There is a demand for Il paper of this des.
cription. ut the point in Heated. The call is
creditahle Ia the vigilance which dictates il.
and shows 4 proper appreciation OF the eyir-
encv Of The times. The critical crndi ion
in which We f!ni the great AMI permanent
interests of the country. resulting from an
extraordinary combination of men an cir
cumstanceS. all antagonist 10 the just and
abiding principles of the Demecrailc party.
and the injury likely 10 en>ue from Il system
of measures which there is every reason L"
believe that combination is about Ia esrab
lish, will, we doubt not. insure the CO opcra-

We loOk uDrn tie present as the most i'm
portant i~uncIure for the re. establishment o.
final overiarrw Of the Rerub;inn party.
which has occurred since the termination a.
the last century. The celebrated rrpor, o.
Mr.. Madison uf that dlv asserted the true
creed, aud sustained Il by an Argument which
has never been answered. and is unlnswera-
bic.
The external party badges offormer times
need not now be recapi;uia,ed. The intrin-
sic grounds OF separation at the first still cy-
list; and the principles which animated and
separated the Federa! from the Republican
party have not RENTED Ia their operation.
A fundamental difference OF opinion in the
Constitution, and a. TO the powers of the
General Government. sewers now, as in ear
lier times. the latiiucinarian from his oppo-
nent. Pdriies in their asrcniencv have
flunctuated alternately; il Is Il f~lllacv. there
fore, to say that certain points cf difference
being removed. the Federal party. as such.
is extinct. The opposing principles of CON
structicn, above referred 10. IRE destined To
remain in permanent conflict as long as our
Government exists.
A crisis is ut hand. The shadows that
hang over the face OF tn. 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 e1.
tremity and danger. stand up for the Consii-
tuition and his olt-repealed and long-cherish-
ed principles. or yield TO the influence of
those who desire TO use, but will never sus-
tain him. '.He is our foe, who docs his cOun-
try wrong" If he prove a friend. we must
defend Lin; if n foe, condemn hin-as we
60 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. Oar contiguitv 10 the Capital Of
the Union. and the residence OF Mr.. JESSE
E. Dow. ZONE OF the Ediiors) being there,
will enable US to give the political news and
proceedings Of Congress rs early rs the pa
pers printed in Washington. We are si,ua.
ted in the midst of several Congressional dis
tricts OF Virginia and Maryland, whose COM
merce flows hither. and whose people are nj
present overwhelmed by papers Of an oppo-
site character.
ACCOMMODATIONS for publication, or
orders for the papers. will meet with prompt
attention by being addressed TO the proprie.
