There are only t,co sorts Of gorcnment, one Of
and the other 0per The peopie;--ice hare strorD TO
support The former and oppose The latter.
VXTE observed with pain and regret, that in
! w this and in all the adjoining coun-
ties, the democratic party were obliged to pat
ronisc federal papers, (for they hadAonc 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, opc-
rating in their cause, and used 1t in the propo-
CATION and dissemination of their own selfish
principles and designs--As. American citis
zens devoted to our country's interest, honor
and glory, VIC twelve months ago mounted the
warrsaddlc--pealed the battle cry,--called, and
not in vain, on the freemen, by the love oil their
country--native or adopted--to rally round a
banner that we raised We called for aid and
patronage (which were literally aiorded) to en-
able us to establish paper in which the dcmoc-
racy could see reflected without distortion or in
vertion, what was passing in the world; and al
fording them the means ofinforming themselves
of the great and important subjects that agitate
the country,-a correct knowledge of which Is
so important to them, separately and collective
| ly, but which were falsifed by bank advocates,
British agents, and hirclings.
The People are onquiring what they arc to do
to be saved--not from the dangers and evils 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 Lo-
i pisature by voting for federalist 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 trinity of Nominations viz;
[hgh-tariff, national bank, and abolition. This
state Of things, together with the approaching
4 election renders another call necessary. We
make il conhdently--we make it in the name OF
THAT country that holds all that is dear to us as
America ns-we make it in the name OF the ever
yenerated shades Of the illustrious sages and he
roes of the revoution--of those who conducted
our councils and led our armies in the glorious
cause of liberty.
The PINEy WOODS PLANTER will, as heretofore
act in consort with the democracy OF this great
confcderated republic, who occupy the broad and
z fixed ground of equal rights to all the people,
+ special privileges to none--a strict and Literal
n construction Of the constitutional powers of the
! general government, with all the cardinal prn
!. ciples Of democracy as taught by Jefferson, anC
} sustained and carried out by Jackson and Var
8 Buren, And an unyieldng supporter OF the con
" stitution and free institutions identified witt
the administration of the government OF oui
own state and the union. As constitutional
expedent and equitable measure we will sup.

penscs of an economical government. The FED
lg cra aristocracy who demand laws, not like hor
d. est men TO protect them in their RIGHTS, but I
n protect them in their MoNoPoLEs, will find U
!, active opponents.
III We have taken our post and will not be foun
he slumbering: no, but vglent, active, and jealou
se --"a stream many tides against the foes 2
IN the people"--repelng every invasion of thci
= rights--warning them of approaching danger
- apprisng them Of the hypocrtica shifting an
&c. shutting of their old enemies, the feds.
There are no maxims more true or more d.
serving TO be remembered than that 1.-THE pric
of liberty is eternal vigilance and that ''powt
is always stealing from the mann to the feir.
10 These truths we will not lose sight of for a M
zee ment. 1t will be duty, and as such our ple
j., sure ALSO to keep them constantly before Il
=. minds of our readers. The condition of the pc
pie cannot remain stationary If it docs not az
vance, it will rctrogade.
We will oppose the dark designs and hellis
m efforts Of fanatica abolitonists without enqul
!, ing to what sect they belong--whether they al
~ of the north or south, east or west. We hol
DID them to be the enemies of our institutions of
ne tablished order and of the union. And in direc
he opposition to the doctrines, interest and wisho
n of the present administration. We will strik
! at such be they of what party they may.
7s- The course prescribed we will pursue, regard
less of the opinions of weak or feigned friends
or the foul and malicious attacks Of avowed en-
cmies. The latter we despise, the former we p
Il ty Having adverted, in a cursory and genera
manner, to what are our views and the cours
under our guidance that the Planter will pursuc
ALSO to its plan and objective will leave {
tails to speak for themselves.
The publishers in commencing new volume
would say that its publication is commenced un
der much more favorable circumstances thai
that which preceded it, They have more expe
rence--assuranc Of more assistance---a numbe
Of valuable contrbutors--and entire new ar
rangcments; added to which they promise thei
patrons that not only will the same exertons b.
used which has obtained for this paper liberia
ly patronage, but their claims on the public will b.
te renewed by increased effort. In its columns viii
&c be found all that adds interest to a newspaper.
