rcoNn VOLUME.


III YEAR has elapsed since the establish
ment in East Mississippi, OF an independ-
amt Preea devoted 10 the object Of cleansing sne
Democratic party Of It's impurities, unmasklng
ne hidden purposes Of affected patriotism, and
defeating those purposes BY defeating their en-
hodimenss a,--,he men who would win Office
and emolument undeseryingiy. During the
year, the 1'RUE DEMocRAT has been slgnally
sncressf,l Il the accomplishment Of aims
which its Publishers believe 10 have been, ana
still are, eminently patriotic. Patfionc, Oe-
cause pure; patriotic, because public ana penes
Ecial and patriotic, because tending 70 cneC -

not forgotten Us, and we have received some

and ribald language Bnt the men, active N

lar cause must have q strange idea OF human
nature ifthcy do not anticipate all q thls-ay.
morel Ifa vestige Of character can be saved
from the rubbish Of falsehood heaped upon 4,
they do remarkably well, and deserve the con-
CALCULATIONS OF their friends. The attempted
ruin ofrepntalion has been incident to public
life ia all ages. The best men Of Rome were
exiled; CorioIanus was exiled, because TOO
proud 10 lick the dust beneath the feet OF GER
tain aoouldbe political demigods our own
immaculate Washington had his Tevllers then
why should we,--too humble for even COM
parIson with these fatherspirits Of the past
expect to escape the dart Of dwar6sh envy or
sneaking malice
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 viluPe'
ration. The large and constantly increasing
circulation Of the True DEMOCRAT is the
best evidence Of this assertion. Our principles,
the olden principles IF Democracy principles
forgotten today in the partizan triumph OF yes.
.erday, and laid aside for the omnipotent "spolls'
principle-are gaining rapidly in the esteem
Of the people The yeomanry OF the East re-
eognize the pure and elevated character OF our
object; and being men whose bllsiered hands
and embrowned features tell how well and no.
neslIy their fortunes have been won, we rely
upon them confidently for continued verdict
in our favor.
Oithe year upon which we have entered we
have but little to say: il will be, with us, as the
lat-principIcs unchanged, course unaltered
Our opponents in opinion will be treated with
all the courtesy which they may deserye-nO
more; and should we find plausible lie ahoat
we will sink the thing before il is fast anchor
cd in the brains Of the unsuspecting or the Gre
dulous.
