THE CONSTITUTION,
A Political Literary, aud Commercial Paper, publisl
in The cifu of Baltimore

A Political, Literary, aud Commercial Paper published
in the city of Baltimore.
TIME Constitution, which was established and
i heretofore published by the subscribers in the
city Of Washington, will, on and after Monday the
LIST day of December next, be removed to and pub
lished in the city of Baltimore.
The Constitution is devoted TO the support of the
principles Of that instrument from which it borrows
the name, and opposes whatever is not sanctioned
by It, 1t considers national bank--a protective
tarf-internal improvements by the general govern
ment-distributlon Of the proceeds of the sales of
the public lands-assumpton of the debts of the
States-abrogation of the executive veto-as uncon-
stitulional and incXpcdicn On the great and vital
question in all -taxation-it will advo-
cate, as heretofore the imposition of duties for rev.
enuc alone-opposng tariff for protection as I'M
just, oppressive, and unconstitutional.
We hope to make the paper worthy of the conf
dcDce and support of the democratic party of Mary
land and of the country 1t shall be the faithful ex-
postor of their principles, and the ever ready me-
dunn to convey their sentiments and wishes to the
public The democratic cause is the cause of truth
and justice. II courts the light. ltshuns no nves-
tgation. And we are determined to see whether a
paper, conducted with devotion to the principles,
rather than to the men, of our partyto further the
great cause of human progress, rather than the
advancement of particular ndividuas--will not
commend itself to the confidence and favor Of the
people.
lis known that in our political principles, we
are entirely and thoroughly democratic. Ofthis, we
trust that we have already afforded sufficient evil
dence and that we have also given some earnest of
the temper and spirit with which we sustain our
principles and opinions.
Believing that the present administration will
faithfully carry out the principles and the policy of
the democratic party we shall continue most cor
daily and earnestly to support all its tend
ing to this end. Its action in regard to Texas Orc
gon, the tariff and the independent treasury so far
as they have been developed has been in accordance
with the policy Of the party that placed them in
power and we have not doubt that all will be sat
isfcd that everything has been done that could be
done to insure successful results to these great
ures
The daily paper will be published at the very low
rate Of six dollars year-payable in advance--or
two cents number the weekly at two dollars a
year-payable invariably in advance.

ST. CHARLES HOTEL,
Corner Of Third street and Pennsylvania A


WASHINGTON CITY.
TIME subscribers respectfully announce to the
i inhabitants and strangers visiting the city, that
they have become the lessees of the above establish
ment, known the property of Charles Lee Jones
esq. Its location is Immediately adjacent to the
railroad, and directly opposite Gadsby's new hotel
and only three minutes walk from the Capitol and
the principal hotels.
The style in which this establishment is to be
conducted, is on the much-admired European plan,
of letting the parors and sleeping apartments and
furnishing meals to order, either in the private or
public rooms as parties may desire.
The establishment being new, and furnished with
neatncss and elegance, the propreors feel confident
it will vie with any similar establishment in the
Union.
The apartments appropriated to dinner and sup
per parties are inferior to in this any other
city In addition to the many attractions of this
Enlistment there is attached restaurant where all
the delicaces of the season will be served up at mod
crate charges. We respectfully solicit the patronage
of the public.
