 We shall contend against an unjust and unequal Tariff. We will support fair and just revenue standard, his rate should be moderate in itself, and sufficient to raise adequate means, along with the proceeds Of the public lands 10 meet the expenses of the Government economically administered. We are, therefore, in favor of the most enlightened sys lem which has been suggested by the experience and the wants e the IfeasaHE-ssa system adjusted on scale consonAnt with all the great and various interests of the Union without sections II ls now hoped that the time 9 near al hand wherein just and equal system of revenue may he introduced in order o silence rpmplal and 10 eqnalize the bles- sings and the bUdeHs of Government.

 Se shall deem lt oHF solemn duty to respect those essential compromises iH the Constitution which sc- cured ts adoption. These were ssthe result of a spiit ot amItr, aad oG that mutual difference and concession which the Heeftliaritf Of our political situation rendered indlpensable. They directly condemned tha rash and madilcsome disposition ou he pdrt oi the Aboiti8nists 10 interfere with the peculiar institutions of one portion of the GonieGe- aeY which Is strongly calculated to distract oul pnhic councils and to trcate sohte aldrm about the UNION itself.

 But other sHhIacls neH call upon our attention, and al this iiae tfanseeaaing all others, Is the 9aes- tioR Of the ANNEXATI0N OF TENAs. II is scarcely necessary Tor us 10 pledge all ouf efforts to the final consumm5ian ot thlt gteat question.

 For the purpose of resisting SO formidable an op- position, we shall spare honorable efforts To keeI our own party united. We held that this Govern ment belongs To the PEOPLE of the STAr1.s-that il IS their power te give and io take away the highest offices ol the REPrpLtc-and that every man. how ever distinguished by ability or services, should calmly wait until j shall please the people 10 call him into their service. Such was the course pursued by our party at the last election. Such was the maAnerm which James k. Polk has been called from Ms retirement. and such k the example which the people will hereafter initiate, if the present Admin lstatlon shall be crowned with the benefits which every good man wishes, and which every honest patriot Whl attempt to accomplish. In any event. we Will seek to make this moral lesson effective: aud, fol thiS purpose. We go to Washington to carry outthe pledge under which Mr Polk has been elected and to keep our party united. Ne go of course with the firm determination 10 avoid all premature contests Tor the succession. Pledged o no candidate committed to no clique, preiudiced against no DOT ton ot our party, anxious to extend the right hanC of Fellowship to every section, and to every homes Republican, We go to our post of duty not to disturb but to unlte-no, to oaeHd but te eonciliate: vet il every case, to discharge duty taking for our bes SQcS tue RllHt ltS ot lle NOlSllutQA atid te h. terestS of our country.
