 Me shail contend against an unjust and unequal IauI Ne will support fair and just revenue standard. Ihis rate should be moderate in itselE aad sufficient 10 raise adequate means, along with tfe proceeds of the public ands tomeet the expenses q the Government economically administered. We arc, therefore, in favor of the most enlightened sys tenn which has been suggested by the experience and the wants Of the TreasurY-.,a system adjusted on scale consonant with all the great and various interests of the Union without sections" II is now hoped that the time IS near at hand wherein just and equal system of revenue may be introduced in order to silence complaint and to equalize the bles- sings and the burdens of Government Such we are satisfied is the true spirit ofthe Presidents late admirable Inaugural. whose general views Of the character and principles Of our Government may safely defy all beral criticisms of the late English journals. If looks 10 revenue standard of duties, honestly levied for the purpose of raising the neees sary funds 10 deiray the economical expenses of the Government; and to De levied in such manner as 10 equazc, IS far as practicable, the public burdens upoa all classes and sections.
 We shall deem it our solemn duty to respect those essential compromises iii the Constitution which se- cured it's adoption. These Were ssthc result of q spirit of amilY. and of that mutual defeIence and concession which tie peculiarly of our political situation rendered indispensable They directly condemned the rash and meddlesome disposition on the part of the Abolidoalsts 10 interfere with the peculiar institutions of one portion of the CoHiede- racv, which is strongly calculated to dizhaet our public councils, aud to create some alarm about the UNION itself
 We pledge ourselves likewise to sustain the Nd ministmtiou in the efforts which will be made to secure to tha United States the undistubed posses sion ot Oregon. However much the late English journals nay have Fretended to odeprteate-hoWeYer idly they may have rdiculed right 10 the counrv we entertain no doubt o the usttitle o the American Government. We feel assuredthat, inthe settlement 0i tins momentouS question: nothing will be omitted by the President oI the United States which may be demanded by proper spirit of conciiation, and a due regard 10 the rights and honor of our country.
 But other subjects now call upon our attention, and d ths time traasceHdHg all others Is the ques- lion oi the ANNEXATION OF TEXAS. ItisscarcelY necessary for Us 10 pledge all our efforts to the final consummaton of that great question. None have been more zealously devoted than ourselves to the admission ol the LONE SPAR into enr constellation. Should any difficulties the part of her Gov ernment, CT of the NHtGs of the United States, we shall spare no eXertions to remove them.
 These important questions once adjusted and the Tariff system brought to the proper revenue point, we may then expect mere tranquility ln eur party relations-hut Peace, aerer The danger can never be over, long as We have party which is actuaed by such false principles, which is strong in tseif SC ably organized, closely eemented together, so ldolatrouslY attached 10 it's leaders, and fatally mpelled by it's excited passions, and its mortified pride, They are even now preparing 10 attack the ADMINISTRATIONS, to misrePfesaht it's measures, abuse its appointments, and pull down the REPUBLt- eAN PARTY, ia order that. they may rise upon its ruins.
 For ourselves we are prepared to resist them now, and hereafter, as vigorously as the Editor ot this paper has done for more than forty years. With suchan opposition we musteXpect cons tant encoun- ter-and we go 10 Washington with determined spirit to resist themto expose their heterodoX prin- ciples-to clearaway their rmsreprsentadons, and to battle the election oi their leaders Me shall attempt to discharge this duty, we hope under due sense oi the dignity of the PGEss We shall he willing to cope with our adYesares. not in personal abuse bat with fair arguments, in the open field.
 For the purpose of resisting so formidable all on- position, We shall spare no honorable efforts to keep our own party united. We hold that this Govern- mcnt belongs to the PEOPLE of the SrArEs-tAat f IS their power 10 give and to take away the highest offices ot the REpUuLIc-and that every man. how ever distinguished by ability or services, should calmly wait until 1t shall please the people to call nm h'o ther service. Such Was the coarse pursued by our party tt the last election. Such was the maHaern which James K Polk has been eal ed from ] aiS retirement, and such is the example which the people will hereafter initiate, il the present Admin lstTauon shall be crowned with the benefits which every good man wishes and which every honest patriot will attempt to accomplish. In any event We will seek to make this moral lesson effective and for this purpose, we go to Washington 10 carry Outthc pledge underWhieh AIr Polk las been elected and to keep onr party united. We go, of course, with the hrm determination te avoid all premature contests for tle succession. Pledged to no candidate committed to no clique preiudiced against no DOT oa ot our party, anxious 10 extend the right hand ot fellowship to every section. and to every honest Republican, go to our post o datY not tO disturb but 10 uuitenot 10 offend, but 10 conciiate: vet in every caEe, 10 discharge our duty, taking for our best guides the principles of the Constitution and the h terests of our country.
