We look upon the present as the most i'm
portant i%uncture for the re- establishment or
final overthrow of the Republican party,
which las occurred since the termination OF
the last century. The celebrated report OF
Mr.. Madison of that day asserted the true
creed, and sustained it by an argument which
has never been answered, and is unanswera-
bic.
The external party badges offormer times
need not now be recapitulated. The intrin'
sic grounds OF separation at the first still ex'
list; and the principles which animated and
separated the Fedora! from the Republican
party have not RENTED in their operation.
A fundamental difference Of opinion in the
Constitution, and as to the powers of the
General Government. sewers now, as in ear
lier times, the Authoritarian from his oppO
nent. Parties in their ascendency have
hunctuated alternately; it is 4 %fallacy. there
fore, to say that certain points Of difference
being removed, the Federal party, as such
is extinct. The opposing principles of con
struction, above referred to, are destined tc
remain in permanent conflict as long as oul
Government exists.
A crisis is at hand. The shadows that
hang over the face Of the future must soon
pass away, and then we shall know whether
JOHN TYLER of Virginia is politically a friend
or foe-whether he will. in the hour Of ex'
tremity and danger, stand up for the Const'
tuition and his o%ft-repeated and long-cherish'
ed principles, or yield to the influence o
those who desire TO use. but will never sus'
tain him. s.He is our foe, who does his coun'
try wrong" If he prove a friend. we must
defend him; if a foe, condemn him-as we
go for measures, not, men; and we estimate
and measure by the Democratic standard Of
Thomas Jefferson.
In conclusion we would direct attention
to the facilities and advantages attending this
location. Our contiguity to the Capital oil
the Union, and the residence of Mr.. JESSE
E. Dow. Zone Of the Editors) being there.
will enable US TO give the political news and
proceedings OF Congress as early as the pa.
pers printed in Washington. We are situa,
ted in the midst Of several Congressional dis.
tricts of Virginia and Maryland, whose com.
merce flows hither, and whose people are a,
present overwhelmed by papers Of an oppo'
site character.
Accommodation for publication, OF
orders for the papers, will meet with prompt
attention by being addressed to the proprie
