 But the Federal Party was not yet extinguished. Ihelf eXtraordparv efforts in ISi0 to defeat that able Statesman, Martin Van Buren, aided as they Were by the viies devices and by the grosses abuse ot tine money power, contributed, with the singular condition of the country, to place them again at the head ot the Government It is not necessary for us 10 reeaptnlate the struggles which have since en- sued, to describe the ndomitabc spirit of ouririends or their final glorious triumph in the election oi James K. Polk. Another era is then opened 10 us His administration has jHst commenced. He comes to carry outthe principles Of the REPUBLGcAN PARTY, and the pledges to that end under which he was elected He takes the JEFFERsoNIAN ERA for h1s standard and WE, too, come forward 10 support the principles of tic Republican Faith, and to give to his administration fair, liberal and eicientsuPpert We Wiiioppose ealatltudniousconsruction ithe Con shiutinn--a NATIONAL BANK in any of its forms | an eztFayaE4Ht and unconstitutional system of Ma tioni Internal lmprovcmcnls-an insidious Dlsrl- button ot the Proceeds of the Public Lands-the Assumption of State Debts, and such Bankrupt LaW as dlstracad the Statute Book in ls42

Such, We satisfied k the true spirit oi the Presidents late admirable Inaugural, whose general views of inc character and principles of our Government may safely defy all iboral criticisms of the late English journals. l looks to repenhe standard of duties, honestly levied for the purpose ffasing the neces- sary funds to deray the economical expenses of the Government; and to be levied in such manner as to equdize, as far as practicable the public burdens upon al classes aud sections.
 We shall deem it oarsolemn duty to respect those essential compromises in the Constitution which se- cured its adoption. These were s'the result of a spirit of amitv, and of that mutual defelence and concession which the peculiarly of our political situation rendered indispensable" They directly condemned the rash and meddlesome disposition on the part of the Abolitionsts to interfere with the peculiar institutions of one portion of the Conlede- racy. which Is strongly calculated to distract our public councils and to create some alarm about the UNION itself.
 We pledge ourselves likewise to sustain the Ad- ministration Tn the efforts which will be made to secure to the United States the undsturbed possess sion of Oregon. However much the late English Journals may have pratended to eprecate-howeeer Idly they may haVcudlculcd our right to the countfy we entertain doubt he iusttitle ofthe American Government. We Ieclassured that in the settlement of this momentous question: nothing will be omitted by the President oi the United States which may be demanded by proper spirit of concihation, and a due regard 10 the rights and honor of our country
 But other subjects now call upon our attention and al this time transeeHdng all others Is the ques- ton oi the ANNEXATION OF TEXAS. II is scarcely necessary for us 10 pledge all our efforts to the final consumnation Of that great question. None have been more zcalously devoted than ourselves to the tlFfta= s,i tlF.f I Should any difficulties the part af her Coy enment, or of the WHTGs of the United States, We shall spare no 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 in our party reations-but Peace, Reter The danger can never be oyer, long as we have party which is acuated by such false principles, which is so strong in itsef so ably organized, so closely cemented together. so idolarously attached 10 it's leaders, and so fatally nnpetled by its excited passions, and its mortified pride. They are even now preparing to attack the ApM1N1srRATIoN, to misrepresent its measures abuse its appointments md pull down the RrruBLI- CAN PARTY, in order that they may rise upon it's ruins.
 For ourselves, we prepared to resist them now, and hereafter, as vigorously the Editor of this paper has done for more than forty years. With snchanoppostienw We mHsteXpeet constant encoun- tcr-and we go to Washington with determined spirit to resist them-to expose their heterodox prn- clples-to clear away their interpretations and 10 baic the election of 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 adversares not in personal abuse but with fair arguments, in the open field
 For the purpose of resisting so formidable an op- position, we shall spare no honorable efforts to keep our own party united. We hold that this Govern ment belongs to the PEOPLE of the SrArEs-that it is their power 10 give and to take away the highest offices of the REPUBLIe-and that every man. how ever distinguished by ability or services, should calmly wait uatil it shall please the people to call him into their service. Such was the course pursued by our party al the last election Such was the mannerin which James K. Polk has been called from his retirement, and such is the example which the people will hereafter imitate if the present Admin istration shall be crowned with the benefits which every good man wishes, and which every honest patriot Wlll attempt 10 accomplish. In any event, we will seek to mal,e this moral lesson effective. and. for thls purpose, go to Washington to carry outthe pledge under which Mir Polk has been elected aud to keep our party united. We % of course with the firm determination 10 avoid all premature contests for the succession. Pledged to no candidate committed to no clique, prejudeed against no DOT tioa e our party, anxious to extend the right hand ot fellowship to every section. and to every honest Republican, We go to our post of duty. not 10 disturb butto unta-not to offend, but to conciliate vet in every ca to dchalge our duty, taking for our best guides the principles of tue Constitution and the in-
