State Administration having issued its mandate
for the denomination of Barsfow and the Bal

upon 'fhich they TO take their stand. Ths
main plank, it seems, is to u opposition to
Prohfbitory Liquor Law, though at the last cleo
ton Gov B.Rsrow openly pledged himself 10
slgn such law. The Democrat. in its last issu.
thus undertakes TO speak for the party:
The Democracy will oppose the passage o,
this BILL by all ligi;ila te and honorable means in
the coming Struggle, ore OF those Statutes,
which, s. hiie it denies tue right of men to use
their own judgement, in regard - what they
drink, does not seek By any means TO chaoye the

appetite cannot be legislated away"

TNHE undersigned propose starting Weekly
l. Paper in the city of Parlkville, Platte coun-
ty, Missouri, bearing the above title, to COM
mence as soon as the necessary arrangements
can be made.
The great and growing Commercial advan-
tages of Parkville and the adjacent country,
and the interest felt in Missouri and the West
ern and Southern States with regard to the set
ttement of KansaS-the political caste of her
institutions, together with the Importance of
properly developing the resources of Platte
and Clay counties, and the Great West gene
rally, have induced us to contribute our mite,
lend our efforts to forward these great ends.
1t Will be our object, in the publication of the
g 'sSouthern Democrat" to reflect the true sent-
ments of Western Missouri; to vindicate her
right to use all honorable and necessary means
for the protection of her institutions, and also
to contribute whatever may be in our power to
encourage the immigration of pro-slavery men
into Kansas Territory.
In short, the Southern Democrat'' will
earnestly endeavor to advance the interests of
Missouri, especially this portion OF the State,
and will defend the South and her Institutions,
when assailed by Northern fanatics or political
demagogues.
And believing that the permanency of the in
stitutions of Missouri, and also the peace and
happiness of her citizens depend upon the ad-
mission OF Kansas as slave State, we shall
labor INCREASINGLY and untiringiy, to bring about
this result.
The .ESouthern Democrat will be above me-
dunn size, and will be furnished to subscribers
at 81 90 for single copy; ten copies for ST.
90, or twenty copies for SD 90, payable on re-
ceiving the first number.
