LIBERTY »SD THE UNION FOREVEII—THE PRINCIPLES OX WASHING- TON, JEFFERSON AND JACKSON. IN proposing to establish in the city of*Ne\v Orleans, a new paper un der the above title, we arc 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 arc these prospects confined alone to New Orleans. When we lake iwto view the numerous wde-spread, and extended arms of lhe noble Missis sippi, winding themselves through an extent of country so immensely vast; embracing lhe most fertile and productive region perhaps in the known world ; with a climate and scenery as beautiful as nature cwwld form them; and a population of hardy, industrious freemen, increasing with every hour of lhe 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, us a commercial city, may, ut no very distant period, claim the proud appellation of Mi-tress 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 “ Great I» and designing that out paper shall embrace all intelligence of importance, of the United State* and of Foreign Governments, it w ill be found especially interesting and useful to every class of our fellow cilize is -throughout the Western couutr.y The Great Western will he devoted mainly to CunirEcrce, will support the interests <»f Agriculture, an 1 will take its political posi tion and plant its standard upon the broad parapet of Diu.ecracy; it will also extend its notice t < the interests oi ' Aiectiauics, aml to City News, Commerce.—The larger portion of this paper will be -'rictiy commer cial. All intelligence of importance of this chara ’ter, b* h mmestic and foreign, will be summed up at as early « mnm* nt as possible, so as to af ford our mercantile patrons every description of news wliich they can desire, under this head. Agriculture.—While every other branch of industry in the United States is receiving fresh andencouruging impulses for p. i severance, this most important of all, seems to flag behind lhe 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 aud protec tion to which it is so pre-eminently entitled, is left to grope its wav, sim ply bv the dint of that perseverance and unwearied industry so diarac (eristic of our hardy countrymen. It will be our especial care to sustain lhe interests cf this class es our Politics.—’This department of our paper is one in which every class of our citizens is interested. Under this nead we shall give the general political intelligence of the w hole country ; while we, as the conductors of a publie journal, are determined, without fear, favor, or affection, to support, w ith all our zeal, such measures of policy as alone w ill tend, in our opinion, to lhe promotion of our general prosperity as a people, lhe P'*rpetuati«m of our liberties, and our beloved Union. This paper, ilb'*refor<*, will be purely Democratic in its principles; ha ving for it - object the diffusion of equal rifhts, equalblesxinxs, equal burthens, thereby promoting the general happiness of the people; and to thi< e ti d will all our energies be directed. With regard to the great questions ot policy whit h are now agitating 'he people of the U nited states, respecting the currency, we unhesita tingly declare our entire preference of the Independent Treasury system, from Ou r belief ol it- strict constitutionality, ami, in its tendency, better calculated to promote lhe general prosperity of all i lasses, than any oth er which, in our view, can be com eived. We arestiict con-tiuetioni-ts of the Federal Constitution, and shall always oppose those splendid schemes,’or ‘ American Systcius’ofmoimp oly, which have ever characterised the policy of the. Federal opposition, recognising no implird intmpretiuioiis <;f that instrument, and believing that the ‘GENEHAL WELb'AKE* of every portion of our wide-spread confederacy, depends on » strict adhernnee 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 aspiiing lenders cf the Federal Party, to rend assunder this glorious ( baiter (d'our rights and liberties, and rear upon its ruins a splendid aristocracy of wealth and power. Earnestly advocating, therefore, as we shall always do, these great and fundamental principles of our government, which were conceived by a virtuous and patriotic ancestry while struggling for the rights and lib erties of mankind, we shall, in all cases, give our support, for public offi ces, to such meu as vve are assured shall have the patriotism, talents, firmness and disposition to sustain and carry out those principles suc cessfully. With all our zeal and abilitv, th rofore, we shall advocate the re-election of 31All'FIN VAN EUKI..N, for the next Presidential term, with the fullest coufid uc ' in his exulted talents, integrity and patriotism convinced that upon his success depends, in a very great measure, th • firm and lasting establishment ofllim’c . lori ms principles of our revolu tion. so admirable acted upon by Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and Jackson. And for lhe second office in the gift of the American people, we shall nscordially give our support to lhe Hon. John Forsyth, naw Secretary of State. I natmouncing our preference of’ these talented, patriotic,long-tried and npprovi d statesmen, for the highest offices in the government, wo feel a glowing confidence in lhe alm -t unanimous approval of our fellow citi zens of tho West, with an *'<>iding belief that they will rally around the standard thus raised, proudly unfurling to the breeze the names of these distinguished individuals. Mechanics.—Under this head that large and respectable portion of our fellow citizens, among whom w e have the Conor ofc.lassing ourselves, -hall have ahearing. We invite them to the use of onr columns. Their rights and interest* must be sustained. Domestic and Foreign Intelligence.— Under these different heads will be found all important general intelligence, both nt home and abroad. City News.— This head will embrace all matters and occurrences of interest, of every character, relating trt, or transpiring within the city.
