Democratic KcfOrmer
DRECEDENT renders il necessary for
Il us, in the present instance, TO say
something to our friends relative to the
course We intend to pursue and the politi-
cal principles under which we shall be 60
yerned.


1t will be our purpose to publish such a
sheet as will be acceptable, in point Of
NEWS, to all parties, but at the same time,
our political tenets being truly democrat
ic, we shall use our utmost endeavors to
promote the great and glorious principles
Of Equality, Unawed by the power Of the
ruling dynasty Of our State, and unbribed
by The Iucre of modern whiggery.


Reform in the present state admins
tration, in the present banking systnm,
and the present unjust tax laws which are
in force, will be our constant aim, and our
untiring exertions will be used to bring a
bout reaction in the public sentiment,
on these vast and important topics.


As regards our choice for the highest Of
fees known to the Constitution of our
country, we shall cheerfnlly lend our fee
BILE aid to the support of the present talen-
ted and patriotic Observation-Disclosures
VAN BUREN and RICHARD NJ. JoHNssN.


The columns of the Reformer will be FL
led with general sy nopsis ofthe proceed
ings Of Congress and our State Legisla-
ture, whilst in session, weekly review of
the Gotten, produce and money markets,
domestic and foreign intelligence, agricul-
ture, science and literature--and, in fact,
we will endeavor to render our sheet a
faithful chronicler of the times.


The permanent establishment Of de-
mocratic paper in this section Of the state,
should be apparent to evsw member of
the party. We behold, upon every hand,
organs springing up like mushrooms in the
forest, dedicated to the unholy and fannti-
cal cause Of federalism, and warmly sup
ported by the friends ofthe cause, and the
monied power of Louisiana, whilst demo-
cracy is suffered to bleed to wane and to
die, for want of proper exertions on the
part of its advocates. Shall it be so still?


The great commercial advantages en-
joycd by Bayou Sara, situated as she is,
upon the banks of the broad Missippi, as
well as the high-minded and liberal popu-
lace who inlnbt and surround it, is, we
think, a sufficient inducement for us to en-
ter into the enterprize which our prospec-
tus indicates.


Having thus laid before the public a
brief outline of our intentions, for patron
age and support we throw ourselves upon
the intelligence ofan appreciating public.


The first number of the Reformer will
be published on or about the 10th of Sep
tember next, on an Imperial sheet, at five
dollars per annum, in advance, or six dol.
lars at the end of the year.
