arms of the nobio Missis
sq>pi, winding themselves through an extent of country so immensely
vast; embracing die most fertile and productive region perhaps in the
known world; witii a climate and scenery as beautiful as nature could
iorm them ; and a population of hardy, inilustrious freemen, increasing
with every hour ot the day, we do not hesitate in declaring our opinion,
that lhe \\ est is destined, at a:i cariyalay, to be one of the finest, tho
noblest sections of country on the face of the globe; and that New Or
leans, as a commercial city, niav, at no very distant period, claim the
proud appellation of Mistress of the World.*
\\ ith Stroh a field, then, ns is spread before us, wo 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 West;' and designing that our
paper shall embrace all intelligence of importance, of the United States
and of J' orcign Governments, it will be found especially interesting and
useful to every class ol our fellow citizens throughout the Western
couutr.y
I’he Great Western will be devoted mainly to Commerce,-
wifi 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 ot Mechanics, and to City iVeics, BfC,
. Commerce.— i’he larger portion of this paper will be strictly commer
cial. All intelligence ot importance of this character, both domestic and
foreign, w ill be summed up at ns early a moment as possible, so as to af
ford our mercantile patrons every description of news which they can
desire, under this head.
Agjucc ltu ke. — W bile every other branch of industry in the United
States is receiving fresh andencouraging impulses for perseverance, this
most important ol all, seems to flag behind the general march of im
provement and prosperity; and, instead of being placed at lhe head of
our general national policy, and receiving that tosterihff care and protec
tion to w hich it is so pre-eminently entitled, is left to grope its wav, sim
ply by the dint of that perseverance and unwearied industry so chaiac
Icristic of our hardy countrymen.
It will he our especial care to sustain the interests of this class of our
fellow citizens.
Politics. -1 his department of our paper is one in which every class
ol our citizens is interested. I nderthis head we shall give the general
political intelligehce of the w holo country ; w hile we, as the conductors
of a public journal, are determined, without fear, favor, or affection, to
support, w ith all our zeal, such measures of policy as alone will tend, in j
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 for its object the diffusion of equal rights, equal blessings, and equal
burthens, thereby promoting the general happiness of lhe people; and to
this end will all our energies be directed.
\\ ith regard to the great questions ot policy whi< h arc now agitating
die people of the United States, respecting the currency, we unhesita
tingly dcclareour entire preference of the independent Treasury system,
f rom our belief of its strict constitutionality, mid. in its tendency, letter
calculated to promote the general prosperity of all classes, than any oth- T
er which, in our view, can be com eived.
\\ e are strict constructionists of the Federal Constitution, and shall
always oppose those splendid schemes,’or ‘ American Systems’ ofmonop
oly, which have ever characterised the policy of lhe Federal opposition,
i ecognising no implied iiiterprctuiious of that instrument, and believing
that the ‘GENEkAL \\ ELb ARE’ of every portion of our wide-spread
confederacy, depends on a strict udhcrance to its plain and slraightfor
ward nieaaing, we shall not lie sparing in onr expositions and denuncia
tions cl those daring attempts which have and are now being made bv
tlte reckless and aspiring leaders ol the Federal i’artt, to rend assunder
this glotious Charier ot our rights und liberties, and rear upon its ruins
a splendid aristocracy of wealth ami power.
Earnestly advocating, therefore, as we shall always do, these great
and fundamental principles ol our govemmetit, which’were conceived by
a virtuous and patriotic ancestry while struggling- lor the rights and lib
erties ot incitkind, we shall, in all eases, give o.irsiqqroft, lor public offi
ces, to such men as we are assured shall have the patriotism, talents,
Itrmucss and disposition to sustain mid carry out those principles suc
cessfully. With all onr zeal mid ability, therefore, we shall advocate tho
re-climion of MARTIN \ AN BUREN, for the next Presidential term,
with tite fullest confidence in liis exalted talents, integrity and patriotism
convinced that upon his success dept nds, in a very great mi'asure tins
linn mid lasting establishment of tliose glorious principles of our rev’olu- •
tiou, so admirably acted upon by Washington, Jeflerson, Madison and
Jackson, And lor the second office in iite gif. of the American people,
we shall ascordially give our support to the Him. John Foksyth new
Secretary of .State.
Innnnouncing our preference of these talented, patriotic, long-tried mid
approved statesmen, for lite highest offices in the government, we feel ti
glowing confidence in the aim ,-t unanimous approval of our fellow citi
zens ot tlte West, with an voiding belief that they will rally around the
standard thus raised, proudly unlurling to the breeze the names of these
di titiguished individuals.
Mechanics.—Under litis head that large and respectable portion of
onr fellow citizens, among tv hotn we have lit ■ Conor ot classing ourselves
shall have a Iteming. Vi e invite them to the use of our columns. Their
rights and interests must bo sustained.
