With Politics we do not expect to. necdieS but
the public have 4aow of our antecedents,
as we'll as to learn o1rg gpresent- position. I'VE
have been oId-line NATIONAL Wings of the Clay
and Webster. school, aad we have yet. too learn
that these great 0racles of the Whig party were
mistaken in their policy, or advocated any but
wise and liberal principles butaS questions are
to be acted upon of immediate and vital I'M
portance to us and to the country than adher-
ence to ABSTRACT Whig or Observation-Disclosures,
for party, and define our fpositioir as follows:
The present Administration has won upon our
confidence by manyIef its leading measures, and
shall yield it our cheerful and humble support
in such policy as shall ;conduce TO the general
good. We fully endorse and VIII -vindica.e the
principle of the NebTaska-Kansas Bill; the full
and final abrogation Of the Missouri Compromise,
| and the wise provisions of the Fugitive SlaFe
| Law. Upon the all-absordins question Ii Sla-
yery we may state without reserve, that we be-
lieTe that the true interest of Territory will
be subseEved by Incorporating it with our Insti-
| tutions For this end we shall fearlessly and
thoroughly discuss the subject and whilewe have
no afnities with the Freesoiler, and heartily de-
test the Aboitionist, we still hope to conduct the
controt ersy in the spirit of kindness and liberal
/ ity. We thus nail our colors at the mast head,
and we shall dodge no issues which may be per-
| tinent to the main question. We are OF those
who cannot be lulled into false security by the
smasterly Inactivity and fair representations OF
our willy opponents. We are confident that the
question is to be sprung upon Us by our FreesoI
friends !, whenever the neutral nag can be DIS
pensed with, and we are ready for the issue. As
National men, we shall labor for the good OF the
whole country, for the Union, and the Union In
its integrity; be we free to admit, that upon
his question, our sympathies and CONVICTIONS
Ere with the South and West, and that while we
are engaged in the advancement of their interests,
we are engaged in ga labor of love-" We ex-
| pect to make our Paper medium OF much val
Euable general intelligence to the public. we
have an established Correspondence in Oregon,
California, Utah and New Mexico, and will give
| the earliest reliable news from all intermediate
points, We will also have regular Correspon-
dants in all the principal Cities of the Union,
and special Correspondent at the seat OF
the General Government. With this abstract
of our principles and purposes, we submit
our undertaking to the patronage of generous
public, trusting that We may merit their liberal
support. -.rs-
