situations ofour common country, we should
remember the sages motto: "In time Of peace
prepare for war" and that the "prics of lib er.

the passions: they are vigilant, and ready to
take advantage of any division which may
arise in our ranks, knowing we'll as they do,
their only hope of success lies in their being
able to raise a new party name, popular in
itself, and thus filter away our strength.
Notwithstanding their having adopted the
euphonic name Of "American Republican,"
fhora To- n ba i've
Federalism in their bosom TO impose them
selves with any hope of success, upon the
American Democracy. They still present
the same incorporating hatred to Equality
the same whitening contemptuous scorn for

hose questions the fat of the American peo-
pie have sunk to endless perditon-that is,
the Bank, Tariff, Assumption by the general
government of State debts. But rise again

they cannot but SEQ the necessity there is for
maintaining an active, efficient partizap

orthodox Democratic principlss-ons ever
ready to denounce any and every encroach-
ment upon the prerogalve of The People. If
we neglect those positions that cautious
policy bids US watch and guard from danger.

then may be nearest us.

So much of our paper as will convey a
a concise knowledge of the great Cotton
markets of Mobile and New Orleans, will
