BY WILLIAM NJ. ToLBERT co.
TWAVING been solicited by the united request
b Of the State Rights and Democratic parties
Of Mississistppi, and especially of this section OF
the State, we have been prevailed upon to pub
lish weekly newspaper, to support that creed OF
politics, which the name we have assumed de-
uonerates. Firmly persuaded that the lbeTtesi
prosperity, happiness and independence Of the
south. are deeply involved in these momentous
questions, now agitated throughout the Union.
The period is at hand, when it behooves every
friend of the South to avow and support those
principles of right acd interest, which we solemn
~ claim BY the charter OF our confederation; TO
maintain the integrity of the constitution, the
purity Of the administration Of the genera gov
ernment, and the sovereign independence TO which
we are entitled to as people.
The welfare of the South hae been too long
ucslected-her original magnanimity and honor
are fast sinking into dizrepute-our own state Is
= striking instance of this fact, aad our supine-
ness well nigh reduce us to northern yassalage'

we here speak 70 men Of southern principles
and to those devoted to that original sense Of gov
eminent. under which the constitution Of this re

Our object is not to mar the good feelings 9
