T H E G R eTTwI ST E R N~ 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.
