In appearing before the public, in the char-

tutions.
The elevation ofJAMEsK. Polk and GEORGE
NJ. DALLAS, 10 the respective stations 10 which
they have been nominated by the voice Of the
Democratic party, will receive our most hear
~ support. We will oppose the present Ia.

We will admit into our columns temperate

be suitable. We will no, permit ourselves to
be made the tool ofany clique or patty. in reli-
gion or politics, but will always endeavor to
support the character Of an independent advo-
cate of Republican principles.
