the wild schemes of internal Improvement, and he insisted on bringing back the Tariff System to it's legitimate Revenue uses.
 But the Federal Party was not vet extinguished Their extraordinary efforts in IS40 to defeat that able Statesman, Martin Van Buren, aided as they were by the viest devices and by the grosses abuse of the money power, contributed, with the singular condition o the country, to place them again at the head of the Government Ii is mol necessary for us to reeaptuiate the struggles which have since en- sued To describe the indomitabe spirit of our friends or thclr hnal glorious triumph in the election of James k. Polk Another era is then opened 10 us Ills administration has just commenced H. comes tocarry outth principles of the REPUBLIcAN PARTY, and the pledges to that end under which he was elected. He takes the JEFFERsoNtAN ERA for his standard, and WE, too come forward 10 support the principles of the Republican Faith, and to give to hlS admlhlsraton lair, liberal, and eilcientsupport We Wll oppose alatltudnous construction oithe Con sdtution-a NATIONAL BANK in any of is forms an extrAyagant and unconstitutional system of Ma uonal Internal lmprovements--an insdious Dlstri- button of the Proceeds of the Pubic Iands-the Assumption Of State Debts, and such Bankrupt Law az disgraced the Statute Book in 1872 i We shall contend against an unjust 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 lands to meet the expenses l oi the Government economically administered. We are, therefore, in favor of the most enlightened sys- l tenn which has been suggested by the experience ] and the wants of the Treasury-"a system adjusted on scale consonant with all the great and various interests o the Unlon without sections II IS now hoped that the time is near at hand wherein just and equal system of revenue may be introduced in order to silence complaint, and 10 equalize the bles- l sings and the burdens of Government Such, we satisfied, IS the true spirit Of the Presidents late i admirable Inaugural, whose general views of the character and principles of our Government may safely defy all lberal criticisms of the late English l journals. II looks to revenue standard of duties honestly levied for the purpose of raising the neces sary funds 10 deiay the economical expenses of the l Government; and to be levied in such manner as to 1 equaze, as far as practicable, the public burdens l upon all classes and sections.
 We shall deem 1t our solemn duty to respect those essential compromises in the Constitution which se- cured its adoption. These were "the result of spirit of amity, and of that mutual deference and concession which the peculiarity of our political 1 situation rendered indispensable" They directly condemned the rash and meddlesome disposition on the part of the Abotonists to interfere with the peculiar institutions of one portion of the Conede- racy. which is strongly calculated to distract our public conncils and 10 create alarm about the l UNION itself.
 We pledge ourselves likewise 10 sustain the Ad- ministIation in the efforts which will be made to secure to the United States the undisturhed posses 1 sion of Oregon However much the late English i journals may have pretended to dpprecate-however idly they may have ridicued our right 10 the counrv we ehtertann no doubt oftbe ustttle ofthe American Government. We feel dthat, in the settlement l ol thls momenons question, nothing will be omitted l by the President ol the United States which may be l demanded by proper spirit Of conciliation and q due regard to the rights and Eonor of our country
 But other subjects now call upon our attention, and at this time transcending all others Is the qucs- ! ton ol the ANNEXATION OF TEXAS. Ii is scarcely necessary for Us to pledge all efforts to the final l consummaon of that great question: None have been more zealously devoted than ourselves to the nHt ot tba Gr, into Should any difficulties occur on the part of her Gov enment, or ot the WuIGs of the United States we shall spare ho eXcrtionS 10 remove them
 These important questions once adjusted, and the Tariff system brought to the proper revenue point we may then expect more tranquility ih our party relaons-but Peace, Rfeer. The danger can never be oYef solong as We have party which is actlated by sHeh false principles, which is so strong in itself
 so ably organized, closely cemcnted together. SC ldoatrousy attached to it's leaders, and so fatally impeiied by its excited passions. and its mortified pride. They are even now preparing to attack the | ADMINISTRATIONS, 10 misreprcscnt its measures abuse it's appointments and pull down the REPUBLI. I CAN PARTY, in order that they may rise upon Il. 1 ruins.
 For ourselves, we arc prepared to resist them now and hereafter, as vigorously the Editor of this paper has done for more than forty years With suchan opposition we must expect constant encoun- 1 ter,-and we go to Washington with determined spirit to resist them-to expose their hctcrodoX pTn dNdN llclI and tC boio the election of their leaders. We shall attempt to discharge this duty, we hope, under due sense of the dignity of the RBEss. Ne shall be willing tc cope with our adYersaries, not in personal abuse bu with far arguments, in the open field.
 l For the purpose of resisting 50 formidable an ep. position we shall spare no honorable efforts to <eer ! our own party united We hold that this Govern ment belongs to the PEOPLE of the STATEs-that it IS their power 10 give and to take away the hghes offices oi the RErgnue-and that every man, how 1e,t..,. l...ll 1. calmly wait until 1t shall please the people to call him into their service. SueA + ft rsued by our party at the last election. Such was the manherin which James K. Polk has been called rom ] hs retirement, and such is the example which the people will hereafter initiate, if the present Admin | stratlon shall be crowned with the benefits which every good man wishes, and which every honest l patriot will attempt to accomplish In any event we will seek to make this moral lesson effective; and, for this purpose, We go to Washington to carry outthe pledge under which MT Polk has been elected 1 and to keep oHr party united. We go, of course, with the firm determination to avoid all premature contests for the succession Pledged to no candidate committed to no clique, preiudiced against no DOT ton ol our party, anxious to extend the right hand of fellowship to every secton and to every honest
 Republican, we go to our post of duty not to disturb
 but to unite-not to offend, but to conciatc; vet in every case, to discharge duty taking for our bes guides the principles of the Constitution and the in terests of our country.
