phaically to the true, sincere friends Of Equal
Rights--that is, to those especially who have
at heart the advancement of DENocRAcr un-
alloyed, to a position from whence time nor
the restless ambition Of unscrupulous men
may never thrust it forth. True, we are
scarcely from the citadel Of Democracy (ths
ballo, box) where a hard contested battle has
been fought, and imperishable honors won;
but, in order to gather the rich fruits of that
glorious triumph, and to stamp the spirit Of
Democratic Equality indelibl, upon the in
sl,u,ions ofour common country, we should
remember the sages motto: "In time ofpsace
prepare for war" and that the price Of liber-
,y is eternal vigilance


Our foes, though defeated, are not van
ouished: already have they sounded the cla-
rion to gather and again marshal their scat
tered forces under new banner;--though wo-
fully frustrated in their late unholy attempt
TO overthrow the freedom of the American
elective franchise by unmanly appeals to
the passions. they are vigilant. and ready to
take advantage of any division which may
arise in our ranks, knowing well as they do,
their only hope of success liesin their being
able to raise new party name, popular il
itself, and thus filter away our strength.


Notwithstanding their having adopted the
euphonic name of american Republican,
there are too many ofthe native instincts Of
Federalism in their bosom to impose them
selves with any hope Of success, upon the
American Democracy. They still present
the same uncompromising hatred to Equality
the same withcring contemptuous scorn for
the laboring Masses-ihe same intolerable as
sumption of superiorty-the same desire for
a consolidated government chained togeh-
cr by an overwhelming monicd anstocracy.


They car never hope to rise again In this
country under the name of "Whig'-they
cannot gather their scattered forces upon
whose questions the fiat ofhe American peo-
pie have sunk to endless perdition-that is'
the Bank, Tariff, Assumption by the genera
government of State debts. But rise again
they viii, and on their banner we shall see
inscribed, "PoLITIcAL AND CIVIL DIsFRAS-
cH1srMENr'lo 10 the wanderer from European
despotisms.


Hence it is that we address ourselves spc-
cially to those who are with US in sentiment.
they cannot but see the necessity there is for
maintaining an active, efficient partizan
press-one devoted to the spread of sound
orthodox Democratic principles-one ever
ready TO denounce any and every encroach-
ment upon the prerogative of The People. If
we neglect those positions that cautious
policy bids us watch and guard from danger,
The moment we think danger remote, danger
then may be neareslus.


But short season will expire ere we en-
ter the political arena for the fall elections,
and our position being one of the most i'm
portant and commanding in the State, having
large and extensive body ofcountry on both
sides of us unsupplied with democratic pa.
per, we wish to throw as far into the heart Of
these hitherto neglected counties all matters
likely TO strengthen the cause we labor for.


We shall vigorously sustain the claim some
three or four counties in This section of the
State has upon the consideration of the De-
mocratic party. Hitherto we have been
overlooked.


SO much Of our paper as will convey
a concise knowledge of the great Cotton
markets of Mobile and New Orleans, will
command due and most scrupulous atten-
tion as to lateness and correctness. The
market of this city is revised aud corrected
weekly by one of our first business houses
Local matters will receive passing attention.
The growth and prosperity of this city will
be noted and chronicled The arrival and
departure of Steam Boats will be reported.
