Subject 10 the decision of he National COnrcntion.

 Hitherto it has been jointly owned and edited by Mr. Geo. w. Clark, and MT. T. Sterne the former a Democrat, and the latter Whig. This circum- stance has occasioned the neutrality of the paper Mr. CLARKE has now become sole owner and edi- tor and takes ground for his principles. We offer him the right hand of fellowship, with cordial good will and our best wishes for that success which, we doubt not his zeal and ability, in the good cause of the people will insure him. We copy from his in troductory address, the following sensible, manly and patriotic exposition ofhis principles and course:

 '.The period has arrived in the political af- fairs of our Nation when every democrat who sets proper value upon the principles of his party, should array himself before the enemy, and do battle for the canse.'

 In taking this position, we feel impelled by lyiction in the correctness and justness of the Icause in which we embark. While we shall 'advocate democratic measures and support democratic men with zeal and firmness, we IshaIl treat our political adversaries with cour- |tesy and fairness, hoping that, though we Imay differ in politics, nothing will happen to 

 interrupt the harmony of our social relations We are opposed to the establishment of a National Brnk-a protective tarfi--a distri- button of the proceeds of the pablic lands among the different States-the assumption ;of the State debts by the General Government i've will advocate strict construction of the 5Constitution-limited powers and an econo- mical administration of the Federal Govern sment--the establishment of the !" Sub Trea- ssury," believing that such an agent will an { sswer the necessities of the General Govern sment, and serve all the legitimate purposes o sCommerce.

 We will support for President and Vice President, the nominees of the convention tt abe held at Baltimore, in May next" MT. Sterne announces, in the same paper, that h,

 will establish, at Van Buren, about the first of Ma, Snext. new paper to be called the ]" Western From 3tier Whig."
