PROPOSALS By Marmaduke J Slade, f'R rtniusn-. ing in the Town of Macon, a wf.i il ly Newspaper, to nr. called SLIDE'S AoRICUL TV UAL \ MERCANTILE ADVERTISER. \1 Y recent relinquishment of a participation -ITI in the editorial labors of an old and weile stablished journal, would seem to require but few preliminary remarks, intho promised undertaking, wete it not, that they are usually demanded by public expectation, and sanctioned by custom As there is no good reason why iliis ‘ time honored observance” should be disregarded in the present instance, I shall submit an epitome of my princi ples, and the course which shall be obscived in conducting anew journal. The object of the proposed publication being purely what, its titio implies, supercedes tlie title of that political com mentary, which the doctrines of the day liavo usually demanded; yet ns my former professions are held with unabated attachment, and lliero being no neutral ground in the conflicting and varied sentiments, wnieh daily arise, as to both men and measure”, it follows, that. [ should not on ly make an exposition of my political tenets, hut a so, that they th uld be boldly Fet forth, and fearlessly defended. I l ave ever indulged an ar dent .devotion to republicanism as tho term was understoi dby its advocates in (W —a sacred re gard to the letter and spirit of the constitution, and a determined and fixed hostility to every thing like constructive or implied powers—an ex tension of equal justice to ail parties—that ail power is inherent in and derived front the people, us the or’gnal source mid uiim ito tribunal—the independence and distinct sovereignty of the states, and their confederacy as a union undor a government limited ami actually defined in its powers. These are prominent articles of my po itical fa tli, and believing in their correctnoas shall abide by them in every trial. Amneg tlie many topics of deop interest that agitate the pro- | bio of all c.lapgs. is the exorcise of uuwarantahlo yovcrmi ntnl iiifl'tonca on tho industry and reso ire es of the unconstitutional expenditure of the pub lic treasure to objects of lateral Improvement— measures too frequently destitute) o: general lien- ■ efit. and often times marked by a spirit of partiali- 1 ty. selfishness and injustice, ft would be criminal • for one seated on “the watch-tower,'’ and in tho exercise of the duties whfoh h dong to tho Press, to observe With callous indifference, the causes which have produced and the effects which liavo resulted from tho lntitudinary construction of tho vir.-titetion.

The time was, when to dissent from the meas ures of any of tho prominent parties of our state, by an attachment to any of the others or to their distinguished 01 pans, implied a hostility and acri mony which frequently had no bounds, and ren dered “wisdom, justice and moderation’ an emp ty and absurd profession.
