TO be in the highest degree Conducive,

of the South, and in accordance with the
true meaning and spirit Of the Cons,itu
ton.


Being a strict constructionist Of the
Constiiu ion we shall oppose the cstab
lishinent of National Bank as an unau
thorizcd and dangerous grant of power,
such as was never contemplated by its
flamers. We shalIaIso oppose a National
Bank, believing il totally incxpediont and
dangerous in the highest degree to the
Liberties ofthe people.


We shall ever be found opposed to the
misuse or the assumption of power,
whether in the Federal Executive head,
legislative body, or judiciary of the coun-
try.


! 1t will be our purpose to laud virtue
though clad in the habilimonis ofpoverty,
and dcnounce vice whether in high or
low places. In doing this, we shall speak
of men and measures as we find them,
and with firm grasp attempt to tear the
veil under which political defornlity has
sought shelter in these evil days of polit
: ical apostacy.


In the discharge of our duty as.the con.


ductor ofa political press, we shall scru-
: puloasly avoid wounding individual and


private feelings. "Our banner is now to


the battle and the breeze" We have
planted our feet upon the ramparis of the
+ Constitution, and call upon the people to
}, come to the rescue. The constitutional
: banner waves over us in this contest for
: free principles, and if we fall let its sacred
l. folds be wrapped around us.
