IO 1ItE kO63lAAOs
Our readers will see from this number of ou
paper, that the charge of the ''Banncr" has pass
ed into our hands. In assuming the guidance o
our democratic paper in This county, we keenl!
feel the responsibilities that rest upon us. Blu
we will say to our friends, that we have embark
ed in this enterprise with a full knowledge OF III
cares and IFS trials, but with a settled determine
Ition to devote orr means and our energies, 10 the
task of making our paper a medium of correct in
formation upon all subjects of interest poiitlca
and scientific, agricultural and commercial.
The "Eanner'' will be found, as heretofore, the
nncompromising advocate of the cardinal princi'
pies of the democratic party, and TO them must
we chiefly look for encouragement and support
in this our undertaking. But at the same time
we pledge our humble exertions, to an I'M
firing and jealous support of those political prin-
the success of which we sincerely be-
lieve will ever constitute the guaranty of our
country's prosperity, we can also assure our
friends who differ with us in sentiment, that our
course will be marked with @ proper regard for
the opinions of others; and that our columns, de.
void of abuse and scurrility, shall speak forth our
views fearlessly, but with becoming dignity that
should not offend the reasonable man Of any party.
We claim not for ourselves the experience and
ability enjoyed by some for conducting a public
but we claim an honesty of purpose, a
zeal in the support Of principle and a willing
ness TO labor in a good cause, which we hope will
merit the liberal patronage of our friends in Pike
and the surrounding counties.
A good newspaper is well worthy the support
and liberal encouragement Of every community.
is the forerunner of civilization, the prompter
of good morals, the medium Of knowledge, and
the safeguard of republican institutions. Itgives
tone, character and importance to the country in
which it is located, and no one DESTROYS Of ad-
vancing the prosperity Of his own torn and cOun-
try, will refuse the trifing sum that is asked in
return for tie labors of the printer.
A good cause, though a great incentive to in
dustry and active e~xertion, will not of itself sus-
tain a paper. Weneed means, and our location III
one OF the first counties OF the State, and IN a
section Of country which is destined from IFS nat
ural advantages to become one of the most four
regions of the Mississippi valley, encour-
ages us to believe they will be readily supplied
BY the willing patronage Of our fellow-citizens.
Louisiana, too, was but a short time since a viii
lage, it was afterwards a tounn, but now is a city,
well worthy Of the name-a place of business
and trade, and marching on in improvement with
unparalleled strides. We have every thing nee-
essary to make a useful and interesting paper, if
our friends will take On interest and exert them
selves in our behalf. With a larger subscription,
We can still improve our paper, and we hope our
friends will send in their names as soon possi-
bic.

SfS' <C"SVIf y Us
receipt of the first number Of a new paper
of the foregoing title, just started by P. G.
Furgurson, Esq, at Ste. Genevieve, in this
State. The Democrat good sized sheet,
making a neat appearance, and promises,
Judging from the present number, to render
'yeOman service in the great cause, democra-
cy. In defining his position, the editor
uses the following plain and manly talk:
"Our course, therefore, will be firm, but
mild; bold, but persuasive; fearlesss, but re-
Ispectful; and while we shall assail error, ty-
ranny and falsehood with an unsparing lash,
we shall always endeavsr to be courteous
to all men and to do justice to friends and
foes.
With regard to our political opinions, we
deem it unnecessary to enter into a minute
detail at present: our principles are those
of the great Democratic party of tho Union,
which are known to all. But of late there
has arisen a temporary division in the ranks
of the Democratic party in our State, and il
is necessary that we should state to which
wing or branch of the party we belong
This division was created by our Oldest
public servant, in the Senate ofthe United
States, and the grounds of his alienation
from the main body of the party are too well
known to require repetition in this place,
We believe that Senator to be decidedly
wrong in the position he at present occu-
pies before the people of Missouri; we be-
lieve it TO be adverse to the great princi-
Piles Of Democracy; we further believe that
his recent course is but the first step to.
wards a change which he has determined to
make-a desertioH from the ranks of the
Democratic party, aud a union with the
Wings. This is the conclusion we.have ar
rived at, after mature deliberation: we
know Of but one plea that can be urged in
his behalf, and that is the plea Of ,nsanity."

The Washington correspondent of the Mis-.
scuri Republican writes, under date of NOvem.
Der 10Th, as follows:
"The rumOr that a difficulty still existed be.
tween this Government and France, on account
of the position taken by NJ. de ~TOcqueville, is,
believe, correct. The news received this morn
ing, however, or the dismissal of the French
Ministry, will doubtless remove the only i'm
pediment in the way of an amicable adjustment
Of the points in dispute"

II In the last Washington papers quite an in
|teresting correspondence appears, between the
Hon. Henry s. Foote, Senator from the State Of
Mississippi, and the Hon. T. L. Clingman, men,
her Of Congress from the State Of North Caro-
Mr.. Foote addressed inquiries to Mr.. Cling
man upon the subject Of the Wilmot ProUisO,
and desired to know of him, as a prominent men,
Der of the wing party Of the South, the feelings
and views of the citizens of his State, and 'the
South generally" and also the 'sprobable action
of his political associates, should the present sec
tional contest be pushed TO extremities." Mr..
Clingman replies in q short but able letter, TAX
ing strong grounds against interference in the
slavery question by Congress. After arguing
briefly the unconstitutionality of the exercise Of
the power to abolish slavery in the District of
Columbia and to prohibit it in the Territories, he
writes as follows:
"You ask. in the ,econd place, what ! believe
likely to be the course of the south should such
"a contingency occur? There was but one of the
States having any considerable number of slaves
in relation to which / had any doubts. From
her frontier position, and the powerful influences
brought TO bear on her, / had some fears as 10
what might be the action Of Kentucky. But l
have been gratifed beyond expression by the
gallant stand which that noble State has recently
taken. She has thereby shown that she will not
abandon her sisters in the hour of danger, but
that she will, II necessary, take the front rank
in the struggle for the preservation Of the rights
and liberties of the white race of the south.-
The union Of both parties in Mississippi is a
type Of what will occur elsewhere. The South
ern States ought to have but one feeling on this
question, as they can have but one destiny. /

A rupture in the Methodist Church took
place some time ago in Alexandra, Va
The rupture related to the Northern and
Southern question, and an appeal to the

before Judge ScoTT OIL the claims OF two
sets of trustees to the church property. the
church ediice having been shut for some
months, and the two congregations wor'
shipping in differenthalls The Judge spec
Oily gave his decision, ruling out both boards
of trustees, and directing that the properly
be placed in charge Of three trustees OF ca'
ferent denominations, until q comPromiss

cured in due course oflaw.
