shangled the MONSTER BANK. He set limits tc the wild schemes of Internal Improvement, and hG insisted on bringing back the Tariff System to it; legitimate Revenue uses

 But the Federal Party was not yet extinguished Their extraordinary efforts in Is40 to defeat fthat able Statesman Martin Van Buren, aided as they by the ylest devices and by the grosses abuse of the money power, contributed, with the singular condition of the country to place them again at the head ot the Government. lt is not necessary for us to recapitulate the struggles which have since en- sued to describe the indomitable spirit of friends or their final glorious triumph in the election oi James K. Polk. Another era Is then opened to us. His administration has just commenced He comes to carry outthe principles ofthe 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 10 his administration fair, liberal, and efcientsupport. We will oppose atltudniousconstruction of the Con stituton-a NATIONAL BANK in any of its forms an exhavagant and unconstitutional system ol Ma tiondl Intefnal Improyements-an nsidious Distri- button of the Proceeds of the Public Lands-the Assumption of State Debts, and such Bankrupt Law as disgfaced the Statute Book in i542.

 We shall contend against an uniust and unequal Tariff We will support fair and just revenue standard This rate should be moderate in itself, and sufficient to raise adequate means, along with the proceeds of the public ands 10 meet the expenses of the Government economically administered. We are, therefore favor of the most enlightened sYs tenn which has been suggested by the experience and the wants of the Treasury-'sa system adjusted on scale consonant with all the great and various interests of the Union without sections" II Is now hoped that the time is near at hand wherein just and equal system oI revenue nay be introduced in order to silence complaint and to equaze the bes, sings and the baIdeHs of GoYernment Such we satisfied Is the true spirit of the Presidents late admirable Inaugural, whose general views of the character and principles of our Government may safely defy all llibera criticisms of the late English journals. It looks to a revenue standard of duties honestly levied for the purpose ofrasing tue neces- sary funds to deiTay the economical expenses of the Government; and to be levied in such manner as 10 equaize, as far as practicable, the public burdens upon all classes and sections.

 We shall deem Ii oursolcmn duty to respect those essential compromises in the Constitution which se- cured is adoption These were .sthe result of d spirit of amity, and of that mutual delelence and concession which the peculiarity of our political situation rendered indIspensable.' They directly condemned the rash and meddIesome disposition on the part of the Abolitonists to interfere with the peculiar institutions of one portion of the Conede- racy, which is strongly calculated to distract our public councils, and to create alarm about the UNION itsef

 We pledge ourselves likewise to sustain the Ad ministTatioA in the efforts which will be laade to secure to the United States the undistnrbed posses sion of Oregon. However much the late English journals may have pretended to odeprecata-hoWeyer idly they nay haverdiculed outright 10 the country we entertain no doubt the justtitIe of the American Government. We feel Fedtba, in the settlement of this momenous question: nothing will be omitted by the President of the United States which may be demanded by proper spirit CI coaciIiation and . due regard to the rights and honor of OUT country.

 But other subjects now call upon our attention, and al this time transcendng all others, is the ques tlOn oi the ANNEXATION OF TEXAS. It is scarcely necessary for us to 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 her Gov ernment, or of the NHIes of the United States, We shall spare no eXertions to remove them

 These important questions once adjusted, and the Tariff system brought 10 the proper revenue point, we may then expect more tranquility ill our party relations-but Peace, Heaef. The danger can never be oyer, so long we have party which s actuated by such false principles, which Is strong in itself so ably organized, so closely cemented together so dolatrousy attached to it's leaders, and so fatally impelled by it's excited passions, and its mortified pride. They are even now preparing to atacl, the ADMINISTRATION, to nisrepresent its measures abuse its appointments, and pull doWnthe REpuBLI- CAN PARTY, in order that they may rise upon it's ruins.

 For ourselves, we are prepared to resist them now, and hereafter, as vigorously the Editor of this paper has done for than forty years With suchano opposition We musteXpect constant encoun- ter,-and we go 10 Washington with determined spirit to resist hem-o expose their heterodoX prin- cpes-to clearaWay their rmisrepresentationE ard to baile the election of their leaders. We shal astat of tl.9 j: s7;,@et nope, under due sense

 ..le olgAty o the PREss. We shall be willing to cope with our adyersaries, not in personal abuse but with fair arguments, in the open field.

 For the purpose of resisting so formidable an op- position, we shall spare honorable efforts to keep our own party united. We hold that this Govern ment belongs to the PEOPLE of the STATEs-that it is their power to give and to take away the highest offices of the REPuBLIc-and that every man, how eyer distinguished by ability or services, should calmly wait until 1t shall please the people to call him into their service Such was thc course pursued by our party at the last election. Such was tse mannerin which James K. Polk has been called from his retirement and such is the example which the people will hereafter initiate, if the present Admin istration 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 effective; and for this purpose, we go 10 Washington to carry outthe pledge under which Mir Polk has been elected and to keep our party united We go, of course, with the firm determination to avoid all premature contests fer t.Ie succession. Pledged to candidate committed to no clique, preudiced against no DOT ton of our party, anxious to extend the right hand of fellowship to every section. and to every honest Republican, go to our post oi duty, not to disturb, but to unite-no to offend, but to conciliate yet in every casa to discharge our duty taking for best guides the principles of the Constitution and the in- terestS 0i our country.

 Mir. Polk has publicly declared his intention to remain in office for foW years only. He Is no doubt anxious to testify his gratitude to his country lo the signal honor which she has paid to his pure Repub- liean principles, his distinguished uegfy and abii- ity, by zeaously devoting himself to her seryce.- He is anxious to do all the good which he can ac- complish in the course oi his administration, and we are desroUs of cooperating with him, with inferior means, and an humber sphere, ia the patriotic object.

 The s'UN1ON" will not, however, be exclusively confined to politics. We shall embrace within oul design the great interests and improvements of the States-occasional excursions into the field of Lit erature and Science, and, in fine all such matters as enter into the miscellaneous contents of news paper, whenever we can find sufficient space to in. troduce them to our readers. Our position at Wash ington will enable us to collect information from ( correspondence with the enlightened agents of oal government abroad, and to report the condition O distant countries, through the accomplished officers of NAVAL SoUApRoNs, We shall not fail to avai ourselves of these and other favorable opporunie, to improve our columns, and to inform our readers
