TO OUR ADVERTISERS.

As the business season is fast approach.
ing, and every one is preparing to supply
the wants Of his customers in their res
pective lines of business, il is necessary
that they should send in their new sdyer>
tiseuents as early as possible. We intend
this year giving our patrons 3 better
chance of displaying their advertisements,
and will endeavor TO give all an equal
showing in Our columns. Our subscrip>
tion. list is already large and increasing.
In the Crosse Tets country our circuIa-
ton is unsurpassed, while in our own
parish, the Planter finds its way to the
parlor Of almost every family. This is
an inducement to others Who have not
heretofore advertised with US, to avail
thenseiye. of the chance at the opening
of the business season.

u We understand that the discussion
on Saturday last, at Donaldsonyille between
the Hon. Miles Tayicr, and GIendy Burke,
Esq, resulted IN the total discontinue of Mr.
Taylor. Our informant says that Nj Burke
is by no means 1 pleasant or an agreeable
speaker. but that when he went into a dis
section of the votes Of Mr.. Taylor on The
Sugar question, he seemed as if inspired, and
the shouts that went up at the conclusion Of
his speech, told how he had won the day
Probably Nj. Taylor would like to meet Mr..
Burke again.

DEFINITION OF DEMocRAcY.-Tbe
Charleston Mercury gives the following
definition Of Democracy:
Some people have an idea that De-
naoevacy means a certain political comb
nation 10 get office or power. With such
people those are not Dem ocrats who dc
not aid in obtaining the end Of such a
combination"
If the editor had been writing q des-
cription Of the prominent leaders of the
DaVidson>slideli spoils Democracy OIL
this District, he could not more apt!y
have portrayed their opinion Of what, to
them, constitutes Democracy.--FeAciano
Democrat.
And wherein consists the difference
Democracy is always the same. Twis:
ii and turn it into any shape you please,
and Po'ypus like, it always comes back
to its first sbape-Detnocrscy. On the
n side it is Davidson, Congress, spoiIs,
etc, and on the otier, sisur, Congress,
spolls, etc. Now silt both ofthese firms
and what is leftln the sitter emoc-
racy.

THE American PRocLANArsor.-Oa our
first page this week, will be found an address
to the people OF the State issued by order oil
the American Executive COMMITTEE. It is
a perfect Ieiutation Of the calunnious char
ges made against the American party b. the
Democratic address issued some few days
since. Election time is fast approaching and
something must be done to doctor a very
sick horse which the frs. Monday of Noven2-
Der threatens TO kill, and so a large and yerv
extensive pill in the shape of a Democratic
address, is administered to the Democratic
party with q view Of stimulating il TO some
exsrtion. We ask our readers to give it a
careful perusals A more perfect and %concla-
sive sefrtation Of a villanous SANDER was
never made public.

"A National Democrat is 3 Democrat

Is IT A fAcri-We have understood
from q very reliable source, ;ha, in the
event Of The Hon. Tom Green Davidson
being defeated Cor Congress, that his
friends will use every etor, to secure his
election as United States Senator, in
place of Hon.J.P P. Benjamin. Another
informant states that the rumor ia cor

ally speaking, wherever there is smoke,
it j. 3 pretty good evidence Of frs. At
all events, it shows that his friends are
determined to be prepared for a defeat,

that their faith in his election as Con-
gresham is pretty well shaken.
