not in vain, on the freemen, by the love OF their

patronage (which ere literally afforded, to en-
able us to establish paper in which The democ-

The People are enquiring whattley are TO do
TO be saved--not from the eangeTsnHd owls 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 lie
gislature by voting for a federaiist for United
States Senator, in defiance of the expressed VIII
Of the people, show our political affairs IN such
light as TO startle every freeaian. We are
threatened by trinity of denominations, VIZ;
hgh.tariff, national bank, and abolition. lbs
state OF things, together with the approaching
election, renders another call necessary. We
make il confdently--we make il 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 illustrious sages and he
roes of the revolution--of those who conducted
our councils and led our armies in the glorious
cause Of liberty.
The PINEY Woops PLANTER will, as heretofore,
act in consprt with the democracy Of This great
confcderated republic who occupy the broad and
fixed ground OF equal rights to all the people ,
special privileges TO none--a strict and literal
ef the constitutional powers OF the
renerai government, with all the cardinal pFn- .
:iples Of democracy az taught by jefferson, and "
ustaincd and carried out by Jackson and Van
}uren And an unylelding supporter OF the con
tituton and free institutions as identified with
he administration Of the government Of our
wn state and the onion. As a constitutional,
xpedent and equitable measure we will sup '
ort independent Treasury independent Of

Il aristocracy who demand laws, not like hun to
men to protect them in their RIGHTS, but to
otcct them in their MoSoPoLlEs, will find us
tive opponents.
We haye taken our post and will not be found

There are no maxiIns more true or more de-
