IN lis political character, the Advocate
Z shall adhere rigidIy TO the Republican
doctrines Of the Jefiersonian school. Its
obiect shall ever be the dissemination Of
political truth, unsbacklcd by party pre-.
Iudices, uninfuenced by mere names, and
unawed by power; but ever finn in the
support Of priHcipls, ever remembering
that the great oblec, of all good govern
ments is the greatest happiness OF the
greatest number. Supporting men only SO
far as they are instruments IN advancing
the measures of the old Democracy. OPP

Bank, either with or without q modltica-

substitution of Galatin for q Biddle--
as unconstitutional, inexpedient, and de.
stTuc,iye alike of both morals and liberty

| Democracy, and will counienancc only
with tie smile Of derision, the prcien.

cunIary and political greatness depend al
most entirely upon the productiveness Of
her soil, and integrity of her citizens.
To hold mirror up 10 Northern poll

tributon is fast Fastening; that we as

a competition IN one whom but Yesterday
they looked upon with the smile of con.
