XHrE observed with pain and regret. that in

WYE observed with pain and regret, that il
w this and in all the adjoining coun
ties, the democratic party were Obliged to pat
ronse federal papers, (for they had none Of theil
OWN or be without the advantage OF local news
The aristocracy--the few as usual, had all the
influence of that mighty engine, the press, ope
rating in their cause, and used II in the propo
CATION and dissemination of their own selfish
principles and designs-As American citl
zens devoted TO our country's interest, honol
and glory, VIC twelve months ago mounted the
war-saddle--pealed the battle cry,--caled, ane
not in vain, on the freemen, by the love OF theii
country--nativc 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 af-
fording them the means ofinforming themselves
of the great and important subjects that agitate
the county, correct knowledge of which Is

w. but which were falsifed by bank advocates,
British agents, and hirelings.
The People are enquring what they are to do

await them in another world--but in this The

contempt shown by some of the party in the Le-
gislature by voting for federalst for United
States Senator, in defiance Of the expressed will
of the people, show our political affairs in such
a light as to staItle every freeman. We are
threatened by trinity of denominations, viz;
hghtariff, 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 Of
that country that holds all that is dear to us as
Amercans--we make it in the name Of the ever
venerated shades of the illustrous sagcs and he
roes Of the revoluton--of those who conducted
our councils and led our armies in the glorions
cause of liberty.
The PISEy WOODS PLANTER will, as heretofore,
act in consort with the democracy of this great
confederated 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-
cples of democracy as 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 CONSTITUTIONAL
expedient and equitable measure we will sup
! port an independent Treasury independent of
| the stock-io 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;a national bank in whatever form the
federal aristocracy may bring it forward, belicv.
ing il to be unconstitutional, inexpedicnt, and
manifesty dangerous and unjust, and more than
once stamped with popular disapprobation.
We will advocate free and direct trade--equal
burthens and benefits--unversal suffrage ge-
neral and well digested system of education
popular neutrality-suspicious. freedom--freedom
of the press and of speech--and an enlarged
specie basis for sound currency We go for
union without consolidaton-state rights with
out nullifcation--a well organized militia sys
tenn, and an entire abolition Of the Shin.plaster
system And of course we viii oppose exclu-
sive privileges; monopoes; enarge ment Of the
constitution by construction; the collecting of
more revenue than is sufficient to defray the ex
penses of an economical government. The fed
cral aristocracy who demand laws, not like hon
est men to protect them in their RIGHTS, but to
| protect them in their MoNoPoLIEs, will find us
active opponents.
! We have taken our post and will not be found
slumbering: no, but vigilent active, and Jealous
ia stream many tides against the foes of
the people"-repelling every invasion Of their
rlghts-warning them of approaching danger
apprising them Of the hypocritical shifting and
| OF tnelr ola enemies, the fedS.
| There are no maxims more true or more de-
serving to be remembered than that ''the price
Eofliberty is eternal vigilance, )" and that ''power
is always stealing from the many to the feto .
| These truths we will not lose sight of for mo-
ment. 1t will be our duty, and as such our plea
sure also, to keep them constantly before the
minds of our readers The condition of the PEG. |
pie cannot remain stationary if it does not adj |
vance, it will retrogade.
We will oppose the dark designs ard hellish
efforts of fanatcal abolitionists, without enqulr
ing to what sect they belong--whether they are
OF the north or SOUTH east or west We hold
them TO be the enemies of our institutions Of es.
tablished order and Of the union. And in direct
opposition to the doctrines, interest and wishes
OF the present administration. We will strike
at such be they of what party they may.
The course prescribed we will pursue, regard.
less of the opinions of weak or feigned friends,
or the foul and malicious attacks of avowed en-.
emles The latter we despise, the former we nj
ty. Having adverted, in cursory and general
manner, to what are our views and the course
under our guidance that the Planter win pursue.
ALSO to It's plan and objective will leave g.
tails to speak for themselves
Inc publishers in commencing new volume, ,
would say lnat It's publication is commenced un !,
der much more favorable circumstances than
that which preceded it. They have more expe. :
Of more assistance--a number
OF valuable contributors-and entire new ar,
engagements; added to which they promise their y
patrons that not only will the same excrtions bo
USED which has obtained for this paper liberal
patronage, but their claims on the public will bel
renewed byincreased effort. In its columns will
ps found all that adds interest to newspaper. :
