VHVHE success that has attended almost every


IL effort of literary, liberal, and useful ten
dency IN this community, has led to preparations
for publishing paper in Liberty, Amite county,


to be as far as the publishers are able adapted to
the wants and interests of the people.


The detailed-the faithful history of the past,
as reflected by human nature, is the telescope
through which we purpose to view the future
therefore it is our intention, and will be our du-
ty-and as such, our pleasure also, to furnish
such authentic historical articles as will be a
tource of profitable and pleasing information to
she readers of the Planter. All we know, or can
know of the mysterious future, is and must be
derived from the past. The same or similar eau
ses produce the same or similer effects: as human
nature is still the same, the past will be our data.
History, when we consult its pages, tells us that
there are but two great political parties of the
world-those that are for a government of the
people, and those who wish government over
the people: a government of the many, and
government Of the few,--frecdom or bondage.


Mans capacity for self government had been
doubted until the experiment in America was
tarly severly tried. The batteries of disappoint.
ed and restless ambition; the most powerful agi-

appointed ambitionists, who, like Catalne, would
sacrifice their country to the love of power
With these facts before us, can it be reasonably
expected that the present administration should
pass without oppositionl


Many have said that the late, as we'll "a the
present administration, would not answer; most
of whom have neither time nor inclination to in.
vestigate the truth of this-being engaged in
hunting proof to show that they were right in
making the prediction


Uutil theinyentive powers of the human mind
shall contrivee some way by which every aspirant
to office can have the one he wants, opposition
may be expected. Union and education, rem
dered effective by free press in America, have
enabled the people as a nation, 10 not only crush
foreign tyranny, but to support themselves a.
gainst internal factions not less iniInca to their
peace and prosperity Union gave harmony to
feeling; response to sentiment; and samenoss to
action. Education gave the right direction TO
the combined energies, and taught the people TO
know and value their rights--the blessings of
popular government. The press was the con-
ductor by which an equilibrium was produced
and maintained through all the paEto,
