insisted on bringing back the IanH system to 4tS legitimate Revenue uses.
 But the Federal Party was not yet extinguished. Their extraordinary efforts in 1910 to defeat That able Statesman, Martin Van Buren, aided as they were by the viles deYces and by the grosses abuse of the money power, contributed, with the singular condition of the country, to place them again at the head of the Government 1t is not necessary for s to recaptuate the struggles which have since en- sued to describe the indomitabe spirit of ourrlends or their final glorious triumph in the election of James K. Polk. Another era is then opened to us His administration has just commenced. He comes to carry outline principles the REPUBLIchN PARTY and the pledges to that end under which he was elected. He takes the JEFFERsoNIAN ERA for bis standard, and WE, too come forward to support the principles of the Republican Faith, and to give to his administration fair liberal and eficientsupport We will oppose latltudnousconstructon oithe Con- stitution-a NATIONAL BANK in any of lis forms an extraVagant and unconstitutional system oi Ma honal Internal lmproYemants-an lnsldious Dlstu- button of the Proceeds of the Public Lands-the Assumption ol State Debts, and such Bankrupt Law as disgraced the Statute Book in I642.
 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 meetthe expenses of the Government economically administered. We are, therefore, in favor of the most enlightened sy- teln which has been suggested by the experience
 
 scale consonant with all the great and various interests of the Union without secions' It is now hoped that the time IS near at hand wherein lst and equal system of revenue may be introduced in order to silence complaint and to equalize the ble sings and the burdens 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 libara criticisms of the late English journals. 1t looks to revenue standard of duties, honestly levied for the purpose ot raising the sary funds to detray the economical expenses of the Government; and to be levied in such manner as to equalize, far practicable, the public bardens upon all classes and sections.
 We shall deem 1t our solemn duty to respect those essential compromises in the Constitution which se- cured it's adoption. These Were Fthe result Of a spirit of amity, and of that mutual deierence and concession which the peculiarity of our political situation rendered indispensahlea They directly condemned the rash and medilesome disposition on the part of the AboltlonSts to interfere with the peculiar institutions ot one portion oi the Coniede- racy, which IS strongly calculated to distract our public councils and to create some alarm about the UNION itself.
 We pledge ourselves likewise 10 sustain the Ad- ministraen in the efforts which will be made to secure to the United States the uad5turbed posses sion of Oregon. However much the late English journals may have pretended 10 odeprecate-hoWever idly they may haveridieucd outright 10 the country we entertain no doubt ofthe uSttte ofthe American Government We feel assured that in the settlement of this momentous question, nothing will be omitted by the President of the United States which may be demanded by proper spifit of eoneiliafien, and due regard to the rights and fonor of our ccuntrY
 But other subjects now call upon our attention, and at this time ranscendng all others, is the ques tien of the ANNEXATION or TEXAS. It is scarcely necessary for us to pledge all efforts to the final consummation of that gleat question. None have been more zealoHslY devoted than ourselves to tie g tnIe of tftsg1 NIT into Should any difficulties occur On the part o her Gov ernment, ol the AHIGs of the United States We shall spare TO eXertloas 10 remove them.
 These important questions once adjusted, and the Tariff system brought to the proper revenue point, we may then expect nor tranquility in our narty reations-but Peace, Repsr. The danger can never be oYer solong We have party which Is actuated by such false principles which is so stiong in itself ably organized, so closely eemented together so dolatrously attached to it's leaders, and so fatally impelled by-its excited passions, and is mortified pride. They are even now preparing to attack the ApMINIsTRATIoN, 10 Iaisreprasent it's measures, abuse it's appointments, and pull down the REPUBLG- CAN PARTY, in older that they may rise upon its 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 snchan opposition we musteXpcct constant encoun- ter,-and we go to Washington with determined spirit to resist them-to expose thef hetaroGox prn- cipies-to clear away rmsrepresentatons and to hatIle the election oftheirleaders Ne shalla attempt t5 discharge this duty, we hope under due sense o the dignity of the PREss. We shall be willing 10 cope with our adYersaries, not in personal abuse, but Wth fair arguments, in the open field
 For the purpose of resisting so formidable an op- p)stion we shall spare no honorable efforts 10 keen our own party united We hold that tbi9 Govern nent belongs to the PEOPLE of the STArEs-that it is their power to give and to take away the highest offices of the REPUBLIC-and that every man. how ever distinguished by ability or services, should calmly wait until it shall please the people to call him into their service. Such vas the course pursued by our party at the last election Such v,as fro mannerin which James h 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 Wth the benefits which every good man wishes, and which every honest patriot will attempt to accomplish. In any event Me will seek to make this moral lesson effective. and for this purpose, we go to Washington to carry outthe pledge underwhich Mr. Poikhas been elected. and to keep our party united. We go of course with the firm determination to avoid ali premature contests for the succession Pledged to no candidate committed to no clique preJudlced against no DOT ton of our party anxious to extend the right hand of fellowship to every section. and to every honest Republican, we go 10 our post of duty not 10 disturb but to unlte-not to offend but to coneiate; vet in every case, to discharge duty taking for or best guides the principles ol the Constitution and the in
 
 Mir. Polk has publicly declared his intention 10 remain in office for four years only He is no doubt anxious to testify his gratitude to his country for be signal honor which she has paid to his pure Repub lican principles his distinguished negtitv and abil fly, by zeaiously devotng himself to her soryice.- He Is anxious to do all the good which he can ae compish in the of his administration. and we are desirous of cooperating with him. with inferior means, apd an humber sphere, in the same patriotic object
 The ''UNlON" will not, however, be exclusively confined to politics. We shall embrace within orir design the great interests and improvements of tbe States-occasional excursions into the field of Iit erature and Science, and, in fine, all such matters as enter into the miscellaneous contents of news paper, whenever we can find sufficient snace to in troduce them to our readers Oarpostion at Wash ington will 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 SQUApRoNs. We shall not fail to avail ourselves of these and other favorable opportunities to improve eur columns and to inform our readers.
