legitimate Revenue uses.
 But the Federal Party was not yet eXtingushed.
 Their extraordinary efforts in 13i0 to defeat that
 able Statesman, Martin Van Buren, aided as they
 were by the yest devices and by the grossest abuse
 of the money power, contributed, with the singular condition of the country, to place them again at the head of the Government IL is not necessary for us to recapituiae the struggles which have since sugd To describe thendomtable spirit of ourfrends, or their final glorious triumph in the election oi James K. Polk. Another era is then opened to us. I His administration has just commenced He comes
 to carry outt the principles the REPUBLICAN PARTY, and the pledges to that end under which he was elected, He takes the JEFFERsoNIAN ERA for his standard and WE, too, come forward 10 support the l principles of the Republican Faith, and to give to his administration fair liberal, and elcientsupport We llloppose alatitudnousconstfuction ofthe Con- 1 stitutlon-a NATIONAL BANK in any of is forms an extrayagant and unconstitutional system of Ma tlonai Internal lmproyements-an insdious Distri- ] button of the Proceeds of the Public Lands-thc Assumption of State Debts, and such a Bankrupt Law as disgFaced the Statute Book in iS42.
 We shall contend against an unjust and unequal i 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 ot the public lands to meet the expenses l ol the Government economically administered. We are, therefore, Tn favor Of the most enlightened sys l tenn which has been suggested by the experience and the wants of the TreasufY-'.a system adjusted q scale consonan with all the great and various 1 interests oi the Union without sectons.'' It is now l hoped that the time is near at hand wherein just and equal system of revenHe may be introduced in order to silence complaint and to equalize the bles- sings and the butdens of Government Such, we satisfied is the true spirit of the Presidents late admirable Inaugural, whose general views of the character and principles of our Government may safely defy all llibera criticisms of the late English journals. Ii looks to a revenue standard of dulies honestly levied for the purpose of raising the sary funds to deiTay the economical expenses of the Government; and to be levied in such manner as 10 equalze as far as practicable, the public burdens 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 sthe result of a spirit of amity, and of that mutual deierence and concession which the peeularty of our political i situation rendered indispensable'' They directly condemned the rash and meddleaome disposition on tue part of the Abolitioniss to interfere with the peculiar institutions of one portion of the Conlede- raeY, which is strongly calculated to distract our public councils, and to create some alarm about the l UNION itself.
 We pledge ourselves likewise to sustain the Ad- ministraten in the efforts which will be made to secure to the United States the undsturbed posses sion of Oregon. However much the late English journals may have pretended to eprecate-however idly they may haverdculed our right to the country we entertain no doubt fthe justtle ofthe American Government. We feel lassured that in the settlement ol this momentous question, nothing will be omitted by tse President of the United States which may be demanded by proper spirit of conciliation, and due regard to the rights and honor of our country.
 But other subjects now call upon our attention, and al this time transcenng all others is the ques- tlon oi the ANNEXATION OF TEXAS. IL is scarcely necessary for 10 pledge all our efforts to the final consummadon of that geat question. None have been more 2eaiously devoted than ourselves to the admission of the LONE STAR into our constellation Should any difficulties occur on the part of her Gov eument, or of the WHIGs of the United States we shall spare no eXertions to remove them.
 These important questions once adjusted, and the Tariff system brought to the proper revenue point, we may then expect more tranquility n our party relatons-but Peace, aeeer. The danger can never be oyer solohg we have party which Is actuated by such false principles, which is so strong in sef so ably organized, so closely cemented together, so dolatroaslY attached to it's leaders, and so fatally mpelled by its excited passions, and is mortified pride. They are even now preparing to attack the ADMINISTRATIONS, 10 miSreprlsent it's measures, abuse its appointments and pull down the REPUBLI- CAN PARTY, lh order that they may rise upon it's ruins.
 For ourselves, we are prepared to resist them now, and hereafter, as vigorously as the Editor of this paper has done for more than forty years With such an opposition we must expect constant encoun- ter,-and we go to Washington with determined spirit to resist themto expose their heterodoX prn- eiples-to clear away their rmSrepresenatons and to bafe the election their leaders, We shall attempt to discharge this duty, we hope, under due sense of the dignity of the PREss. We shall be willing to cope with our adversaries, not in personal abuse but with fair arguments, in the open field.
 For the purpose of resisting So formidable an op- position, shall spare honorable efforts to keep our own party united We hold that this Govern ment belongs to the PEOPLE of the STArEs-that it is their power to give and to take away the highest offices ot the REPUBLIC-and that every man. how 1 ever distinguished by ability or services should calmly wait until it shall please the people 10 call him into their service. Such the course pursued by our party at the last election. Such was tie mannerin which James K Polk has been called from his retirement, and such is the example which the people will hereafter initiate if the present Admin istration shall be crowned with the benefits which every good man wishes, and which every honest patriot %lil attempt to accomplish. In any event, We will seek 10 make this moral lesson effective; and, Tor hs purpose, We go to Washington to carry outhe pledge under which Mir Polk has been elected anu to Keep o1r 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, prejudced against no DOT ton ot our party, anxious to extend the right hand of fellowship to every section. and te every honest Republican, we go to our post of duty, moi to disturb but to unie-not to offend, but to coneiliae; vet in every case to discharge dnty taking for onr best guides the principles of the Constitution and the n terests of our country.
 Mir. Polk has publicly declared his intention to remain in office for four years only He is no doubt anxious to testify his gratitude to his country for the signal honor which she has paid to his pure Repub- liean principles his distinguished integrity and ab ity, by zealously devotng himself to her seryice- He is anxious to do all the good which he can ac- complish in the of his administration and we are desirous of cooperating with him. with inferior means, and an humber sphere in the same patriotic object.
 The "UNlON" will not, however, be exclusively confined to politics. We shall embrace within our design the great interests and improvements of the States-oecasional excursions into the field of Lit erature and Science, and in fine, all such matters enter into the miscellaneous contents of news paper, whenever we find sufficient space to in troduce them to our readers Opposition at Wash. iagton will enable us to collect information from a correspondence with the enlightened agents of our government abroad, and to report the condition of distant countries, through the accomplished officers of NAVAL SoUApRoNs. We shall not fail to avail ourselves of these and other favorable opportunities to improve our columns and to inform our readers.
