THE GREAT WESTERN.
LIBERTY AND THE UNION FOREVER—THE PRINCIPLE® 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 inagnifi
cent prospects which seem to hovw mound this mighty Emporium of
the West, pointing its destinies to a summit of commercial grandeur, to
which no other city in the world cun ever expect to reach. Nor are
these prospects confined alone to New Orleans. When we take into
view’the numerous wule-spreud, and extenned 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 us nature could
form them; mid u population of hardy, industrious freemen, increasing
with every hour ot the dtiy, we do noi hesitate in declaring our opinion,
that the \V csi is destined, al an early day, to be one ol’ the lines!, the
nuble'st sections of country on the face of ihe globe; and that New Or
leans, as a commercial city, may, ui no very distant period, claim the
proud appellation of Mistress of the World.
With such a held, 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 ot the “Great H c.\/,” 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
4’iie Great Western will be devoted mainly to Commerce,
will support the interests ol' Agriculture, nnd will take its political posi
tion and plant its standard upon ilic broad parapet of Democracy; it will
also extend its notice t the mterestsof J/ecA/iwic®, and io City Netcs,
Coaimerce.— i’he huger 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 as early a moment as possible, so as to af
ford our mercantile patrons every description of news which they can
desire, under this head.
Agriculture.— hile every other branch of industry in the United
States is receiving fresh andeneouraging impulses for perseverance, this
most important of all, seems to flag behind ihe general march of im
provement and prosperity ; and, instead of 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 lo grope its way, sim
ply by the dint of that per-everance and unwearied industry so charnc
terisllc of our hardy countrymen.
Ir 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
ot our citizens is interested, i inder this head we shall give the general
political intelligence of the v hole country; while we, as the conductors
of a public journal, are determined, without leu , favor, or affection, to
support, withail our zeal, such measures of policy as alone will tend, in
our opinion, to the promotion ol our general prosperity as a penile, the
perpetuation of our hbcrii - , and our beloved I nion.
'i his paper, therefore, will be purely Democratic in its principles; ha
ving foi its object the diffusion equal rights, equalbtesaings, and equal
promoting the general happiness of the people; and to
this cud will all our energies be directed.
With regard to the great questions of policy whit h are now agitating
the people of the United biales, respecting the currency, we unhesita
tingly declareobr entire preference ol’ the Independent 1 reasury system,
from our belief of its strict constitutionality, ami in its tendency, better
calculated to promote the general prosperity of ail classes, than any oth
er which, in our view, can be con*, eived.
We are strit t constructionist* of the Federal Constitution, aud sludl
always oppose those splendid schemes,’or ‘ American Sy stems’ of monop
oly, whih have ever characterised the policy of the Federal opposition,
recognising no implied interpretation® of that instrument, and believing
that the ‘GENERAL WELFARE’ of every portion of our wide-spread
confederacy, depends on a strict adherance to its plain and straightfor
ward meaning, we shall not be sparing in our expositions and denuncia
tions ot those dating attempts which have and are now being made by
the rccklc.ss and aspiring leaders of the Federal Party, to rend nssunder
this glorious Charter of our rights end liberties, aud rear upon ils ruins
a splendid aristocracy of wealth and power.
Earnestly advocating, therefore, as vve shall alway s do, these great
and fundamental principles of our government, which were conceived by
a virtuous a-nd patriotic ancestry while struggling lor the rights and lib
erties ot mankind, we shall, in all rases, give our support, tor public offi
ces, to such men as we are assured shall ka»e the patriotism, talents,
firmness and disposition to sustain and carry out those principles suc
cessfully. With all our zeal and ability, therefore, vve shall advocate the
re-election of MARTIN \ AN BUREN, lor the next Presidential term,
with the fullest confidence in his exulted 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, Jcffcrswu, Madison, and
Jackson. And for the second office in the gift of the American people,
we shall ascordially give our support la the Hon. John Forsyth, now
