Or This number completes the tirst half
volume Of THE DEMOCRAT. How far we
have fulfilled the promises made at the out
set, it is not for us TO say,-after six
months intercourse, our readers can Judge
whether we have offered 6 to our political
friends in this section of the State an organ
and advocate of their principles" worthy
their support. We have no fresh promises
TO make. In steering our little bark over
the rough political sea we discern ahead,
we shall be governed in future, as We have
been so far on the voyage, by the honest
dictates Of eur best judgment, even al
though-to change the smile from the sea
to the land-we should occasionally be
found like Robinson's mule, in gang by
ouTself." But, our main object in alluding
to this point in our progress, is to- solicit a
more extended circulation for the paper.
We know many democrats in this and adj
joining counties, who should encourage a
press here, whose names are not on our
subscription books. We would not beg
the patronage of such, or urge it upon them
as a duiy,--had rather at once abandon the
enterprise,-but we respectfully submit
whether they would not probably get their
money's-worth, besides advancing in some
small degree the political faith they profess.
We print more new matter, each week,
than any other country paper in the State ;
as we do ali our own work, we carry on
the paper at much less expense than al
most any others could and if this paper
is discontinued for want Of patronage, nc
other democratic printers need select this
as location. But we anticipate no such
catastrophe and doubt not the Democrat
will be continued through many volumes,
A bantling reared SO roughly at the start
viii soon learn to stand alone and provide
sor itself--and, we may hope, do accepta-
bic service in the good cause to which ii
is devoted:
We must take the occasion to return our
sincere thanks to those who gave given as
their patronage. Though we cannot boast
very large circulation, we have the best
set of subscribers, in proportion to the num-
Der, of any paper in the State. Some few
objected to the advance terms, because they
had previously paid in advance for papers
which were soon after discontinued. We
trust that such will now take our assurance
the paper will he continued thrnugl
the volume, and forward the amount Of the
subscription.
A portion Of the paper has been, and vii
continue to be, devoted to miscellany, the
news of the day, &c. We shall endeavol
to give, as far as our limits will permit
the pith of whatever Of entertainment o.
instruction, fun, frolic, or fashion, may b
afoat. We offer this as an inducemen
(added to an incorporating warfare up
on their political heresies,) for the patron
age of our wing friends.

All THE DEoENcY AND INTELLIGENoE.-
The BLACKBOARD editor of the Natchez Cou-

nous individual in the same para

Bob Walker" Is this what is called whig
!" decency'! Such vulgar billingsgate,
while it does not advance his cause, must
sink the editor in his own estimation and
that of his readers.
