 srangled the MONSTER BANK. He set limits to the wild schemes of Internal Improvement, and he Insisted on bringing back the Tariff System to its legitimate Revenue uses
 But the Federal Party was not yet extingushed Their extraordinary efforts in 1Sl0 to defeat that able Statesman, Martin Van Buren, aided as they were by the vlest devices and by the grossest abuse oi the 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 to reeapitulaie the struggles which have since en- sued, to describe the ndomitabe spirit of eurlendst ar their final glorious triumph in fine election oi James k. Polk Another era s then opened 10 as His administration has just commenced. He comes to carry outthe principles of the REPUBLICAN PAnTY, and the pledges to that end under which lie was elected. He takes tue JEFFERsoNIAE ERA for his standard, and WE too, forward 10 support the principles of the Republican Faith, and to give 10 his administration fair, liberal, and deiicentsuppert We Wlltoppose latltudHiousconsT1chon oi the Con stilution-a NATIONAL. BANK in any of its forms m extravagant and unconstitutional system of Ma tondl Internal lmprovemens-an lnsdious Dlstli- button of the Proceeds of the Public Lands-the Assumption of Slate Debts, and such Bankrupt Law az disgaced the Statute Book in IS42.
 We shall contend against unjust and unequal Tariff We will support fair and just revenue standard. This rate should be moderate in itself, and sufficient to raise adequate mea&s, along with
 the proceeds of the public lands te meetthe expenses ol the Government economically administered. We are, therefore, in favor of the most enlightened sYs- tenn which has been suggested by the experience and the wants of the Treasury-"a system adjusted on scale cohson8nt with all the great and various interests of the Union without sectionsn II is nox hoped that the time $ near at hand wherein just and equal system Of revenue may be introduced in order o silence complaint, and b cquaze the blcs- sings and the burdens of Government Such, We are satisfied, is the true spirit of the Presidents late admirable Inaugural whose general views of the character and principle of our Government may safely defy all beral criticisms of the late English journals Ii looks to revenue standard of duties, honestly levied for the purpose of raising the neces- sary funds to deray the economical expenses of the Government; and to be levied in such manner as 10 equliza, as far as practicable, the public burdens upon aii classes aud sections.
 We shall deem il our solemn duty to respect those essential compromises in the Constitution which se- cured is adoption. These were "the result of q spirit of amY and of that mutual deference and concession which the peeuliarity of our political situation rendered ndispensable'' They directly condemned the ra3t and meddleseme disposition on the part of the Abolitenists to interfere with the peculiar institutions of one portion of the Confede- 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 in the efforts which will be made to secure 10 the United States the undisturbed posses sion of Oregon. However much the late English journals may have pretended to deprecate-howeyer idly they may have rdeued outright to the country, we entertain no doubt ofthe uStitle the American Government. We feel assured that, in the settlement of this momcntous question, nothing will be omitted by the President ol the United States which may be by proper spirit of conciatian and a due regard to the rights and toner of our country
 But other subjects now call upon our attention, and al this tme tfanscending all others is the ques- iiTF fIfY,1- | necessary for Us 10 pledge all our efforts to the final conSummation of that great question. None have been more zealously devoted than ourselves to the admission of the LONE STAR into our constellation Should any difficulties occur on the part of her Gov ernment, or o1 the WHIGs of the United States xe shalt 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 incur party relailons-but Peace, aerer. The danger can never be over, so long we have party which Is actuated by such false principles which is strong in itself SD ably organized, closely cemented together so ldolatrously attached to it's leaders, and so fatally impelled by its excited passions, and it's mortified pride. They are even now preparing to attack the ADMINISTRATIONS, to misrepresent its measures abuse its appointments, and pull down the REpUpL1. CAN PARTY, in order that they may rise upon it's ruins.
 For ourselves we arc prepared to resist them now, and hereafter, as vigorously as the Editor of this paper has done ior more than forty years With such opposition we musteXpect constant encoun- er,-and we go to Washington with determined spirit to resist hemto expose their heterodox prn- ,iples-to clear hermsreprescntations and 10 Daille the election ot their leaders We shall attempt 10 discharge this duty, We hope, under due sense 1f the digaty 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 STArEs-that it IS their power to give and 10 take away the highest offices of the REPUBLIC-and that every man. how ever distinguished by ability or services should calmly wait until it shat. please the people to call him into their service. Such was the course pursued by our party at the last election Such was the 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 lstraten shall be crowned with the benefits which every good man wishes, and which every honest 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 uuderwhich Mir. pollhas been elected, and to keep onr party united. We go, of course, with the firm determination to avoid all premature contests for the succession Pledged to TO candidate to no clique, preludieed against no DOT lion of our party, anxious 10 extend the right hand VI iNitNNotRl tp SNNN sSNAuIi anu tp every honest Republican, VIC go 10 post of duty not 10 disturb put to unie--not to offend, but to eonciate: vet ii every case to discharge our duty, taking for our best guides the principles of the Constitution and the in- erests of our country.
 Mir. Polk has publicly declared his intention to remain in office for four years only He no doubt anxious 10 testify his gratitude 10 his country for the signal honor which she has paid to his pure Repub- jcan principles, his distinguished integrity and ab- ty by zealously devo;ing himself 10 her service.- He IS anxious to do all the good which he can ac- ,ompsh in the course of his administration, and we ire desirous of cooperating with him. with inferior means, and an humber sphere, in the same patriotic 1biect
 The suNloN'' will not, however, be exclusively confined to politics. We shall embrace within our design the great interests and improvements of the 5tates-occaSioaa excursions into the field of Lit erature and Science, and, in fine all such matters as enter ao the miscellaneous contents of a news paper, whenever We can find sufficient space 10 in troduce them to our readers, Composition Ut Wash agon vii! enable us to collect information from correspondence with the enlightened agents of our government abroad and to report the condition of distant countries, through the accomplished officers of NAVAL SQUAnRoNs We shall not fail to avail ourselves of these and other favorable opportunities to improve our columns, and to inform our readers,
