be in the highest degree conducive to the
the flturewclfrue and permanent interests
Of the South, and in accordance with the
true meaning and spirit of the Conslitu
ton.


Being a strict constructionist of the
Constiiu ION we shall oppose the estab
ishment Of a National Bank as an unau
thorized and dangerous grant Of power
such as was never contemplated by its
tanners. We shall also oppose National
Bank, believing it totally inexpedient and
dangerous in the highest degree TO tho
liberties ofthe people.


We shall ever be found opposed TO tho
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 habilimenis ofpoverty,
and denounce 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 deformity has
sought shelter in these evil days of polit
ical apostacy.


IN the discharge of our duty as the con.
lductor ola political press, we shall scru-
pulously avoid wounding individual and
private feelings. eOur banner is now 10
the battle and the breeze" We have
planted our feet upon the ramparts of tho
Constitution, and call upon the people 10
come TO the rescue. The constitutional
banner waves over US in this contest for
free principles, and if we fall let its sacred
folds be wrapped around us.
