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

 Bat the Federal Party was not yet eXtlngulshed Their extraordinary efforts in t83J 10 defeat sthat able Statesman, Martin Van Duren, aided as they by the ylest devices and by the grossest abuse of the money power, contributed, with the sln5ulaf condition of the country, 10 place them agan at the head of the Government IL is not necessary for us 2 %1leapitula'e the struggles which have since en- sued to describe the nomitahe spirit o urtrlends, or their final glorious triumph in the election oi James K Polk. Another era is then opened to us His administration has just commenced. lie comes 10 carry outthe principles the REPUBLICAN PARTY, and the pledges to that end under which ne was elected. He takes the JEFFERsoNfAN ERA for ms standard, and WE, too, forward to support the principles of the Republican Faith and to give to his administration tair liberal, and eiclentsupport We willoppose alatitudnouscoustfuctiono the Con stitution-a NATIONAL BANK in any oi It's forms an eStrayagant and unconstitutional system o Ma ! toRa Internal lmproyements-au insidiouS Dlstu- button oI the Proceeds of the Public Lands--the Assumption ol State Debts and such Bankrupt Law a7 disEraced the Statute Book in lSi2.

 Me sh2ll contend against an nnluSt and unequal Tariff. We will support a fair and just revenue standard This rate should be moderate Ill itself, and suflelent to raise adequate means, along win the proceeds oi the public lands, omeethe expenses Of tha Government economically administered We are therefore, n iafor o the most enlightened Sys- tcIa which has been suggested by the experience and the y5d3ts oi tha Tfeasury-s'a system adjusted scale c3nsoHaht with all the great and Varlous interests oi the Union without sectons il i5 how hoped that the time IS near at hand wherein jast i and equal system OI revenue may be Introduced m order to silence complaint and 10 cqualize the bles sings and the ba.Geas Of Government Such, we satisfied is the true spirit Of the Presidents late admirable Inaugural, whose general views ol the character and principles of our Government may safely defy all iIibea criticisms of the late English journals. l. looks to revenue standard of duties, honestly levied for the purpose of raising the safy funds to deiray the economical expenses of the Goyernment and to be levied in such manner as to eqgalize 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 which cured its adoption. These were s.e result of spirit of ainty and of that mutual deeIence and i concession which the pccuarty of our political situation rendered pdispensable.s They directly condemned the raSiI~aHd meddlesome disposition the part of the Abolitioniss to interfere with the peculiar institutions ol one portion oi the C0nicdc racy which is strongly calculated to distract our public councils, and to create some alarm about the UNION itself.

 We pledge ourselves likewise to sustain the Ad- minstration ia the efforts which will be made to secure to le United States the uadstnrbad posses sion of Oregon, However much the late English journals may have pfttended 10 aprecata-however idly they may have rdculed outright to the country ue entertain no doubt of the usttitIe Of tie American

 

 of this momentous question: nothing will ba omitted by the President ol the United States which may be demanded ny proper spirit ot conciliation, and due regard to the rights and Eonor of our country.

 But other subjects now call upon our atentIon and at this time raascendng all others, is the ques ton of th z3c:. IExAs. Ii s scarcely necessary for US to pledge all our efforts 10 the final ] consummatlon ot that great question: None have been more zcalously devoted than ourselves 10 the i admission o the LONE STAR into our constellation. .l1if ficc crnment, or of the NHfGs of the United States we shall spare nc eXertions to remove them.

 These important questions once adjusted, and the Tariff system brought 10 the proper revenue point, we may then expect lnoro tranquility ill party relations-b but Peace, EeGer. The danger can never be over, solong as we have party which Is aetated by such false principles, which is strong nitsel so ably organized closely cemeHted together so idoiatrously attached to is leaders, and so fatally inpclied by its excited passions, ant is mortified pride.

 For ourselves, we are prepared 10 resist them now and hereafter, vigorously as the Editor of this paper has done for more than forty years With suehan opposition we mastexpect a constant cncoun- ter.-aud we go to Washington with determined spirit 10 resist them-to expose their heterodox prin- ciples-to clear away thermisgeF;as and to DdilG the eeCuOn 0l llcif Ie3 lS.

 For the purpose of resisting so formidable an op- position we shall spare no honorable efforts 10 keep our own party united We hold that this Govern mcHt belongs 10 the PEOPLE oi the STATEs-that t is their power to give and to take away tG2 higEest offices of the REPUBLde--5nd that every man. how ever distinguished by ability or services, should calmly wait until il shall please the people to call him into their service Such was tEe colIrse ptlrsed by oar party at the last election Such was tie mannerin which James K.

We go, of eoHrse, with the firm determination to avoid all premature contests for the succession Pledged to no candidate committed 10 no clique, preiudiced against no DOT ton of our party, anxious 10 extend the right hand o fellowship to every section, and to every honest

 Republican, go to post of duty not to disturb
