True Democrat. (Paulding, Miss.) 1845-18??, 1846-11-11
PROSPECTUS OF THE
True Democrat.
sEcoNp VOLUME.


A YEAR has elapsed since the establish
ment, in East Mississippi, Of an independ-
emit 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 en-.
bodiments, the men who would WIN office
and emolument undeserylngly During the
wear, the True DEMocRAT has been slgnally
successful in the accomplishment Of aims
which It's Publishers believe to have been, and
still are, emiasntlg patriotic. Patriotic, be-
cause pure patriotic, because public and bone
fetal, and patriotic, bccnusest tending TO check
that spirit Of demagoguisn, which would at
power were permitted to it, ride rough.shod
over the masses in the sacred name of coun-
try and the interests of country Many, mis-.
taking our object, have taken exception to our
bold, incorporating course. SANDER has
not forgotten us, and we have received some
g hard blows intheform of scurrilous epilhets
and ribald language. Bnt the men, active IN
public life, who are placed foremost IN popp-
lar caNse, must have a strange idea OF human
nature ifthey do not anticipate all OF this--ay,
more liza vestige Of cha racter can be saved
from the rubbish Of lalsehood heaped upon il,
they do remarkably we'll, and deserve the con.
aratuaIions of their friends. The attempted
ruin of reputation has been incident to public
life in all ages. The best men of Rome were
exiled Coriolanus was exiled, because too
proud to lick the dust beneath the feet OF GER
tain 7oouldbc political demigods our own
Immaculate Washington had his reylers then
why should we-too humble for even COM
parison with these tatheT-spirits of the past
expect to escape the dart of dwarish envy or
sneaking maliceq
. Through the year gone by, we have been
sustained by men whom corruption cannot
touch, and whose esteem strengthens and fresh
ems under the influence of calumny and vitupe-
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-p principles
forgotten today in the partizan triumph ofyes
terday, and laid aside for the omnipotent 'spoils
principle-are gaining rapidly in the esteem
OF the people The yeomanry oil the East re-
cognize the pure and elevated character OF our
object and being men whose blistered hands
and embrowned features tell how we'll and no.
nestly their fortunes have been won, we rely
upon them confidently for continued verdict
IN eur favor
Otthe year upon which we have entered we
have but little to say; twill be, with us, as the
lat--principles unchanged, course unallered,
Our opponents in opinion will be treated with
all the courtesy which they may deserve-no
more; and should we find plausible lie ahoat
we will sink the thing before it is fast anchor
ID in the brains Of the unsuspccting or the ere.
