In commencing and sustaining :

cess must depend very much upon
the kind feelings, llberality and pat

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
DEMOCRATIC BAN n { 4
Published in Borling- Green, No.

In taking charge Of the editorial de-
partment Of the "Banncr," we deem
it a duty which we " to TIE public,
to give an outline Of the policy by
which we shall be governed. Demo-
Gratis from childhood, we shall advocate
the principles of our party, not because,
we now see them triumphant and victo-
rious; but because, we believe them Pc
c%uliarly ada pied to 'he genius of u il
situations, and necessary for the perpe-
tairv of our Republican government.
y g spirit Of manly candor we shall
oppose what We deem he political here
sizes Of cur opponents, out We shai! new
er descend TO low and personal abuse OF
distinguished men.
We believe i National Bank ~unconsti-
tu,ional and inexpedient; and al This time
indeed an "obsolete idea" We shall
steadily and firmly contend for the re-
duction Of the Tariff TO the Compromise
of 1882, believing the present odious
act peculiarly unjust and unequal in its
bearing upon the different portions Of
the confederacy. States-right politi-
clans in the strictest sense Of the term,
we shall increasingly war against the
Distribution act, the Assumption Of the
State debts, and every other new-fangled
notion having for It's object the creation
among the States Of a feeling Of depend
ence upon the General government. A
! plain, democratic, economical form Of
government, is what we wish to see;
and we shall contend for the exercise by
the States of all The rights and powers
not clearly delegated by them through
the constitution to the General govern
ment.
In advance we say that We shall ts
the advocates of measures, and not a
men; but we are free 10 confess that we
have ever regarded James X. Polk as
o fit exponent Of democratic principles;
and shall cheerfully give our feeble sup
port 10 his f~ayorite measures: the lnde-
pendent Treasury, the regulation ofthe
Tariff, the occupation Of the Oregon, and
last, though net least, the immediate an
nexation of Texas.
H. our owr State we are aware, that
! discord has pervaded our ranks; but we
regard j. more as the offspring Of per-
.oual prediction and prejudice, than
any real difference of principle. The
union Of our party entire, is our most
cherished wish. We are all brothers
advocating a common cause upon which
may depend the perpetuity 0: our insti-
ltutions. measures, not men; princi-
pies, not expediency," is our motto; and
guided by that Curious motto, we shall
endeavor TO pour oil on the troubled
waves Of faction.

The papers Of the day arc teeming with too
many fables which are calculated 10 excite, while
they deceive the people. Among these We have
no hesitation il naming the following, as tar as
we are advised:
From the Correspondence of the Boston Atlas
LONDON, May 10.
at is well known, and mentioned the circum-
stance in postscript OF a pri 9th, that impor-
tant dispatches were sent 10 Mr. Pakenham on
that day by this Government and it is believed
that some reoy has been received. In recent
number of The London Atlas, the subject is thus
referred 10:
~, is no secret in well-iniormed quarters thai
dispatches have been addressed by Lord A berdeen
10 the British resident at Washington, of the nic}t
serious and emphatic description, and lha. plies
thence are expected by Government with the
greatest anxiety, not 10 say apprehension. Lord
Aberdeen's object is understood 10 be 10 bring the
affair 10 an immediate settlement Further de-
layon the part OF America will not, il is believed,
be submitted TO- The Atlas concludes h. re-
marking that Lord Aberdeen l,N insist on! The
m0Nii 81 Mc Columbia rirer; the question OF
peace or war, therefore, hinges on the point
whether President Polk will resign the pre!en-
sons of The United States 10 the mouth Of lha,
river"
ms may be no secret in London perhaps
but We suspect i! is rather more OF 1 secre. in
Washington. In other words, We doubt much
whether Lord Aberdeen has given any such in.
siracions. And we doubt. too. whether Lord
Aberdeen is so strange q statesman as percmpto-
rilY 10 n>is; upon The mouth Of The Columbia, al
least 81 degrees South ofthe celebrated 10Th de-
gree Let us say, with the same bodIess, with
which the London Atlas appears 10 reveal the
secret that if the question OF PEACE or war hinges
upon this issue, We go for WAR. Wedoubi, how
