ed support. The Wing party are now making
mighty struggle to gain the ascendency, and in
their destructive march are trying TO ride rough,
shod over the heads of government, regardless Of
the means they use to gain their unhallowed
ends. We shall ever be on the alert to detect
and expose their covert designs, and shall oppose
the new tangled doctrines Of the opposition in
every shape in which they may make their ad-
yances.
We are opposed to either National or a

ton of President Van Buren, in his Message to
the called session of Congress, for a separation of
the government from all banking institutions
MISUNDERSTANDING that the collection, safe
keeping, and disbursement of the revenue can be
safely done in the constitutional currency thro'
government officers appointed for the purpose.
In short, we shall exert all our energies to adj
vance the democratic cause, the peculiar tenets
Of which are too we'll known to require repetl.

and the poor poorer

facilities for the earliest and best variety of news,
will enable us to lay before our subscribers one
of the most valuable weekly sheets issued from
the southern press. Agriculture win receive par

! Democrats of Norubee: You are now called
upon to come forward and lend helping hand
to the undertaking, and to test the sincerity OF
your professions in something stronger than
words. Although in large majority you have
as yet made but feeble effort to establish press
the mightiest acquisition to any cause-Whlie
that of your opponents is tceming with and
sending abroad in every direction its base fabri-
cations, decciying and corrupting the people
And will you stand coldly by without one effort
to counteract its influence? Can you see our re-
publican government sneercd at, insulted, and it's
institutions trampled upon, without the spirit to

IN the grounds she has taken, and make her per-
manently democratic State But this cannot
be done without exertion. Come forward then,
one and all--and not only come yourselves, but
bring the names of your friends along with you
to be enrolled among the list of subscribers; and
as you prize the success of the holy cause in
which you are engaged, let the efforts which
: you may now make to establish at your county
seat democratic press bear testimony. With
these remarks on the necessity of your prompt
support to insure success, the publisher dismissei
the subject, and rests for time to prove who are
: and who are not the real friends of democracy
and equal rights,
