SECOND PROSPECTUS,
The unparalleled success with which our enter

icduce our friends to form clubs for the promotion
» 0 f the cause, we shall, after the first of August,
reduce the price to FIFTY CENTS a copy, or two

of the friends of Reform, they shall have light.

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
PLANTERS’ GAZETTE.
Edited by D. G. Cotting, Washington, Georgia.
IN offering a new Journal to the public for pa
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
futuie time find themselves deceived or disappoint
ed in its course.
And first, as to our political creed. Believing
that there is at present i crisis in our national al
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 T exerted
upon our institutions oy ambitious and unprinci-
I pled politicians; that the Constitution, that safe
: guard of our libeities, is in danger from their ma
chinations, and that the Bta»e Rights doctrines and
| the principles of the revolutionary patriots only,
can preserve it inviolate, w r e shall give our unde
viating support to those doctrines. Our motto
shall be “Principles and Men;” therefore, of the
promim nt candidates for the Presidency, now be
fore the people, we choose those for our support
who we believe will carry out State Rights mea
sures, viz: General WILLIAM HENRY HAR
lUSON and JOHN TYLER, gentlemen whom even
their enemies allow to be true patriots and hones
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
Planter the latest and best information of the im
provements, now a most daily taking place in his
business. We are aware that in thetrife 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.
