The Highest Price this Year.
On Friday last, a h!id of Tobacco, made by Col.
Abraham Lewis, of Pennsylvania county, was sold
by P. k J- W. Dudley, at the high price of Twenty
Dollars, which is the highest price any Tobacco
has sold for. It was pronounced by the best judges,
to be the finest hhd of Tobacco opened here this
year. This Tobacco was purchased by J. W.
Morgan, to be manufactured into his Premium
Brand, expressly for his customers. If the}' wish
the finest Tobacco they ever used, they will try
this. Mr. Morgan has presented us with a few
rolls of this Tobacco, which for beauty and supe
rior taste, cannot be surpassed. After the sale,
Coi Lewis regaled the merchants and planters pre
sent, with a cold Collation; a large tub of Hard Ci
der being,conspicuous, which was much admired by
both the Democrats and Whigs. aug 4
PROSPECTUS
OF THE
PLANTERS’ GAZETTE.
Edited by D. G. Cotting, Washington, Georgia.
N offering a new Journal to the public for pa
g tronage, it is customary and proper to set forth
in a prospectus, the principles which its conduc
tors intend to support, and to give such pledges as
to its management that its patrons may not at any
future time find themselves deceived or disappoint
ed in-its course.
And first, as to our political creed. Believing
that there is at present a crisis in our national af
fairs, which requires the hearty and unremitting
exertions of every true lover of his country to
preserve it from the destruction that menaces it
that a powerful and fatal influence is now exerted
upon our institutions by ambitious and unprinci
pled politicians; that the Constitution, that safe
guard of our liberties, is in danger from their ma
chinations, and that the State Rights doctrines and
the principles of the revolutionary patriots only,
can preserve it inviolate, we shall give our unde
viating support to those doctrines. Our motto
shall be “Principles and Men;” therefore, of the
prominent candidates for the Presidency, now be
fore the people, we choose those for our support
who we believe will carry out Slate Rights mea
sures, viz: General WILLIAM HENRY HAR
RISON and JOHN TYLER, gentlemen whomeven
their enemies allow to be true patriots and honest
men.
As the title of our journal indicates, we shall
devote much of its columns to the interests of
Agriculture. We shall endeavor to give to the
Pbnter the latest and best information of the im
provements, now almost daily taking place in his
business. WT are aware that in the strife of party,
agriculture, the foundation on which society rests,
has been too much neglected by the press, and that
some “Reform” is needed in this respect.
All the aid in our power shall be given to the
cause of literature, and we shall endeavor to ren
der the Gazette as interesting as possible to every
class of readers.
