 But the Federal Party was not yet extinguished. Their extraordinary efforts in l840 to defeat that abc Statesman, Martin Van Buren, aided as they were by the vllest devices and by the grosses abuse ot the money power contributed with the singular condition of the country 10 place them again al the head ot the Government. Il is not necessary for HIS to Tecapltulate the struggles which have since en- sued, to describe the indomable spirit of ourfriends, or their final glorious triumph in the election of James K. Polk Another era is then opened to as His administration has just commenced. He comes to carry outthc principles ofthe REPUBLrcAN PARTY, and the pledges to that end under which he was elected. He takes the JEFFERsoNIAN ERA for hls standard, and wE too, come forward 10 support the principles of the Republican Faith, and 10 give 10 his administration fair, liberal and eilciensupport We wiloppose alatitudniousconstruction olthe Con stitution-a NATIONAL BANK in any of its forms an extravagant and unconstitutional system ol Ma tional Internal ImproYements-an insIdious Distri- l button of the Proceeds of the Public Lands-the Assumption of State Debts, and such Bankrupt Law as disgraced the Statute Book in lSt2.
 We shall contend against an unjust and unequal l Tariff. We will support a fair and just revenue standard. This rate should be moderate in itself, and sufficient 10 raise adequate meaas, along with
 the proceeds of the public lands to meet he expenses of the Government economically administered. We are, therefore, in favor of the most enlightened sys l tenn which has been suggested by the experience and the wants of the Treasury--s,a system adjusted a scale consonant with all the great and various interests of the Union without sections. It is now i hoped that the time is near al hand wherein just and equal system of revenue may be introduced in order 10 silence complaint and to equaliZc the bIes 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 principles of our Government may safely defy all lihera criticisms of the late Enolish journals. IL looks to revenue standard of dufics honestly levied for the purpose of raising the ncces sary funds to delray the economical expenses of the Governments and to be levied in such manner as 10 equalize as far as practicable, the public burdens upon all classes and sections.
 We shall deem it OUT solemn duty to respect those essential compromises in the Constitution which se- cured it's adoption. These were "he result of spirit of amiy, and of that mutual defercnce and concession which the peculiarity of our poificaI situation rendered indispensable'' They directly condemned the rash and meddlesome disposition on the part of the Abolitionsts to interfere with inc peculiar institutions of portion of the Confede- racy, which IS strongly calculated 10 distract our public councils, and to create some alarm about the UNION itself
 We pledge ourselves likewise to sustain the Ad- mnistration in the efforts which will be made to secure to the United States the undstnrbed posses sion of Oregon. However much the late English journals may have pretended 10 deprecate-however idly they may have erdculed our right to the country we entertain no doubt the usttitle ofthe American Government. We feel assured that in the settlement
 
 by the 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 at this time transcendng all others is the ques- ton Of the ANNEXATION OF TEXAS II is scarcely necessary Tor us 10 pledge all efforts to the final consummalon 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 pat of her Gov ernnent, or ot the WHIGs of the United States. we shall spare no eXertions to remove them
 These important questions once adjusted and the iaut system brought to the proper revenue point we may then expect more tranquility in our party relatons-hut Peace, Heeer The danger can never De oVef long as we have party which is actuated by such false principles, which so strong in itself so ably organized, so closely cemened together, so doIatrously attached 10 its leaders, and so fatally lmpelled by Its excited passions and it's mortified pride They are even now preparing to attack the ADMINISTRATIONS to misrepresent it's measures, abuse its appointments, and pull down the REpun11- CAN PARTY, in 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 musteXpcct constant encoun- ter,-and we go to Washington with determined spirit to resist them-to expose their heerodoX prin- ciples-o clear away their misrepresentations and to batile the election ofther leaders. We shall attempt to discharge this duty, we hope, under a due sense oi 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, shall spare no honorable efforts 10 keep our own party united. We hold that this Govern ment belongs to the PEOPLE of the SrArEs-that it is their power o give and to take away the hirhest offices of the REpUBuc-aad that every man, how ever distinguished by abifty or services, % should calmly wait until shall please the people 10 call him into their service. Such was the course pursued by our patty at the last election. Such was the mannerln which James K. Polk has been called from ms retirement, and such Is the example which the people will hereafter initiate, if the present Admin isirahon shall be crowned with the benefits which every good man wishes, and which every honest patriot Will attempt 10 accomplish In any event we will seek to make this moral lesson efIective and, for this purpose we go to Washington to cafry outthe pledge under which Mir Polk has been elected and to keep our party united. We 90 of course, with the firm determination to avoid all premature contests for the succession. Pledged to no candidate committed to no clique, preiudiced against no DOT. ton of our party, anxious to extend the right hand of fellowship to every section, and 10 every honest Republican, go to our post of duty, not to dsturb but to unte-not to offend, but to eoneate: vet in every casc to discharge our duty, taking for our best guides the principles of the Constitution and the in terests of our country
 MT. 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 the signal honor which she has paid to his pure Repub- lcan principles his distinguished integrity and abil ty, by zealously devoting himself to her service- He Is anxious to do all the good which he can ac- compsh in the course of his administration, and We are desirous of cooperating with him. with inferior means and an humber sphere in the same patriotic object
 The "UNION" will not, however, be exclusively confined to politics. We shall embrace within our design the great interests and improvements of the States-occaSional excursions into the field of Lit erature and Science, and, in fine, all such matters as enter into the miscellaneous contents of news paper, whenever we can find sufficient space to ia- troduce them to our readers. Composition at Wash iagon 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
