BY WILLIAM NJ. ToLBERT & co.

BY WILLIAM NJ. ToLBERT co.
HAVING been solicited BY the united request
II of the State Rights and Democratic parties
of mississippi, and especially of this section of
the State, we have been prevailed upon to pub
1ish weekly newspaper, to support that creed of
politics, which the name we have assumed de-
monetrates. Firmly persuaded that the liberties,
prosperity, happiness and independence of the
south, are deeply involved IN these moTnentous
questions. now agitated throughout the Union.
The period is at hand, when it behooves every
friend of the South to ayow and support those
principles of right acd interest, which we solemn
" clam by the charter OF our confederation; to
maintain the integrity of the constitution, the
purity of the administration of the general gov
eminent, and the sovereign Independence to which
we are entitled to a people.
The welfare of the South haze been too long
neglected-her original mngnanimity and honor
are fast sinking into dIsrepGte-our own state IS
a striking instance of this fact, aud our supine-
ness well nigh reduce us to northern vassalage,
has disorganiZed a community at one time emf
nently pTosperous-and destroyed the means OF
recovery from embarrassment for years.
Such a policy has Frustrated our energies, lead
us into unwise projects, heaped upon US corrupt
and Improbable corporations; which almost cast
a stigma upon the good faith and honor of the
State. These errors should be correeted-the
times demand it-let us then resolve to rid US oil
them. and assume that enviable condition we
formerly so proudly held Our might and means
should be exhibited to the republic-it is just to
ourselves, we should do it, in order to relieve us OF
that credulity Of dependence, long habit has en-
gendered among US.
We here speak to men of southern principles,
and to those devoted to that original sense of gov
eminent, under which the constitution OF this re-
public was agreed upon and settled.
Our object is not to mar the good feelings OF
the north and south, OF to shake that amity which
should exist between them, as nation, but merely
to vindicate those rights we are entitled to, and
explain the constitutional remedies BY which we
are protected.
we are uneq1ivocally opposed to a National
Bank-to the elevation Of Henry Clay, to the pre-
sidency, which we consider would be most de-
structive blow to the south and stability of the
nnion--we vii also oppose that system Of Inter-
nal Improvement by tho general government, adj
yoeafed by the federal party-opposed to all
abuses and extravaganza in the administration Of
public aIIairs-avowe opposed to a super1u-
Gus revenue, or high TaritE-in favor Of a free
and direct trade, with the choice Of foreign or
domestic markets, aud in all other respects zeal-
ouslv advocating the doctrine Of the Republican
and State Rights School, as set forth in the Yir-.
oihia and Kentucky resolutions eff '98 & 90.
The estate Rights and Democratic Union,'
viii be published Al SIS in advance or SO At the
end Of the year. Publication to commence about
the Goth eff june nczt.
