WE ob,orvOd with pain and regret, that in

support hs former and oppose The latter.
WTE ob,ervod with pain and regret, that in
wv this and in all the adjoining coun.
Ties, the democratic party were obliged to pat.
ronisc federal papers, (for they had none of their
own or be without the advantage of local news.
The aristocracy--the few as usual, had all the
influence Of that mighty engine, the press, ope.
rating in their cause, and used it in the propo-
CATION and dissemination of their own selfish
principles and designs-As American citii,
zens devoted to our country's interest, honor
and glory, VIC twelve months ago mounted the
war-saddle--pealcd the battle cry,--called, and
not in vain, on the freemen, by the love of their
country--native or adopted--to rally round a
banner that we raised. We called for aid and
patronage (Which were literally afforded) to en-
able us to establish paper in which the democ-
racy could see reflected without distortion or in
yertion, what was passing in the world; and af
fording them the means ofinforming themselves
OF the great and important subj jects that agitate
the county, correct knowledge of which is
so important to them, separately and collective.
y, but which were falsiied by bank advocates
British agents, and hirelngs.
The People are cnquiring what they are TO do
to be saved-not from the dangers and OWLS that
await them in another world-but in this. The
nomination of Henry Clay for the Presidency,
by the federal convention of this State, and the
contempt shown by some OF the party in the Le-
gislature by voting for fedcralist for United
States Senator, in defiance Of the expressed will
Of the people, show our political affairs in such
a light as TO startle every freeman. We are
threatened by a trinity of abominations, viz:
high-tarf, national bank, and abolition. This
state of things, together with the approaching
election, renders another call necessary. We
make il confdently--we make it in the name Of
that country that holds all that is dear to US as
Americans--we make it in the name of the ever
venerated shades of the illustrious sages and no
roes Of the revolution--of those who conducted
our councils and led our armies in the glorious
cause of liberty.
The PNEY WOODS PLANTER will, as heretofore,
act in consort with the democracy Of this great
confederatedre republic, who occupy the broad and
fixed ground of equal rights to all the people
special privileges to none-a strict and literal
construction Of the constitutional powers of the
general government, with all the cardinal prn- !
cples of democracy as taught by Jefferson, and o
sustained and carried out by Jackson and Van
Buren, And an unyielding supporter of the con
'titution and free institutions as identified with
he administration of the government of our =
'wn state and the union. As constitutional,
'xpedient and equitable measure VIC will sup
'ort an independent Treasury independent Of
he stock-iobe and banks)--an entire and eter
a divorce of bank and state: illegally connect 8
d by Alexander Hamilton. We will oppose the n:
nhallowed course of trading and banking poll ~
cians; national bank in whatever form the IL
'deral aristocracy may bring it forward, beicy- OF
ig IL to be unconstitutional, inexpedient, and I,
dangerous and uni ust, and more than n
nee stamped with popular dsapprobatIon. !. !,
We will advocate free and direct trade--equal "
lrthens and bencfts-uniyersal suffrage ge- tr
cral and well digested system Of education- m
,pular egislation--religious freedom--frecdom r.
the press and of speech--and an enlarged !
'eeie basis for sound currency. We go for 81
lion without consoidation--statc rights with. Is
It nullitcaiion--a we'll organized militia sys OF
nj, and an entire abolition of the shin plaster M
stem. And Of course we will oppose exclu. !,
70 privileges; monopoies; enlargement of the -
institution by construction; the collecting OF ca
ore revenue than is sufficient to defray the cx re
nses OF an economical government The fed. to
al aristocracy who demand laws, net like hon. n
men TO protect them in their RIGHTS, but to
otcct them in their MoSoFoLIEs, will find us
tive opponents.
We have taken our post and will not be found
ne, bat vigilent, active, and Jealous T,
"a stream many tides against the foes Of
c pe0plc"--repeling every invasion of their
them of approaching danger
prising them of the hypocritical shifting and
uiHing of their old enemies, the feds 3
There are nc maxms more true or more de-
rying TO be remembered than that .'the prco
liberty is eternal vigilance" and that "sower
always stealing from the nany to the feie."
lesc truths we will not lose sight of for a mo-
snt. 1t wall be our duty, and as such our plea. {
re also, to keep them constantly before the ii
nds of our reuders. The condition of the peo- , VI
9 cannot remain stationary if it does not ad- lie
nee, it will retrogade. NJ
We will oppose the dark designs and hcllish sv
orts of fanatical abolitionists without cnquir. r
3 to what sect they belong--whether they are y
the north or south, east or west. We hold ~
EN- TO be the enemies of our institutions of es.
blishcd order and of the union. And in direct N
position to tho doctrines, interest and wishes n
tho present administration. We will strike
such be they of what party they may.
The course prescribed we will pursue, regard.
SIS of tho opinions of weak or fcigned friends, {
tho foul and malicious attacks Of avowed en-
lies The latter we despiEc, the former we pi
f. Having adverted, III cursory and general ~
amer, to what are our views and the course ~
ldor our guidance that the Planter will pursue,
also to it's plan and objective will leave @.
lis to speak for themselves. =
