 principles oi the Republican Faith and 10 give to
 his administration fair liberal and cicientsnpport 1 #eHopposea alattndniouscons'rnction the Con i stituUon-d NATIONAL BANK in any of ifs forms an cXraFagant and unconstitutional system of Ma 1 tioRdi Internal improycments--an nsidious Dstri- l button of the Proceeds Of the Public Lands-the Assumption of State Debts and such q Bankrupt 1 Law as disgracod the Statute Book in lS42.
 We shall contend against an unjust and unequal IaiK We will support fair and just revenue i standard. This rate should be moderate in itself, 1 and sufficient to raise adequate means, along with
 the proceeds oi the public lands 10 meet the expenses l ef the Government economically administered. We
 are, therefore in favor of the most enlightened sys- 1 tenn which has been suggested hy the experience
 and the waals el the IFelsulY-'sa system adjusted 1 on a scale eonsouant with all the great and various i interests of the Union without sections" Ii is now l hoped that the time IS near Rt hand wherein just l and equal system of fcvenue may be introduced in
 ofder to silence complaint and o equalize the bles- i sings and Che bWGeRs 6f Government Sacl we
 are satisfied, is the true spirit of the Presidents late

 safely defy all llb'al criticisms of the late Enriish l 4ffHnis II t34t.s 1 s!9 r1 of
 honestly lcgied for the purpose ofraisng the ncccs-
 sary funds to Geiay tha economical expenses of the
 Government; and to be levied in such manner as to
 cquali1e as far as practicable, the public burdens l upon all classes aud sections
 We shall deem il our solemn tutY to respect those essential compromises iR the Constitution which se- cured ifs adoption. These were "the result of a spirit of aaty, and of that mutual difference and concession which the Reealiafity of our political situation rendered Hdl7pensabIc.' They directly condemned the rash and meddlasomo disposition on the part of the Aheiitioniss to interfere with the peculiar institutions of one portion of the Confede- mcy, which is strongly calculated to distract our public councils, and to create some alarm about the UNION itsef
 We pledge ourselves likewise 10 sustain tbe Ad- mnstratioa in the efforts which will be made to secure to the United States ihe uadstarbcd posses. son of Oregon. However much the late English journals nay have pfctended 10 odcprecate-hoWever Idly they may haEerdiculcd outright to the country we entertain no doubtofthe iHsiitle ofthe American Government. We feel assufedthat in the settlement Of ths moaoatous question, nothing will be omitted b5 the Presideat of the Umted States which may be demanded by proper spirit Of concilation and due regard 10 he rights and honor of our country
 But other subjects now call upon our attention, and al this lae transcending all others i3 the ques- ton oi the ANNEXATION OF iExAs. Il is scarcely necessary for Us to pledge all our efforts to inc final eonsumma.iou oi that g1cat question. None have been more 2ealGnzlE devoted than ourselves to the admission ol the LONE STAR into our constellation should any difficulties occur on the part of her Gov ernment or ol the ViIGa of the United States we shall spare no eXerena to remove them
 These important questions once adjusted, and the Tariff system brought b the proper revenue point VIC may then expect more tranquility in our party relations-hut Peace, ne1cr. The danger can never ba oyer, oong as we have party which is actiated hy such false principles which s so strong in itself 90 ably organized, closely eemented together, so ldoatrousY attached 10 ia leaders, and 90 fatally lmPellel by its excited passions, and it's mortified pfide They are even now preparing to attack the REPRESENTATIVES., to msrePrasent ils measures abuse lts appointments, and pull down the REPuBLt- CAN PARTY, in order 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 opposition we musteXpecta constant encoun- ter,-and we go 10 Washington with determined
  ciples-to clearaw their interpretations and to baiIe the election their leaders. We shall attempt io discharge this duty we hope, under due sense | of the dignity of the PREss. Wo shall be willing to cope with our adYesares, not in personal abuse, but with fair arguments, in the open field.
 For tho purpose of resisting so formidable an op- position, we shall spare no honorable efforts to keep onr own party united We hold that this Govern ment belongs 10 the PEOPLE of the SrATrs-that it IS their power to give and to take away the highest ohces ol tGe REruaLGc-and that every man, how ever distinguished hr ability or services should calmly wait until it shall please the people to call hm into their service. Such was the course pursued hy onr party al the last election. Such was the mannerin which lanes K. Polk has been called from Ms retirement, and such Is the example which the people will hereafter initiate if the present Admin lstratIon shall be crowned with the benefits which every good man wishes and which every homes, patriot will attempt 10 accomplish. Tn any event We will seek to make this moral lesson effective; and, for this purpose, go to Washington to carry out the pledge under which Mr Polk has 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 10 no candidate committed 10 no clique, preludiced against DOT ton Of cur party anxious to extend the right hand ot fellowship to every section, and to every honest Republican, we 60 to our post of duty not to disturb but to unitenot to oiIend but to conciGate; yet in every case, to discharge duty taking for or best guides the principles of the Constitution and the in- terests of our country.
 Mir, Polk has publicly declared his intention to remain in office for four years only He is no doubt anxious 10 testify his gratitude to his country fo the signal honor which she has paid to his pure Repub- can principles his distinguished integdty and abil- y by zealously deyoting himself to her service.- He is anxious to do all the good which he can ac .omFlsh in the course ef his administration and we are desirous of operating with him. with inferior means, and an humber sphere, in the patriotic object
