Piney Woods planter. (Liberty, Mi. [i.e. Miss.]) 1838-1840, 1839-07-13

support the former and oppose the latter
WYE observed with pain and regret, that in
w this and in all the adjoining coun-
ties, the democratic party were obliged to pat.
ronise federal papers, (for they had none oftheir
own) or be without the advantage of local news.
The arstocracy--the few as usual, had all the
influence of that mighty engine, the press, ope-
rating in their cause and used il in the propo.
cation and dissemination Of their own selfish
principles and desgns--As American citi;
zens devoted to our country's interest, honor
and glory, VIC twelve months ago mounted the
war-saddle--pealed 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 dcmoc-
racy could see reflected without distortion or in
vertion. what was passing in the world and af-
fordng them the means ofinformng themselves
of the great and important subjects that agitate
the county, correct knowledge of which is
so important TO them, separately and collective
ly, but which were falsified by bank advocates,
British agents, and hireings
The People are enquiring what they are 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 Le-
gislature 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 denominations, viz:
high-tariff, national bank, and abolition. This
state of things, together with the approaching
election, renders another call necessary. We
make it confidently-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 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
confederatedr republic, who occupy the broad and
fixed ground of equal rights to all the people
special privileges to none--a strict and literal
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 Van
Buren, And an unyielding supporter of the con
stitution and free institutions as identified with
The administration of the government of our
own state and the union. As a constitutional,
sXpcdient and equitable measure we will sup.
port an independent Treasury independent of
Lhe stock jobcrs and banks)--an entire and cter
nal divorce of bank and state: illegally connect
I'd by Alexander Hamilton. We will oppose the
lnhallowed course of trading and banking poll
.icians; national bank in whatever form the
federal aristocracy may bring it forward, bciev
ng il TO be unconstitutional, inexpedent, and
dangerous and uni ust, and moro than
,nce stamped with popular disapprobatIon.
We will advocate free and direct trado--equal
,urthens and benefits--universal suffrage ge-
neral and well digested system of education
popular neutrality-suspicious. freedom--freedom
If the press and Of speech--and an enlarged
specie basis for a sound currency. We go for
lnon without consolidation--state rights with
,ut nullifcaton--a well organized militia sys
em, and an entire abolition of the shin-plaster
system And Of course we will oppose exclu-
'ive privileges; monopolies; enlargement of the
constitution by construction; the collecting of
more revenue than is sufficient to defray the ex |
Denses Of an economical government. The fed |
oral aristocracy who demand laws, not like hon.
est men to protect them in their RIGHTS, but to |
protect them in their MoNoroLIEs, will find us
active opponents
we nave taken our post and will not be found |
'lumbering no, but vigent, active, and Jealous
IA stream many tides against the foes of
The people"-repelling every invasion of their
'lghts--warning them of approaching danger
uprising them of the hypocritical shifting and
shutting of their old enemies, the feds.
There are no maxims more true or more de-
serving to be remembered than that .'the price
u liberty is eternal vigilance" and that 'powcr
$ always stealing from the many to the fe,u."
These truths we will not lose sight Of for mo-
nent. 1t will be our duty, and as such our plea
ure also, to keep them constantly before the
minds Of our readers. The condition of the peo.
lie cannot remain stationary if it does not ad.

We will oppose the dark designs and hellish {
forts of fanatical aboitfonists, without cnoulr.
