I'm ISSUING A PROSPECTUS TO ASK SUBSCRIP
lions the COMMERCIAL the subscriber feels 1t duty
define his position, to leave doubt upon the
minds of his patrons to the principles his paper Will
sustain.
In the mutations of past years the Editor has had one
paramount principle before him Southern Rights, under
the Constitution. have been the aim and object OF all ms
efforts. Several years ago. We inserted IN our froSPecu
the follow words: The Commercial is model OF Pr
ltica Independence; nevertheless Southern Rights Will
always supersede the claims of party OF every name
From this avowal it not difficult to judge what woud
be when the hour arrived that should place those
rights within tangible issue.
The of great and good President Pierce IN
which he asserted the rights of the south under the Con-
suton, contained the precise doctrine that The CONNER
cal had advocated for years. and the CINCINNATI Con
vention having sustained that doctrine, we found IN the
Great National Democratic party, those with whom we
could consciencousy under the influence of udg
the impulse heart The principles ayowed
in the Cincinnati. Platform will be sustained now and so
long remain in public life.
We believe Buchanan and Breckenridge will be the hon.
est and faithful opponents of the principles which ad
here and on which the safety and happiness of the South
depend Pure in private character, honest in public life
and of unmpeacable PATRIOTISM their election can alone
preserve this Union from ruin and disaster.
Those who have heretofore read paper know that
have long desired to meet the hour when the South
will demand her lights without stint compromise and
how many of the National Democrats of the Free States
hope and believe bear Banner through the 'bat
tie and the breeze and assist t,ansix it the
parts of the Constitution
w Strict attention paid to reports of MAJ kets domes-
Respectfully, T. LoRING.
n B. Postmasers aud others who may be pleased to
aid in the circulation of The Commercial will be expected
to charge a reasonable commission for their trouble.
