 We shall contend against an unjust and unequal Tariff. We will support fair and just revenue standard, his rate should be moderate in itself, and sufficient to raise adequate means, along with the proceeds Of the public lands 10 meet the expenses of the Government economically administered.

These were ssthe result of a spiit ot amItr, aad oG that mutual difference and concession which the Heeftliaritf Of our political situation rendered indlpensable.

 For the purpose of resisting SO formidable an op- position, we shall spare honorable efforts To keeI our own party united.

Such was the course pursued by our party at the last election. Such was the maAnerm which James k.

In any event. we Will seek to make this moral lesson effective: aud, fol thiS purpose. We go to Washington to carry outthe pledge under which Mr Polk has been elected and to keep our party united. Ne go of course with the firm determination 10 avoid all premature contests Tor the succession. Pledged o no candidate committed to no clique, preiudiced against no DOT ton ot our party, anxious to extend the right hanC of Fellowship to every section, and to every homes Republican, We go to our post of duty not to disturb but to unlte-no, to oaeHd but te eonciliate: vet il every case, to discharge duty taking for our bes SQcS tue RllHt ltS ot lle NOlSllutQA atid te h. terestS of our country.
