We have taken occasion severa! times
before to recommend tho Washington Sen
,inel TO the favorable consideration Of those
intending to subscribe for apaper published
a, the seat Of government. We did so
because we have believed it paper emf
nently worthy OF success; and, in this con
nection, it gives us pleasure to publish tho
following extract from an article in its
/ columns. calling upon the State Rights
party to enlist in its support:
1T was our object, ns declared in the
prospectus OF our paper, to establish an
organ of the State Rights Republican Party
of tho country. We desired, without being
sec,ionsl to defend the rights and interests
of every section, ard without being servlle
bigot- to party in power, to advocate the
principles upon which our party was found
cd I've have endeavored IN our career TO
show that an ardent defence of our prircl-
pies was not inconsistent with high toned
courtesy to our opponents, that strict
adherence to the ancient landmarks of our
oarty WAS in accordance with the highest
development of the destiny OF our country
In these declarations and endeavors. we
think we may say, with pride but without
vanity, that we have succeeded. In thus
redeeming the pledges Of the past, we have
afforded the hes, guaranty for our consist
oncy in the future. |, is a matter OF the
highest Importance that there should be an
/ independent organ Of the State Rights party
here a., the very seat OF centralsn. faithful
20 ts high trust, aud unawed by the lrowns
/ OF power.
| Under these circumstances, we appeal
with confidence to the members of that
party throughout the country to aid us IN
our enterprise. II Is not merely personal
consideration which induces Us to engage
/ in this work 1t is firm devotion to those
/ principles in which we have been reared,
and an arden, desire that the truth OF those
principles may be indicated. and that the
policy they suggest may prevail Let US,
therefore. hope that each State Rights res
publican may see in our enterprise an object
of personal interest to himself, and urged
by this high consideration may lend his
coun,enance aud support to our future
career"
