There are only two sorts Of government, one Of
and the other cper the people zoe hare sUorn to
support The former and oppose The latter.
VXTE observed with pain and regret, that in
wv this and in all the adjoining coun-
ties, the democratic party were obliged to pat
ronise federal papers, (for they had mono Of their
own) or be without the advantage Of local news.
The aristocracy--th few as usual, had all tho
influence Of that mighty engine, the press, opc-
rating in their cause, and used it in the propo-
cation and dissemination of their own selfish
principles and designs--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 frccmcn, by the love of their
ceuntry--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
vertion, what was passing in the world; and at.
fording them the means ofinforming themselves
of the great and important subjects that agitate
the county, correct knowledge of which il
so important to them, separately and collective
ly, but which were falsifed by bank advocates,
British agents, and hirelings.
The People are enquiring what they are to dc
to be saved--not from the dangers and evils that
wait 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 lie.
gislature by voting for fedcraist 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 nominations viz
high-tarff, 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 OIL
that country that holds all that is dear to us as
Amercans-wc make it in the name of the ever
venerated shades of the illuatrious sages and he
roes Of the rcvolution--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
confederatedrepubic,w 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 Van
Buren, And an unyieldng supporter of the con
stitution and free institutions identified with
tho administration of tho government of our
own state and the union. As constitutional,
c.p sdent and equitable measure we will sup
port Nn independent Treasury independent Of
the stock iobers and banksl--an entire aud cter
nal divorce of bank and state: illegally connect

unhallo VIVID course of trading and banking poll
ticians;s national bank in whatever form the
federal al istocracy may bring it forward, belev-
ing it to ho unconstitutional, inexpedient, and
dangerous and unjust, an more than
once stamped with popular disapprobatlcn.
We will adv ocate free and direct trade-equai
burthens and be- 1efts-universal suffrage--a ge-
neral and we'll dhrested system of education
popular legislation religious Decentralization
of the press and OF sNpeech-and an enlarged
specie basis for sound currency. We go for
union without consolidat ion--state rights with.
out nulifcation--a well organized militia sys
tenn, and an entire abolition Of the shin.plaster
system. And Of course we will oppose exclu-
sive privileges; monopoles; enlargement Of the
constitution by constructors; the collecting of
more revenue than is sufficient to defray the ex
penses Of an economical govern. nent. The fed
cral aristocracy who demand lawA', not like hon
est men to protect them in their RIGHTS, but to
protect them in their MoSoroLIEe, will find us
active opponents.
We have taken our post and will not b. found
'lumbering: no, but viglent, active, and jt> lous
Ia stream many tides against the foes OF
Inc people"--repelling every invasion of theil-
rights--warning them of approaching danger
lpprising them of the hypocrtical shifting and
shutting Of their old enemies, the feds.
There are no maxinls more true or more de-
serving to BIO remembered than that .sthe price

We will oppose the dark designs and hellish
fForts of fanatical abolitonists, without enouir.
