Prospectus , For publishing in the town of Carrollton, Car roll county, Mxss., a weekly paper to be enti tled the Southern- Pioneer , (bt g. w. h, brown. ) TTNDER the above title of the "Southern Pio- KJ neeb," we propose to publish in the town of Carrollton, a new Weekly Paper, devoted to Politics, both State and National, Agriculture, the current news of. the day, and the advancement of the great cause of Education. This paper will be devoted to what its conductor believes to be the best interests of the State and county. It will advocate the great Whig cause which you have recently seen so signally trium phant. Believing, that the principle- put forth by the great Whig party as the tenets of its political creed, are the only tm ones on which this Government was originally founded, and on which it should be admin istered, this paper will lend to those principles, when-1 ja.Vianded swindling; ever and wherever espoused, its hatnble but cordial 1 o . ., $ 9 3 The following is an extract from a corres ponding letter to the Memphis "Enquirer,' dated "De Soto County Miss. Julv 2G, 1811." The letter is written under the head of "Mis sissippi Politics, and we have no doubt upon a perusal will bring the purple blush to the cheek of many a locofo. altos factionist. The leading men of the party have very little feel ing in common with the plain citizen as to the ultimate degradation of the State, if they can only reach the different stations to which they aspire. We consider the anti-bond hobbv, mounted by the party, for the purpose of ri ding again into power in this State, as one of the most contemptible, swindling and degra ding subterfuges which could possibly have been resorted to. It will ever, in all time to come stick as a curse, and sink the party into the lowest regions of perdition. The result of this agitating question is eyed with eager ness throughout the Union. With such a man as Judge Shaltuck as our champion, we have good reasons to anticipate a brilliant victory; a victory of honest principles over those of "Judge Shattuck, the whic candidate, open o man orsetofmen, will bo by us unscrupulously ed the debate, occupying about two hours. ained at the expense of principle, "Principles . - , , ... r ,. ... . rvuourinotto by this rule shall we be gov- And the candid of his political opponents pre- support N sustai VflT MFN. erned.antl in subjecting all to this test, vvc shall as we sent, will bear me out in the assertion, that he find them, judge with impartiality, J w,m onlv'made a highly favorable impression .rwlr... nn,l ronrplipnd with lUStlCC AS llUIUDie 1 lO- . r neers in the great cause of political truth, we shall on the minds o the audience generally, that ever point to the cardinal virtues of a representative he js a sounj excellent and intelligent cen Government.

The difference was wide, and ' the audience plainly made it manifest by their frequent demonstrations of delight during the progress of the Judge. . , As a Mississippian, and a citizen of De Soto county, I rejoice to state that Judge Shattuck was listened to with eager and satisfactory attention. The impression he made was deep, and his views certainly met with a warm re sponse from a large majority of his hearers. Not so with his opponent; the people be came restless and dissatisfied; and although it was early in '.he afternoon, his hearers hastily became fewer and farther off as well as be- ween; they did not relish his notions of State honesty at all. Judge Shattuck gained a brill iant victorvand will receive a handsome ma- ority in De Soto. Many of our intelligent Democrats d?cbre their intention to vote for him. Unless he be elected by a larger majori- y than has ben cast for Governor during the ast six or eight' years, thousands err in opin ion. I had well nigh forgotten to mention that Mr. Tucker became so annoyed and petulent rom the inattention of the people, during his vain and unsatisfying effort to persuade them that the State ought not to pay her notes, that he made several irritable and uncivil calls up on them for silence and attention to his speech and whilst Judge Shattuck was bareljr be ing introduced to a gentleman in the farther end of the court-room, he became so nervous and fretful as to bawl out to his gentlemanly aud courteous competitor, saying, "if you are making another speech Judge Shattuck, I'll stop until you get through." Looks, corres ponding in amiability with the expression, flashed with it, as the lightning with the thun der. I stood beside Judge S. at the moment, and considered the remarks of the speaker ex ceedingly uncalled for, ill tempered and un civil. No doubt he dreatW "another speech" from the Judge. And his frightened fancy re ally seemed to conjure .jf few mere words of introduction from the Judge, into an "actual second broadside from his terrible battery, the first of which so riddle and raked his "long, low, black, piratical-looking," nonpayingbond craft." they will not keep up the contest long.
