The aristocracy--the few as usual, had all the
influence of that mighty engine, the press, ope
rating in their cause, and used il in the propo
cation and dissemination of their own selfish
principles and designs--As American citi
zens devotee to our country's interest honor
and glory, VIC twelve months ago mounted the
war-saddle--pealedt the battle cry,--called and
not IN vain, on the freemen, by the love of their
country--native or adoptcd--te rally round a
banner that VIC 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
yertlon, what was passing in the world; and af-
iording them the means ofinforming themselves
of the great and important subject that agitate
the country,-a correct knowledge of which is
so important to them, separately and collective

British agents, and hirelings.
! 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 federalist for United
States Senator, in defiance of the expressed will
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 confidently--we make il in the name of
that country that holds all that is dear to us as
ma no in fI,a,
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 PNEY WooDs PLANTER will, as heretofore,
act in consort with the democracy of this great
contederated 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-
clPies OF democracy as taught by Jefferson, and
sustained and carried out by Jackson and Van
Buren And an unyeldng supporter of the con
sttuton 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 stockholders and banks)--an entire and eter |
nal divorce of bank and state illegally connect |
cd by Alexander Hamilton. We will oppose the |
unhallowed course of trading and banking poll
ticians;a national bank in whatever form the
federal aristocracy may bring it forward, believ-
ing il to be unconstitutional, inexpedient, and
manfestly dangerous and unjust, and more than
once stamped with popular dsapprobatlon.
We will advocate free and direct trade-equal
burthens and behefits-universal suffrage ge.
neral and well digested system of education
popular egislation--religious freedom--freedom
of the press and of speech--and an enlarged
ann nia boai far M corI
union without consolidation-state rights with
out nullifcation-a well organized militia sys
tenn, and an entire abolition of the plaster
system. And of course we will oppose cxclu-
sive privileges; monopolies; enlargement of the
constitution by construction; the collecting of
more revenue than is sufficient to defray the OK.
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 MoNoPoLIEs, will find us
active opponents.
We have taken our post and will not be found
