a war-saddle--pealed the battle cry,--called, an
not in vain, on the freemen, by the love of thei

Q able us to establish paper in which the democ

by the federal convention of this State, and the
| contempt shown by some of the party in the Le-
| gislature by voting for a 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 n trinity of denominations, viz:
high-tariff, national bank, and abolition. This
state of things, together with the approaching
election, renders another call necessary. We
make il confdently-we make ii in the name Of
that country that holds all that is dear to us as
Americans--we make il in the name of the ever
venerated shades of the illastrious sages and he
roes of the revolution-of those who conducted
our councils and led our armies in the glorious
cause of liberty
The pINEf WOODS PLANTER will, as heretofofc,
act in consort with the democracy of this great
confederated 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 prin-
ciples of democracy as taught by Jefferson, and
sustained and carried out by Jackson and Yah
Buren, And an unyelding supporter Of the con
stitution and free institutions as identified with
the administration of the government of our
own state and the union. As constitutional,
expedient and equitable measure we will sup
port an independent Treasury independent of
the stock jobers and banks)-an entire and eter
nal divorce of bank and state: illegally connect
ed by Alexander Hamilton We will oppose the
unhallowed course of trading and banking poll
tcians; national bank in whatever form the
federal aristocracy may bring it forward, belev-
ing il to be unconstitutional, inexpedent, and
manifcstly dangerous and unjust, and more than
once stamped with popular disapprobatIon.
We Will advocate free and direct trade--equal
Il
neral and well digested system of education
popular legislation-religiou freedom=-freedom
of the press and of speech-and enlarged
specie basis for sound currency. We 90 for
union without consoldation--state rights with
out hullifcatioh--a well organized militia sys
tent, and an entire abolition of the shin plaster
system. And of course we will oppose exclu-
sive privileges; monopoles; enlargement of the
constitution by construction; the collecting Of
more revehue than is sufficient to defray the ex-
penses of an economical government. The fed
eral aristocracy who demand laws, not like hon
est men to protect them in their RiGiiTs, but to
protect them in their MoNoPotIEsi will find us
active opponents.
We have taken our post and will not be found
surabering: no, but vigilent, active, and jealous
tia stream many tides against the foes of
the people''-repelling every invasion of their
rghts--warning them of approaching danger
apprising them of the hypocrtical shifting and
shutting of their old enemies, the feds.
There are no maxims more true more de-
serving to be remembered than that ''the prics
of liberty is eternal vigilance" and that ''power
is always stealing from the many to the few"
These truths we will not lose sight of for a mo-
ment. 1t will be our duty, and as such our plea
sure also, to keep them constantly before the
minds of our readers. The condition of the peo
Pile cannot remain stationary if it does not ad
vance, it will retrogade.
We will oppose the dark designs and hellish
efforts Of fanatcal abolitonsts, without cnquir-
ing to what sect they beong-whether they are
of the north or south, east or west. We hold
them to be the enemies Of our institutions Of es-
tablshed order and Of the union. And in direct
opposition to the doctrines, interest and wishes
of the present administration. We will strike
at such be they of what party they may.
The course prescribed we will pursue, regard
less of the opinions of weak or feigned friends,
or the foul and malicious attacks of ayowed en-
emies. The latter we despise, the former we pi
ty. Having adverted, in cursory and general
manner, to what are our views and the course
under our guidance that the Planter will pursue,
also to its plan and objective will leave e.
tails to speak for themselves.
The publishers in commencing new volume,
would say that its publication is commenced un
der much moro favorable circumstances than
that which preceded it. They have more expe.
fience--assuranc Of more assistance--a number
of valuable contributors-and entire new ar
rangements; added to which they promise their
patrons that not only will the same exertions be
used which has obtained for this paper liberal
patronage, but their claims on the public will be
renewed by increased effort. In its columns will
be found all that adds interest to newspaper.
