KKrE obseryed with pain and regret, thst b

support the former and oppose the latter.
"E observed with pain and regret, that in
w this and in ali the adjoining coun.
ties, the democratic party were obliged to pat.
ronise federal papers, for they had none of their
ownl or be without the advantage of local news.
The aristocracy--the few usual, had all the
Influence of that mighty engine, the press, ope.
fating in their cause, and used il in the propo-
CATION and dissemination Of their own selfish
principles and desgns--As American citi.
cons devoted TO our country's interest, honor
and glory, We twelve months ago mounted the
war-saddle-pealed the battle cry,--called, and
not in vain, on the freemen, by the love of their
eountry--native or adopted--to rally round a
banner that we raised We called for aid and
patronage (Which were literally afforded to en-
&blc us to establish paper in which he democ-
raey could see reflected without distortion or in
vertion, what was passing in the world; and af-
fording them the means olinformng Themselves
OF the great and important subjects that tate
the country correct knowledge Of which il
% important TO them, separately and collective.
y, but which wero il-,fied by bank advocates
British agents, and hirelings.
The People are cnquiring what they are to do
to DO 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-
Gslature by voting for fedcralist for United
states Senator, in defiance of the expressed will
Of the people, show our political affairs in such
light as 10 sturte every freeman. We are
threatened by trinity Of abominations, viz;
high-tariff, national bank, and abolition This
state of things, together with the approaching
election, renders another call necessary. We
make il 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 ma me of the ever
toAo oIa Iaa nf he ho
roes of the revoluton--of those who conducted
ouF councils and led our armies in the glorious
cause of liberty.
The PfNEY Woons PLANTER will, as heretofore,
act in eonsort with the democracy Of this great
confederated republic, who occupy the broad and
hxed 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 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 a CONSTITUTIONAL,
expcdient and equitable measure we will sup :
part an independent Treasury independent of
the stock ,jobers and banks]--an entire and eter
nal divorce Of bank and state: illegally connect
ed by Alexander Hamilton. We will oppose the /
unhalowed course Of trading and banking poll !;
ticians; national bank in whatever form the
federal aristocracy may bring it forward, bcliev-
ing il to be unconstitutional, inexpcdient, and I
nanifestly dangerous and uni ust, and more than A
once stamped with popular disapprobation.
We will advocate free and direct trade--equal :.
blrthens and bcnefts--unvcrsal suffrage &c.
neral and well digcstcd system of education y
popular Neutrality-suspicious. frccdom--freedom r
Of the press and of speech-and enlarged
specie basis for a sound currency. We GO for !,
union without consolidation--state rights with
cut nullification--a we'll organized militia sys o
tenn, and an entire abolition Of the shin plaster p
system. And of course we will oppose exclu- /,
sivs privileges; monopolics; enlargement of the =
constitution by construction; the collecting ot
moro revenue than is sufficient to defray the OK 9
psnses Of an economical government The fed e
sral aristocracy who demand laws, not like hon I,
est men TO protect them in their RIGHTS but to
protect them in their NoSoroLiEs, will find US
active opponents.
We have taken our post and will not be found
slumbcring: no, but Wig ient, active and jealous l.
Ia stream many tides against the foes Of
the people"-repelling every invasion of their
rights--warnng them OF approaching dnnger-l
apprising them of the hypocritical shifting and
ehufiiing 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 (e,o."
mont. 1t will be our duty, and such our plea a
sure also, to keep them constantly before the i
minds of our readers. The condition of the peo. i
pie cannot remain stationary if it does not ad-
vance, it will rctrogade.
We will oppose the dark designs and hellish .
efforts Of fanatcal abolitonists, without enqur-
ing to what sect they beong--whether they are !
of the north or south, cast west We hold
them to be the enemies of our institutions of es-
tablishcd 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,
the foul and malicious attacks Of avowed en-
emies. The latter VIC dcspife, the former we pi
ty. Having advert9d, iu 9 crfsory and general =
manner, to what are our views and The cours
under our guidance That the Planter viii pursue,
----also to its plan and obiect---WS wil leave G.
tails to speak for themselves. i
The publishers in commencing volume,
would say that its publication is commenced un
dor much more favorable circumstances than 4
that which preceded it, They have more expe. \
rience-assurancc of more assistance--a number
Of valuable contributors--and entro new ar
rangements; added to which they promise their
patrons that not only will the same excrtions be
used which has obtained for this paper liberal 7
patronage, but their claims on the public will bo
renewed by increased effort. In its columns will
be found all that adds interest to a newspaper
