The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1853-05-28
THE REPUBLIC-Ne,y Series.

Nearly four years have elapsed since the under
signed established the Republic newspaper as a
WHIe journal with the view of giving an indie
pendent support to the administration of General
Taylor. 1t is proposed to continue the publication
with some little change in its plan to adapt it to
what are believed to be the wants of the time.
An entirely independent journal, commenting
with perfect freedom the acts of all parties and
all public individuals is desired at the seat Of the
Federal Government. The interest, and welfare
of the people too frequently sacrificed 10 mere
party considerations. Party fills Con sress 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 a manner hurried and bun gil n 2
that it Is 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
ciples correspond entirely with those of the last
WHIs National Convention, md substantially with
those of the naugural Address of President PIERcE
The Republic will make opposition to the pre-
sent Administration on any ground that it has
occupied in its initial manifesto.
