The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1853-05-27

Nearly four years have elapsed since the under.
signed established the Republic newspaper as a
WING journal with the view of giving an inde-
pendent support to the administration of General
Taylor Ii 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, commenting
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 come
times believed to be corrupt Hence the legisla-
tive business of the country is left undone, or is
transacted in manner SO hurried and bungIing
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
WING National Convention, and substantially with
those of the Inaugural Address ofPresident PIERCE
The Republic will make no opposition to the pre-
sent Administration on any ground that it has
occupied in its initial manifesto.

With slight diminution in the size of the DA1-
Lr REPUBLIC, there will be large reduction in it's

fishers to render it at once equal to the best of the
