True Democrat.
aECnNn VoLuME.

A YEAR has elapsed since the establish
Ment in East Mississippi, of an ndepend-
snt Press, devoted to the object Of cleansing the
Democratic party of its impurities, unmasking
the hidden purposes of affected patriotism, and
defeating those purposes by defeating their ''eme
bodments."-the men who would win ottict-
and emolument undeservingly. During lha
wear. the TRUE DEMOCRAT has been signally
successful in the accomplishment OF ends
which its Publishers believe to have been, and
still are, Cminently patriotic. Patriotic, be-
cause pure; patriotic, because public and oene-
fetal, and patriotic, because tending to check
that spirit of demagoguism, which would Qi

over the masses. in the sacred name OF coun-
trv and the interests of country. Many, MIS-
taking our object, have taken exception TO our
bold, incorporating course. SANDER has

Through the year gone by, we have been
sustained by men whom corruption cannot
touch, and whose esteem strengthens and fresh

ration. The large and constantly increasing
circulation of the True DEMOCRAT is the
best evidence of this assertion. Our principles,
the olden principles of Democracy-principles
forgotten today in the partizan triumph ofyes-
terday, and laid aside for the omnipotent 'spois''
principle-are gaining rapidly in the esteem
Of the people. The yeomanry OF the East re-
