and at this time transcendng all Others is the ques-
ton of ANNsxArIos or Texas. IL is scarcely ne.
cessary for us 10 pledge all our efforts TO the final
consummation Of that great question None have
= been more zeaously devoted than ourselves TO the
admission of the LONE STAR into our constellation.
Should any difficulties occur on the part of her gov
ernment, or of the wings of the United States, we
shall spare no exertions TO remove them
These important questions once adjusted, and the
tariff system brought to the proper revenue point
we NAV then expect more tranquility in our party
reations--but peace, nsper. The danger can never
be over, so long as have party TO contend with
like the federal whigs-a party which is actuated by
such false principles which is strong in ITSELF so
ably organized so closely eemented together so idol
atrously attached to its leaders, and so fatally i'm
peled by It's excited passions and lis mortified pride
They even now preparing TO attack the ADhIsIs-
TRATIoH TO misrepresent its measures, abuse its APP
pointments, and pull down the REPUBLICAN PARTY,
in order that they may rise upon It's ruins.
For ourselves, we prepared TO resist them
now, and hereafter, as vigorously the editor OF
this paper has done for more than forty years.
With such an opposition we must expect a constant
encounter.-and we 20 to Washington with deter
mined spirit 10 resist them-to expose their
heteredox principles-to clear away misrepre-
sentations, and to battle the election Of their
leaders. We shall attempt TO discharge this duty,
we hope, under due sense Of the dignity of the
PRESS We shall be willing 10 cope with our adver-
sares, not in personal abuse, but with fair argument
in the open field.


For the purpose of resisting so formidable an OPP
position we shall spare no honorable effort to keep
our own party united. We hold that this govern
ment belongs to the PEOPLE Of the SrArEs-that IT


is their power to give and to take away the highest
Offices Of the REPUBLIo-and that eysJ man, how.
ever distinguished by ability or services, should
calmly wait until it shall please the people TO call
him into their service. Such was the course pursu-
ed by our party at the last election. Such was the
manner in which James X Polk has been called
from his retirement, and such is the example which
the people will hereafter initiate, If the present ad-
ministration shall be crowned with the benefits
which every good man wishes, and which every
honest patriot will attempt TO accomplish. In any
event. we will seek TO make this moral lesson effect
i've; and, for this purpose, we 60 TO Washington TO
carry out the pledge under which Mr.. Polk has
been elected, and to keep our party united.
We go, of course, with the firm determine
ton TO avoid all premature contests for the sue
cession. Pledged TO no candidate, committed to
no clique, prejudiced against portion Of our par
ty, anxious TO extend the right hand Of fellowship
10 every section and to every honest republican, we
go TO our post Of duty to disturb but to unite
not TO Offend but to conciliae; yet in every case, to
discharge our duty, taking for our best guides the
principles Of the constitution, and the interests of
our country.


Mr.. Polk has publicly declared his intention to
remain in office for four years only. He is doubt
anxious to testify his gratitude to his country for
the signal honor which she has paid to his pure
publican principles, his distinguished integrity and
ability, by zealously devotng himself to her ser
vice. He is anxious TO do all the good which he
can accomplish in the course Of his administration;
and we are desirous Of cooperating with him. with
inferior means, and an humber sphere, in the same
patriotic object.


The "UNI0N" will not, however be exclusive
ly confined to politics. We shall embrace within
our design the great interests and Improvements oi
the States occasional excursions into the field of lit
eraure and science and, in fine all such matters
enter into the miscellaneous contents of a newspa-
per, whenever can find sufficient space to intro
duce them TO our readers. Our position at Wash
lngton will enable TO collect information from
| correspondence with the enlightened agents Of our
government abroad, and to report the condition OF
distant countries through the accomplished officers
of our naval squadrons We shall not fail to avail
ourselves of these and other favorable opportunities
to improve our columns, and 10 inform our read
ers.


We shall launch our bark in a few days, and
| commit it to the liberal spirit Of an enlightened
country.
