Mississippi Democrat. (Carrollton, Miss.) 1844-18??, 1844-12-25
MISSISSIPPI DEMOCRAT.

VIZ issue to-day the first number Of the
MISSISSIPPI DEMOCRAT, which we offer 10
our political friends in this section Of the
State as an organ and advocate Of their
principles.
The time may be deemed by some in.
auspicious for the establishment of a poll
tical newspaper-so soon after the termi-
nation Of one of the most violent and de-
cisiye contests which has marked the an.
mails o. the Union. To this we answer
that there is now but the more need loI a
yigianl and Independent press--not to fan
the flame of discord, and arouse anew the
excitement SO happily alIayed by the yer.
dict Of the bnlot.box, but 10 scan with a
rigid scrutiny the conduct Of those who fill
public stations, aud to arraign at the bar
Of public opinion the chosen executors
OF the popular will, for every deriIection
from duty. Other contests, too, as impor-
tant as that which has terminated, will
arise hereafter. Already the defeated
party has thrown off the Aimsy veil which
disguised their yindictiye malice towards
a portion Of our popuIaiion--the large
class who have sought among US an asy-
Ium from the oppression and tyranny of
the privileged robbers ofolher countries;-
already have they formed an alliance with
a faction who seek to fix the exercise of
the rights of liberty by the accident OF
birth, and to light the torch of religious
bigotry and persecution in this free coun-
try. Ifso they will it, the Democratic party
is prepared to meet them on this issue,
as did their fathers in the days of Mr.. JEFF
ferson; to resist every attempt to extend
the present naturalization laws, or TO
abridge the privilege Of becoming citizens
and holding property among us, and toI
continue this the land of liberty, and the
home of the oppressed of all nations.
The result of the recent election has
inspired the Democracy with renewed faith
IN the purity of the principles of Equal
Rights and popular government In the
words Of an accomplished and eloquent
champion of the Cause" The Domocra
ic principle, having for time been over
by arts ana Misrepresentation,
las gathered energy TO throw off The
weight that bore it down: IT HAS RISEN
NICE MORE IN IT'S MAJESTY, to be the
,uiding star Of our nation, and the hope Of |
To ensure the fruits Of this victory

or to a rigid accountabiIty.--to assist
o defeat the future wiIes and machina.

iIeges through the medium of Banking
