THE CONSTITUTION,
a Political, Literary, and Commercial Paper, pubshe
in The city of Baiti,norel

A Political Literary, and Commercial Paper, published
in The city of BALTIMORE
TINE Constitution, which was established and
i heretofore published by the subscribers in the
city Of Washington, will, on and after Monday the
LIST day of December next, be removed to and pub
lished in the city Of Baltimore.
The Constitution is devoted to the support of the
principles of that instrument from which it borrows
the name, and opposes whatever is not sanctioned
by it. 1t considers a national bank-a protective
tariff-internal improvements by the general govern
distribution of the proceeds of the sales of
| the public lands-assumpton of the debts of the
STANDARDIZATION Of the executive veto-as uncon-
sttutonal and inexpedient. On the great and vital
question in all Observation-Disclosures will advo-
cate, heretofore, the imposition of duties for rev.
enue alone-Opposing u tariff for protection as un-
JUST oppressive, and unconstitutional.
We hope to make the paper worthy of the conf
dence and support of the democratic party of Mary
land and of the country 1t shall be the faithful ex-
positor of their principles, and the ever ready
dunn to convey their sentiments and wishes to the
public. The democratic cause is the cause Of truth
and justice. 1t courts the light. 1t shuns no nves-
tigaton. And we are determined to see whether a
paper, conducted with devotion to the principles,
rather than to the men, of our party-to further the
great cause of human progress rather than the mere
advancement of particular individuas--will not
commend itself to the confidence and favor of the
people.
Ii known that, in our political principles, we
are entirely and thoroughly democratic. Ofthis, we
trust that we have already afforded sufficient evil
dence; and that we have also given some earnest of
the temper and spirit with which we sustain our
principles and opinions.
Believing that the present administration will
faithfully carry out the principles and the policy OF
the democratic party, we shall continue most cor
daily and earnestly to support all its tend
ing to this end. Its action in regard to Texas Ore
gon, the tariff, and the Independent treasury far
as they have been developed has been in accordance
with the policy of the party that placed them in
power; and we have not a doubt that all will be sat
isied that everything has been done that could be
done To insure successful results to these great
ures
The daily paper will be published at the very low
two cents number; the weekly at two dollars a
year-paya ble invariably in advance.
