In relation to his own political opinions, he con siders tin tn to tie such as have been maintained in the Southern States, from the adoption of the Federal Constitution down to the present time. He believes that Federal encroachments, should be guarded against with vigilence and repelled with promptness Vet, however, in contending for the Rights of the States, he cannot go tothe extraordinary and danger ous extent of some of the politicians in a sister State ; because he believes it would ultimately end in the de- Struction of the government and all its rights His opinions however he considers as nothing more than the opinions of any other individual, he will therefore endeavor to act the part of a faithful Jour- F nslist without being subservient to the views of any , party, leaving his paper open to the investigation of truth, and all interesting subjects by all.

UNION OF THE STATES AND „ THE KIGHTS OF THE STATES. SINCE issuing our proposals about a year since, tor enlarging and improving the Southern Banner, events have transpired in this State, which render it a duty w e owe to ourselves, as w- ll as our friends and patron*, to issue a nru’ prospectus. It isimpoesible fur the most superficial observer of the signs ot the times, not to have drawn from them the irresistible conclusion that the political elements of our State have, within the last -h months, under gone a revolution us great as it was sudden and unex pected r and we feel it a duty we owe to the public, to scatter any lingering mists which may still surrvui d us. produced by this war of elements' tins breaking up ot old party foundations, and this mingling ..f ex tremes hitherto so opposite in the formation of new Ones, in order that our true position may be revealed, otlito those with whom we shall hereafter »ct, and to those by tv horn we may be opposed.

Our object isjimply to call tht? attention of the public to our press, ajud tffeniijt the aid of those in its behalf with whom as a party we are determined to act. The self styled “ State Rights Party” having adopt ed the doctrine of nullification in its most obnoxious sense, as the very : soul of its creed, we wash our hands of it forever, and pfeßge our best exertions to support that party both at the South and through out the whole eountry, which, rallying around that abused and villified patriot, Andrew Jackson, have pledged themselves to maintain, against consolidation hand, uud nuiiUMMUMMi on tne other, the integri ty, honor and glory of our free institutions. With this free and candid acknowledgment of our viewsand sentiments, we submit our paper to the ten der mercies of our opponents, and to the protection of our friends Uur opposition to nullification hereto fore, has, as might have been anticipated, called down upon us the proscription of a portion of our old friends, and their exertions to prostrate us increase, in pro portion as their zeal for the Calhoun mania waxes hot. We hope, however, that the disposition lately evinced by the friends of the Constitution and Union, to up hold and sustain us against their nullifying efforts, will grow and strengthen in a proportionate degree, and that we will be enabled, by their countenance and as sistance, to “go ahead” in a course so disinterested as respects oursolves, and a cause so sacred as regard, the happiness and prosperity of our common country TERMS.— Three Dollars per annum in advance, or Four Dollars after the expiration of the year.—Pay ment at the end of the year will be considered in ad vance, if the subscriber continues for another—if not he will be charged for the time due, at the rate of Four Dollars per annum.

