trusted to our care a sufficient length o.
time.

diton to entertain customers. Probably
the loss of a part ofmy house by the late

considerable; but can still accommodate
as many as any public house in the city.

VHHE success that hs . attended almost every
Il effort Of literary, liberal, and useful ten
dency in this community, has led to preparations
for publishing paper in Liberty, Amite county,
to be as far the publishers are able, adapted to
the wants and interests Of the people.
The detailed-the faithful history of the past,
as reflected by human nature, is the telescope
through which we purpose to view the future :;
there tore it is our intention, and will be our du.
ty-a nd as spch, our pleasure also, to furnish
such authentic historical articles as will be
tource of profitable and pleasing information to
she readers of the Planter. All we know, or can
know of the mysterious future, is and must be
derived from the past. The same or similar eau
SEES produce the same or smiler effects as human
nature is still the sane, the past will be our data.
History, when we consult its pages, tells us that
there are but two great political parties of the
world-those that are for government of the
people, and those who wish government over
the people: government of the many, and
government Of the few,-frecdoIn or bondage.
Mans capacity for self government had been
doubted until the experiment in America was
fairly severly tried. Tie batteries Of disappont-
ed and re ~ ss ambition; the most powerful agi.
tators, botn Of men and nations, were directed
against those who abored for its success Wash
ington's administration had opposition-Jeffer-
son was called knave and fool, and his admin
stration denounced as weak and worse than
weak; subversive of liberty and the rights OF
man. BY whoml BY those who were for GO
vernment over the people, minority rule, or dis
appointed ambitionists, who, like Cataline, would
sacrifice their country to the love of power
With these facts before us, can it be reasonably
expected that the present administration should
pass without oppositlonl
Many have said that the late, as well as the
present administration, would not answer; most
of whom have neither time nor inclination to in
vestigate the truth of this--being engaged in
hunting proof to show that they were right in
making the prediction
Uutil the inventive powers Of the human mind
shall contrive some way by which every asprant
to office can have the one he wants, opposition
may be expected. Union and education, rem.
dered effective by free press in America, have
enabled the people as a nation, to not only crush
foreign tyranny, but to support themselves a.
gainst internal factions, not less nimical to their
peace and prosperity. Union gave harmony to
feeling; response to sentiment; and samcness to
action. Education gave the right direction TO
tho combined energies, and taught the people to
know and value their rights--the blessings Of
popular government. The press was the con.
ductor by which an equilibrium was produced

1.-The removal Of Mr.. PRICE, with no one
knows how much Of the public money, has added
nothing to the popularity of this scheme, but
has, on the contrary. awakened just indignation
against all projects for trusting public officers

mark OF public feeling, it was noted the other
night. that, when Mr.. COME, the Phrenologist,

without dream of beng political, in the course
OF his illustrations, he spoke of the organ Of

number are few who would like to see him treat
