Their extraordinary efforts Tn lo4V to ue,S"' @ able Statesman, Martin Van Buren, aided as lhey

 were by the vlest devices and by the grossest abuse of inc money power contributed, with the shguldi condition of the country, to place them a8ah at ue head of the Government. It is not necessary Tor us to recapitulate the struggles which have since ell sued to describe the indOmable spirit ol ourlIehu, or their final glorious triumph in the election oi James K Polk Another era IS then opened 10 us lis administration has just commenced He comes to carry out the principles of the REPUBLICAN PARTY, and the pledges to that end under which ne was elected He takes the JEFFERsoHIAN ERA for Ills standard and WE, tee come forward to support the nrinciDes of the Republican Faith, and to glFe 70 lis administration fair liberal. and eficentsuPPor We will oppose latudniouSconstructon the Con stituiior1a NATIONAL BANK in any oI ifs forms an extravagant and unconstitutional system o1 Na- tional Internal LnproFements-an lnsdlous Dlsfl- bn,ien of the Proceeds of the Public Lands-the | AssumDtion of State Debta and such Bankrupt l Law as disgraced the Statute Book in lS42.

 We shall contend against an unjust and unequal 1 Tariff we will support fair and just revenue standard This rate should be moderate in ltsell, and sufficient to raise adequate means along with the proceeds of the public lands to meetthe expenses 1 of the Government economically administered. We are therefore in favor of the most enlightened sys fem which has been suggested by the experience and the wants ot the Trcasury-''a system adjusted on scale consonant with all the great and various interests of the UnionWithout sections. II Is no" honsd that the lime IS near at hand WherelR Just and eaEa system of revenue may be introduced III order 10 silence complaint, and to equaze the bieS sines and the bgldens ol Government. Such, We are satisfied is the true spirit of tine Presidents late admirable Inaugural, whose general views oi the character and principles of our Government may safely defy all illiberal criticisms ot the late Engsh journals It looks to revenue standard ot dutles; honestly levied for the purpose o raising the neces- sary funds to deray the economical expenses oi the Government; and to be levied in such manner as to equaize, 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 Constitution winch 2e- cured it's adoption. These were ''the result of a spirit of amity, and of that mutual defeTence and i concession which the peculiarity of our political situation rendered indispensable" They directly condemned the rash and meddlesoIne disposition on the part of the Aboltionsts to interfere with the peculiar institutions of portion of the Coniede- racy, which is strongly calculated te distract our public councils, and to create some alarm about the UNION itsef

 We pledge ourselves likewise to sustain the Ad- i minstration in the efforts which will be made to secure to the United States the undsturbed possess sion of Oregon. However much the late English journals may have pretendcd to deprecate-hoWever idly they may havefdeuled outright to the country Ve entertain no doubt of the ustitle of the American Government. We eelassured that. ln the settlement of this monentous question: nothing will be omitted by the President of the United States which may be demanded by proper spirit of cenciliat;on, and Q due regard to the rights and bonor of our country.

 But other subjects now call upon our attention anfsa ihs time transeendng all others, is the qaes- ton of the AENEXATIoN OF TEXAS. 1t IS scarcely necessary for Us to pledge all efforts to the final coasammation of that great question. None have been more zealously devoted than ourselves to the admission of the LONE STAR into our constellation should any difficulties occur on the part oi her Coy crHment, or of the HiIGs of the United States, We shall spare no eXertions to remove them.

 i These important questions once adjusted and the Tariff system brought to the proper revenue point we may then expect more tranquility in our party relations-hut Peace, Recer. The danger can neYe be over, so long have party which Is actuatet by such false principles which is strong in itself so ably organized, so closely cemented together, sC

 dolatiously attached 10 it's leaders, and so fatally

 mpelled by its excited passions, and its mortified pride. They are even now preparing to attack thu 1 ADMINISTRATIONS, to nlsreprcsent its measures abuse its appointments, and pull down the REPUHLI CAN PARTY, in order that they may rise upon it ruins.

 For ourselves, we are prepared to resist them now and hereafter, as vigorously the Editor of th' paper has done for more than forty years. Witt such nopposltion we mustexpect constant encoun ter-and we go to Washington with a dcterminet spirit to resist hem-to expose their heerodox prin ciplesto clear away their interpretations, and bafic the election oi their leaders. We shall attemp to discharge this duty, we hope, under due sens of the digniTy of the P8Ess. We shall be willing t cope with our adYersaries, not in personal abuse bu with fair arguments, in the open field

 For the pufposc-o resisting so formidable an op position we snail Spare honorable efforts to kee1 our own party united. We hold that this Govern ment belongs 10 the PEoPLE of the SrATEs-tbat is their power to give and to take away the highes offices of the REPUBLIC-and that every man, how ever distinguished by ability or services shoal l4- cho fln +O c, him into their service Such was the course pursue by our party at the last election. Such was tn manncrin which James K, Polk has been called fror his retirement, and such is the example which th people will hereafter initiate, if the present Admin istration shall be crowned with the benefits whic every good man wishes, and which every homes patriot will attempt to accomplish. In any even we will seek 10 make this moral lesson effective and for this purpose, we go to Washington to carr outt pledge underWhch MT. Polk has been elected and to keep oHr party united. We go, of course with the firm determination to avoid all prematuT contests for te succession. Pedgedto to no candidate committed to no clique, preiudiced against no pol ton of onr party, anxious to extend the right ban ol Fellowship 10 every section, and to every homes Republican, we go toour post of duty not to dsturl but to unite-not to offend, but to concate; yet, i every ease, to discharge our duty, taking for bes guides the principles of the Constitution and the in terests Of our country.
