rary ends, and with no settled purpose Of being
| hsld nyiolabie. We shall conceive ii our pro-
vince, az weE al our duty.to advocate with be-
coming zeal the principles which we deem cor-
rect, and to expose Il possible, the fallacy O.
such as vie 10 not approve. But in doing this
we can neither claim ii 40 our privilege, nor
regard tas our duty, TO sasaA with violence or
a,alignity the political tenets Of others-we
shall strive 10 to temper our conduct as tosgive
10 just cause Of conplslnt to political adve sa-
RES. but at the sametime, assume an attitude
sufficiently firm and independent to leave 40
room for even skeptlcs 10 doubt our course. -
II will be cur purpose TO applaud political vir-
tue wherever it may be found, and wo shall
with RELENTLESS grasp rend tho veil that OBJ
scpres political detormity. Ia our politics we
are decidedly Democratic we yielded hearty,
and we think, we'll meritcd support to much
the greater portion Of the late administration
and assisted to the utmoot Of our humble abli-
ties, 10 elsvatng to power the present Chez
Magistrate Of the nation. And, though sve are
welded to no man or party, yet 20 long as be
continuesto follow in that line, which be has al
ready chalked out for himself, we shall -ccn-
ceive that we can no better preserve, protect,
and defend Tho constitution and Liberties Of the
people, than by yielding him an ardent andnn-
tiriug support. Reared in the land that gave
birth to tho great apostle Of liberty, We early
toaiap Democracy, Jefferson, Liberty---ws have
enlisted freely,in the contest, and our subse-
quent days SHALL be spent we truss as our itst

We believe that the 80 styled Virginia and
Kentucky resolutions Of 1913 and 100, give
true exposition Of the spirit and meaning ofshs
that the political line which they
have drawn, ia the one intended 10 be thrown
around the nstional government, tokcep It with |
ID ito prescribed limits, but in yielding 10 this
pdlief, We nave not 3hought il necessary 10 run
INTO the Ultra State Rights doctrines, contained /
d the Sorth Carolira ordinance sf 1899.
We are Tor strict construction q the cunstitu- I
Job, and can therefore never yield the point /
hat Congress can, without most palpabls and /
infracrion ofthe constitution, chart
IA icn Bank, or create any other corporatr
,cdy. Yet We do not entertain INV such usppi- \
nvision as IL held BY Inc Loco Foco party III
View York 10 bring the government down ii
a exclusive gold and silver currency, without y
overing the land With distress and wide spresr
min, we believeitis wholly chimerical, absurd
nd ridiculous we do not believe that any pro
iinent member Of the Democratic party, cyerI
dvocated such spartan policy, certain itis that
either Gen. Jackson nor Mr.. Van Barren ever
ID. Wcare satisfied that the precious metals
II the ordinary purposes ofirade, witha sound
I'd uniform paper currency, convertible INTO
Wa and silver At the sill Of tho holder, for ths
ore extended objects Of commerce., would best ..
ii the wants Of the American people, and Is best
lapted % the genius Of our free Institutions. To
Il point we would havethe government direct lis
'crgies- proceeding with gradsaI, but determine

ings must come, and notify rash aud prccipitate I
nduct to whelm in ruin The fortsnes Of men, who

In thus launching eut upon tho troubled boscm d,
the political ocean, we are aware thar adverse d
ndsmay stay the progress of our little barge IN

shall spread our canvass to the breeze andtrust IA
