VA e observed with pain and regret, that in
Wv this and in all the adjoining coun-
tics, the democratic party were obliged to pat
ronisc federal papers, uor they had none ofiher
own) or be without the advantage of local news.
The Interchangeable few as usual, had all the
influence Of that mighty engine, the press, ope-
rating in their cause, and used il in the propo |
ration 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-saddlc- -poalcd the battle cry,--cnlled, and
not in vain, on the freemen, by tile loyeof their
country--nativc or adoptcd-to rally FOUND
banner that we raised. We called for aid and
patronage (Which were literally aforded) to en-
able us to establish paper in which the democ-
raoy could see reflected without distortion or in
vcrton, what was passing in the world; and al-
fordng them the means ofin(orming themselves
OF the great and important subjects that agitate
the country,--a correct knowledge Of which is
so important TO them, separately and collective
", but which were falsified by bank advocates,
British agents, and hirelings.
The People are cnquirng what they arc TO do
to be saved-not from the dangers and evils that
await them in another world--bnt in this, The
nomination Of Henry Clay for the Presidency,
by the federal convention Of this State, and the
contempt shown by come Of the party in the Le-a
gislature by voting for a fcdcralist for United
States Senator, in defiance of the expressed will
of the people, show our political affairs in such
light as TO startlc every freeman. We are
threatened by trinity of denominations, Wiz
hiph-tariff, national bank, and abolition. This
state Of things, together with the approaching
election, renders another call necessary We
maleit confdently--we make it in the name of
that country that holds all that is dear to US as
Amcricans--we ma~ It in the name of the ever
veneratcd shades Of the ilustrious sages and hcs
roes of The rovolution-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 tho democracy Of this great
confederatcd republic, whooccupy the broad and
fixed ground Of equal rights to all the people,
special privileges to nonc--a strict and literal
construction Of the constitutional powers of the
general government, with all the cardinal prn
ciplcs of democracy as taught by Jefferson. and
sustained and carried out by Jackson and Van
Buren, And an anyielding 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,
expcdient and equitable measure We will sup
port an independent Treasury independent of
the stock, obers and banka)--an entire and eter-
nal divorce Of bank and state; illegally connect
ed BY Alexander Hamilton. Wcwill oppose the
unhallowed course Of trading and banking poll
tcians;a national bank in whatever form the
federal aristocracy may bling It forward, bcliev-
ing il to be unconstitutional, inexpcdient, and
nlanifcsily dangcrousand unjust, andmOre than
once stamped with popndr disapprobation.
We .wIll advocate free and direct trade--equal
Iburthens and behcfts--iiniyors niifrage--a &C.
neral and well digosted system Of cdueation--
popular legislation Religions frecdom--freedom
Of the press and Of apernh--and an enlarged
specie basis for a sound currency. We 60 for
union without consolidation--sta rights with
out nnlihcation--a we'll organized militia ays-
TEN, and an entire abolition Of the shin-plaster
System. And Of course We viii oppose exclu
syo privileges; .nonopolips enlargement Of the
constitution by construction; the collecting Of
more revenue than is sufficient to dcfray thocx
pcnses OF an economical government. The fed,
