The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1853-05-31
THE REPUBLIC-Ne Series,

Nearly four years have elapsed since the under
signed established the Republic newspaper as a
WIG journal with the view of giving indie
pendent sur port to the administration of General
TAYLOR. 1t is proposed to continue the publication
with come little change in its plan to adapt it to
what are believed to be the wants of the time.
An entirely independent journal, commentin e
with perfect freedom the acts of all parties and
all public individuals, is desired at the seat of the
Federal Government. The interests and welfare
of the people are too frequently sacrificed to mere
party considerations. Party fills Congress too often
with men known to be incompetent, and some
times believed to be corrupt. Hence the legisla-
tive business of the country is left undone, or is
transacted in manner 30 hurried and bunging
that it ia very certain to be badly done.
The Republic will remain devoted to the same
political principles which it has supported under
the administration of Mr.. FILLMORE. These prin.
cples correspond entirely with those Of the laet
WIG National Convention, and substantially with
those of the Inaugural Address ofPresident PIERCE
The Republic will make no opposition to the pre-
| sent Administration any ground that it has
occupied in it's initial manifesto.
