insisted on bringing back the Tariff System to Its legitimate Revenue uses.

 But the Federal Party was not yet extingulshed Their extraordinary efforts in IS40 to defeat 'that abIe Statesman. Martin Van Buren, aided as they were by the vlest deyices and by the grossest abuse of the money power, contributed, with the singular condition of the country to place them agaln at the head of the Government Ii IS not necessary for us 10 racapitulale the struggles which have since en- sed to describe the indomitabe spirit of our frends or their final glorious triumph in the election ol James k Polk, Another era is then opened to us His administration has just commenced. He comes to carry out the principles of the REPUBLICAN PARTY and the pledges to that end under which he was elected He takes the JEFFERsoNIAE ERA for hiS standard and WE, too, come forward to support the principles of the Republican Faith, and to give to hisadpinistration fair, liberal, and efleiensnpport We oppose ousconsructon oi the Con siituiinn--a NATIONAL BANK in any oi It's forms an extragagaut and unconstitutional system ot Ma tional Internal improyements-an lnsidious Dlstrl- buti0n of the Proceeds 9f the Public Lands-the Assumption of State Debts, and such a Bankrupt Law as aisrraced the Statute Book in lo42.

 We shall contend against an unjust and unequal Tariff. We Ei support far and just revenue standard This rate should be moderate in itself, and sufficient 10 raise adequate means, along with te proceeds of the public lands to meet the expenses of the Government economically administered. We are therefore in favor of the most enlightened sys-

 

 and the wants of the Treasury-.'a system adjusted on a scale consonant with all the great and various interests of tie Union without sections It IS now hoped tIIat the time is near at hand wherein Just and equal system ol revenue may be introduced ih onler to silence complaint. and to equalize the bles sings and the bGldens of Government. Such, We are satisfied is the true spirit of the Presidents late admirable Inaugural, whose general views ot the character and principles of our Government may safely defy all ilberaI criticisms of the late English journals. 1t looks b reYenne standard ot duties, honestly levied for the purpose of raising the neces sarv funds to deiay the economical expenses ot the Government; and to be levied in such manner as to eqaalze, as far as practicable, the public burdens upon all classes and sections.

 We shall deem it our solemn duty to respect those essential compromises in the Consultation which se- cured it's adoption. These were 'Sthe result of a spirit of amity, and oi that mutual detefence and concession which the peculiarity of our political situation rendered indispensable" They directly condemned the rash and maddlesonle disposition on the part of the hbolitionsts to interfere with the peculiar institutions of one portion of the Confede raey. which is strongly calculated to distract our public councils, and to create some alarm about the UNION itseiE

 We pledge ourselves likewise to sustain the Ad- ministfation in the efforts which will be made to secure 10 the United States the undistnrbed posses son of Oregon. However much the late English journals may have pretended to preeate-howeyer idly they may hayeridicaled outright to the country WE entertain no doubt tie iusttitle ofthe American Government. We feel assHredthat ill the settlement of this aomeH0us question, nothing will be omitted by the President Of the United States which may be demanded by proper spirit of coneiliation, and a due regard ta the rights and fonor of our country.

 But oher sub jects now cali upon our attention and at tAs time transcendng all others, is the ques ton of the ANNEXATION OF TEXAs. It is scarcely necessary for IS 10 pledge all our efforts ta the final consunmation of that great question. None have been more zeaously devoted than ourselves to the admission of the LONE STAR into our constellation. Shouda any difficulties occur on the part of her Gov ernment, or of the "fIGGs of the United States, we shall spare no eXerioas to remove them.

 These important questions once adjusted and the Tariff system brought 10 the proper revenue point, sTe may then expect mere tranquility in our party rslatjous-bui Peace, netef. The danger can never be over, long as Ne have party which is actuaed by such false principles, which Is so strong in tsell so ably organized, closely cemented together, so idoajroaslY attached 10 its leaders, and so fataIiy impeted by is excited passions, and its mortified pride. They are esen Re# preparing to attack the ADMINISTRATION, to IRisreprcsent its measures, abuse its appointments and pull down the REpUBLI- CAN PARrY, in order that they may lise upon its ruins

 Forourselyes, we are prepared to resist them now and hereafter, vigorously the Editor of this paper has done for more than forty years. With suchaaopposition VIC mustcXpect a constant cncoun- ter.-and we go to Washington with determined spirit te resist themto expose their heerodox prin- cipcs- clearaWay their rmsrepreseatations and to bafla the election o their leaders, N e shall attempt to discharge this duty, we hope, under due sense o the dignity of the PREss. We shall be willing te cope with adycrsaries, not in personal abuse, but with fair arguments, in the open field.

 For the purpose oi resisting so formidable an op- position, shall spare no honorable efforts to leeE our own party united. We hold that this Govern. h t,, ,,lf is their power to give and to take away the highes offices ot the BEPUBLic-and that every man, how 1 ever distinguished by ability or services, shoult calmly wait until t shall please the people to cal him into their service. Such the course pursued by our party at the last election Such was tt manncrin which James K. Polk has been called iron his retirement, and such is the example which th people will hereafter initiate. fl the present Admin istrajion shall be crowned with the benefits whcl every good man wishes, and which every homes patriot will attempt 10 accomplish. In any event we will sa1k to make this moral lesson effective and for this purpose we go to Washington to carr outthe pledge underWhich Nr. Polk has been elected and to keep our party united. We go of course with the firm determination 10 avoid all premanr contests iortiic succession. Pledged to candidate committed 10 no clique preludiced against no DOT 1 ton ot our party anxious o extend the right ham Of fellowship to every sectioh and to every homes Republican, We % to our post of duty not 10 disturb 

 every ca.e to discharge duty taking for our bes guides the principles o the Constitution and the iii terests Of our country.

 Mir. Polk has publicly declared lis intention t remain in office for four years only. He is no doub anxious to testify his gratitude 10 his country for tn signal honor which she has paid to his pure Repub

 can principles, his distinguished neg ity and abil i fly, by aeaiousy devodng himself to her service He s anxious to do all the good which he can ac complish in the course of his administration and WI are desrous of cooperating with him, with inlerio means, and an humber sphere, in the same patriotic object.

 The .UNlON'' will not, however, be exclnsiyel confined to politics. We shall embrace within on design the great interests and improvements of in Statts-oecasional excursions into the field of Lii efature and Science, and, in fine, all such matter as enter into the miscellaneous contents of a news paper, whenever we can find sufficient space 10 in tIoduce them to our readers. Composition at Wash iagtoa wil! enable us to collect information from

 coTrespondence with the enlightened agents of on government abroad, and to report the condition a distant countries through the accomplished officer | Of NAVAL SQUApRoNs. We shall not fail to ayai ourselves of these and other favorable opportunite to improve our columns, and to inform our readers
