THE UNDERSIGNED will shortly publish at the
Il seat of the National Government new daily
paper, as the organ OF the great UNION PARTY OF
the United States.
The elements of national revolution, evolved
from the passions Of mankind, always tend to fatal
terminations but it is the prerogative Of
lghtened public will to control them, and make
them subservient to wise and patriotic issues Such
elements now fearfully at work in the United
States, tending avowedly to revolution which
every patriot would deplore the greatest calam-
ity that could possibly befal this country The ef
forts of the UNION Panty alone avert that
lamity-the united efforts of those who, nobly re
inquishing personal and old party considerations,
are determined to stand shoulder to shoulder for
.Liberty and the Union, now and forever, one and
Snseparable.'
The fires of American patriotism require to be
rekindcd in the hearts of too many of our coun-
trymen. Evil influences from abroad have found
their way amongst them, and smothered the
flames which ought never to subside in American
bosoms. In one section of the country an ignis
fatuus has been held up as light to better pros
perity; in another, the moral sentiment has been
stimulated to monomania, with the design Of ef
fecting collision between the North and the South
and dissolution of the American Union. Even
now, the missionaries Of ruin, scenting blood from
afar. are lowering, like vultures, in the hope of
conflict
ishigh time, therefore for patriotic Americans
for men Of both the old partesto throw aside their
old trampels and divisions, and to unite in one
is high time that they should wake from their false
security and look their real danger in the face; to
reassert their true American character and resolve
with energy never to be relaxed that no foreign
domestic foe shall stay the course of their coun
try's glorious destiny
1t will be the earnest purpose of 'THE CoNsTITu
TIoN faithfully to represent the sentiments of the
Union party. 1t will recognise man Wing
or as Democrat; but every one as friend or a
foe to the Union, the Constitution and the laws;
and it will advocate those measures and only those
which the Union party will sanction
With these principles and motives, "THE CoNsTI
TUITION will take the field, ''thrice armed in the
cause of our common country-fully confident of
success, and of the liberal support of enlightened
and still independent people,
The first number will be published as the
necessary mechanical arrangements shall be COM
pleted.
TERMs-Ten dollars year in advance. Letters
addressed to the publishers must be postpaid.
