n VXTE observed with pain and regret, that il
w this and in all the adjoining coun
ties, the democratic party were obliged to pat,
ronise federal papers, (for they had none Of their
h own or be without tho advan tage Of local news
The interchangeable few as usual, had all the
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 citis
zcns devoted to our country's interest, honor
and glory, VIC twelve months ago mounted the
war-saddle--pcalcd the battle cry,--called, and
not in vain, on the freemen, by the lovcof their
country--native or adoptcd--tc 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
yertion, what was passing in the world; and af-
tording them the means ofinforming themselves
Of the great and important subjects that agitatc
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 hrelings
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 fedeFalist for United
States Senator, in defiance of the expressed win
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 confdently-we make ii in the name Of
that country that holds all that is dear to us as
Americans--we make il in the name Of The ever
venerated shades OF the llustrious sages and he
roes of the rcvolution-of those who conducted
our councils and led our armies in the glorious
cause of liberty.
The PiSEY WOODS PLANTER will, us heretofore,
act in consort with the democracy of this great
eonfederated republic, 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 az 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,
expedent and equitable measure we win sup 4
port an independent Treasury independent OF
the stockholders and banks)--an entire and eter
nal divorce Of bank and state: illegally connect
ed BY Alexander Hamilton. We will oppose the
unhallowed course Of trading and banking poll
ticans; national bank in whatever form the
federal aristocracy may bring it forward believ-
ing il to be unconstitutional, inexpedient, and
manifcstly dangerousand unjust, and more than
once stamped with popular disapprobation.
We VIII advocate free and direct trade--cquall
burthens and benefts-universal suffrage--a ge-
neral and well dgested system Of education--I
popular neutrality-suspicious. freedom--frcedom
Of the press and of speech-and an enlarged
specie basis for sound currency. We go for
union without consolidaton--state rights with.
but nullifcation-a we'll organized militia sys
tenn, and an entire abolition Of the shin paster
system. And of course we will oppose exclu-
sive privileges; monopolies; enlargement of the
constitution by construction; the collecting of
more revenue than is sufficient to defray the ex
penses of an economical government The fed
eral aristocracy who demand laws, not like hon.
est men to protect them in their RIGHTS, but to
protect them in their MoSoPoLEs, will find us
active opponents. IL
We have taken our post and will not be found
no. but vigilent, active, and Jealous
ia stream many tides against the foes Of i
the people-repelng every invasion Of their 4
rIghts--warning them of approaching danger i
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 BIO remembered than that sthe prico /
81 liberty is eternal vigilance, and that sspower
Is, always stealing from the many to the fem I
These truths we will not lose sight Of for 4 mo-
nent. 1t will be our duty and as such our plea. 9
'ure also, to keep them constantly before the r
minds of our readers. The condition Of the nan a
'le cannot remain stationary if it does not ad.
'ancc, it will rctrogade.
We will oppose the dark designs and hellish S
Efforts OF fanatical abolitionsts, without enaur- d
ng to what sect they beong--whether they are ii
7 the north or south, east or west. We hold p
mem to be the enemies of our institutions Of es- AZ
ablished order and of the union And in direct Il
opposition to tho doctrines, interest and wishes nj
! the present administration. We will strike Il
such be they of what party they NAV.
Tue course prescribed we will pursue regard re
'ss OF the opinions of weak OF feigned friends Ii
r the foul and malicious attacks Of avowed en- III
mics The latter we despise, the former we ri nj
y Having adverted, in cursory and general si
tanner, 70 what are our views and the course M
nder our guidance that the Plantcrwill pursue, til
also to its plan and objective will leave q. vi
Ills to speak for themselves.
