The reader will readily perceive, in the
above. published in the fast Democrat with
great gusto, as editorial, that same old song
abort the poor planter and the. sOsalthy
mGngfaoturvr! Jake Thompson revived it
on Monday last al Benton, and The editor Of
the Democrat Is, Of course, bound 10 keep
up the tune!
Every planter in the country cannot fail

above homily. It is nothing more than a
Struggling effort TO uphold loeofocoism and
unPFincipled and unworthy OfHcesholders.
Little Bob Walker has been emitting up
great many fantastic tricks about the tariff.
&C., and as matter Of duty, tray, bIanch,
sweetheart and all must join in.
We most readily admit that the profits
of great many Ofour planters are small, but
not so small as represented il this locofOco
assertion. unless i is among planters who
cultivate poor. impoverished, worn ont land,
or are what arc termed "bad managers
nor can we subscribe TO the assertion that
the profits Of the manufacturers are SO great
as represented by this veritabIe locofoco.

interest 9th community at the expense of
another, as any man living, and can see no
reason Why this war Of determination is
waged agant that numerous, industrious,
aud increasing portion Of our people. en-.

the other portions ofthe people against them
10 keep in power a set of political drones
and unPrincipled holders-such men
as Bob Walker, Jake Thompson, &c.
We are glad to perceive that there is a
commendable spirit manifesting itself among
the purest and best men throughout the
whole south to encourage and propagate do.
nestle manufactures, and the day is not dis

capital which il now tax on the ''smsll
profits" Of the planters made profitable
through manufacturing establishments, bull