Oh! there are moments, dear and bright, Where love’s delicious spring is dawning, Soft as the ray ot quivering light, 'I hat make the early smiles of morning. ’Ti-> when warm blushes paint the cheek. When doubt the thrill of bliss enhances. And trembling lovers fear to speak, Yet tell their hopes by silent glances. And when young love rewards their pain, I he heart to rosy joys beguiling : W hen pleasure wreathes the myrtle chain, And life’s gay scene is fair and smiling. Oft shall they fondly trace the days, When, wrapt in fancy’s wishing trances, Tb< y sigh’d and lov’d to gaze. And told their hopes by— silent glances. MOUNTAIN BOY. Difficulties of Editors.— Tho truth ia, no cd tor cannot step without treading on sonie bodv’s toes. If he expresses his opinions tenrlessiy and frankly, he is arrogant and pre sumptuous. If he states facts w ithout com ments, he dares not avow his sentiments. If he coD'Cienciously refuses to advocate the elairn- of an individual to office, he is accused of personal hostility. A jackanapes, who measures off w ords into verse as a clerk does apo —by the yard—hands hun a parcel of stuff tha' gmgles like a bandful of rusty nails aud a gimblet. and if the editor is not fool enough to print the nonsense—“stomp my paper, I won’t patronize a man that’s no better judge of poet ry.” \s il it was patronage to buy a paper ,t about one t alf m*Te than so much waste paper would rost. One murmurs because his naper is too !;:• r >ry annthor because it is not h'wrary enough. Due grumbles because the advertisements engross too much room—a nother complains that the paper is top large, he < an’t find time to read it ail. One wants a type so sma-'l ft a' a rniscroseope would ie indispensible in t very family—another (■reatens to di.-coui : r.ne- the‘ pet unless the. ■ iters are halt an inch long-—one old lady ictuallv offered an additional price fora paper fiat should be printed with feuch types as are -ed for handbillls. t’Every subscriber has a plan of his own for > onductmg a journal, and the labor of Svsi hus was recreation when ci-mp-red with that of an editor who undertakes to please all.” j Crowded Profession. — When Mr. H was admitted to the bar as a practitioner at the Common Pleas, his friend Col. VV. inquired oi him where he was going to settle. He re plied that he knew not; the profession was so crowded there was but a poor chance for him. “Do yo> know ol any place, Colonel, where I may earn enough to get my hiead?” “Why, no; law yers are as plenty almost as niihtary officers, who are so thick that you can scarce tiF>ve a rod without butting upon one. I think here ts no great chance for you: but stop, let’s *ee; it may be there is a chance.” The young man was all attention & expectation .“You will oblige me, my'dear Col*, by informing me.” “Well,” said the Colonel, “as I observed, iliete may be, possibly, a chance tor von at one place, and only one within my knowledge. I purchased a little piece of rnedow last week, <bout three acres, and I have not yet heard of anyone’s locating himself there!” Unwise men.— The angry man—who sets his own house on fire, in order that he may burn up that of his neighbor. The envious .man —who cannot enjoy life bec.ause others do. The robber—who, for the consideration of a few dollars, gives the world a right to hang him. « ho hypochondriac—whose highest happi ness consists in rendering himself misera ble, Fho jealous man —who poisons his own banquet, and then cats of it. The miser—w ho starves himself to death, in order that his heir may feast. ! he slanderer—who tells tales for the sake of giving his enemy an opportunity to prove him a liar. ~P< ) LITIC A L. From Ihe Standard of Union. ‘‘ Just as the twig s bent, the tree's inclined■ ,, Progress of Parties in the United Slates.—-- Whatever were tire designs of the Hartford Convention, or whatever the means proposed to be employed in their accomplishment, no cause has ever Deen shewn why the sentence of condemnation passed upon that assemblage should be reversed. Its deliberations were conducted with closed doors, and ull access io the debates was cut off-—these and other precautions used for the purpose of conceal ment, were well calculated to excite suspicion of mischievous mtenuon; and these suspicions derived force from the known sentiments of its leading members. These men had been so* lecled by the Bniisn Agent, Henry, as pro per instruments to commence the work of ex citing disuffection to the Union, and (hey bad corresponded with him. L therefore required no great str< ich of credulity to believe ihat some understanding existed between Hie Con vention, or ils leaders, anil the British govern* menl—a conclusion sirengtoened by the fact that the latter made liitie secret ol their hopes founded on the action of that body. Although the end that it had in view was not openly avowed, and could be discerned on ly through the medium of inference and de duction yet many of the fundament-til princi ples, or axioms, upon which it based the legal ity of its proceed ngs, and sought justification for its acts, have been preservi d ard banded d>>wu for the information ofi posterity. They are professedly deduced from the celebrated Virginia and Kentucky resolutions of'9B and ’99; and lend to shew how the most whole some political (ruths may bo perverted, and made instruments ol evil to the country for whose peace and security they were devised. Hero may be leduced a moral worthy to be regarded by politicians < ontending for the es tablishment of new and untried principles; they should be udmonished io abstain from stretch ing to its utmost extent and principle in tne science of politics, since the point to which it may be safely carried is but a short distance removed from where danger begins; and moo vation in governmnn s is generally attempted by pushing to extremes doctrine-- believed to be popular. Calomel, and Arsenic, in some diseases are found safelremedi«s when admm i-tered in certain quantities; but increase or douido the dose, and they become more nox ious to iife 'han tiie disease they were intended to cure. So the same principles may conduce to the life or death of tho State, as they are temperately or rashly applied. The H iriford Convention junto cast ns even upon <he Virginia Resolutions, and believing them »«> be popular with the Republicans of the day— >s well'frmn intrinsic merit, as tho high authority of their origin—took them up a-> texts on winch to comment in terms suited to the eiuis it hoi in view. These doctrines asserled Sole iG -lits in their utmost constitu tional extent — .nd as language cannot be con structed •<» precise <■> to convey all that ta meant and no more; and as hum m intellect is ot vnrmiis grad -s, and all cannot understand alike; th»?«e two nnperlections in the medium >1 coiumtinieation left open a door lor the ap plieaiton of those doctrines tn a sense very different, as Mr. Madison hirnselt has lold tis ti on that in whi< h they weie originally o en, ded and understood.
