Piney Woods planter. (Liberty, Mi. [i.e. Miss.]) 1838-1840, 1839-10-26

w TINS ana IN all inc COuh-
tics, the democratic party were obliged to pat
ronise federal papers, (for they had none of their
| own or be without the advantage of local news.
The arstocracy--the few as usual, had all the
influence Of that mighty engine, the press, opc-
rating in their cause, and used il in the propo-
CATION and dissemination of their own selfish
! principles and designs-As American citss
zens devoted to our country's interest, honor
and glory, VIC twelve months ago mounted the
! war-saddle--pealed the battle cry,--called, and
not in vain, on the freemen, by the love OF their
country--native 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
yertion, what was passing in the world; and af-
! iordlng them the means oiinforming themselves
of the great and important subj ects that agitate
! tho country,-a correct knowledge of which NJ
so important to them, separately and collective.
! ly, but which were falsifed by bank advocates
British agents, and hirelings.
The People are enquiring what they are to do
to be sayed-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 federalst for United
States Senator, in defiance of the expressed will
OF the people, show our political affairs in such
light as TO startle every freeman. We are
threatened by a trinity of denominations, viz:
hgh-tariff, national bank, and abolition This
state of things, together with the approaching
election, renders another call necessary. We
make it confdently-we make it in the name Of
that country that holds all that is dear to us as
Americans--we make it in the name Of the ever
venerated shades Of the illustrious sages and he
roes Of the revoluton-of those who conducted
our councils and led our armies in the glorious
of liberty.
The PINEY WooDs PLANTER will, as heretofore,
act in consort with the democracy of this great
coniederated 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 prn-
ciples 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 iobers 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
federal aristocracy may bring it forward, believ-
ing it to be unconstitutional, inexpedient, and
manifestly dangerous and unj ust, and more than
once stamped with popular dsapprobatlon.
We Will advocate free and direct trade--equal
burthens and benefits--universal suffrage &C.
neral and well digested system Of education
popular OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES decentralization
of the press and of speech-and an enlarged
specie basis for sound currency. We 90 for
union without cOnsolidation--state rights with
out nulification-a well organized militia sys
tcnl, and an entire abolition of the shin-plaster
system. And of course we will oppose eXclu-
sve privileges; monopolics; enlargement of the
constitution by construction; the collecting of
more revenue than is sufficient to dcfray 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 MoNoPoLIDs, will find as
active opponents
We have taken our post and will not be found
slumbering; no, but vigilent, active, and jealous
--''a stream many tides against the foes of
the people"--repelling every invasion of their
rights-warning them of approaching danger
apprising them of the hypocritical shifting and
shutting of their old enemies, the feds.
There are no maxims more true or more de-
serving to be remembered than that ''the price
of liberty is eternal vigilance" and that 'power
is always stealing from the many to the feic"
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 Peo-
pie cannot remain stationary if it does not ad-
vance, it will retrogado.
We will oppose the dark designs and hellsh
efforts of fanatical aboitionists, without enqur-
ing TO what sect they belong--whether they are
of the north or south, east 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
1 less of the opinions of weak or feigned friends,
or the foul and malicious attacks of avowed en-
emies The latter we despise, the former we pi
| ty. Having adyerted, III cursory and general
manner, to what are our views and the eours
under our guidance that the Planter will pursue,
also to its plan and objective will leave O.
| tails to speak for themselves.
The publishers in commencing new volume,
would say that its publication is commenced un
der much more favorable circumstances than
that which preceded it. They have more expe.
.ricnee--assurance of more assistance--a number
Of valuable contributors-and entire new ar
rangements added to which they promise their

renewed by increased effort. In it's columns will
be found all that adds interest to newspaper
