PROSPECTUS
OF THE


A National Bank, formerly an essential point Of diff
ference between rival parties has noie advocates
AProtsts0s Tariff for the sake Of profession, which
once divided parties and distracted our National Coun-
cs has become obsolete question Of party policy,
simply because "sepsnae tari6'' affords incidental
protection to American Manufactures. A modiica-
ton Of the details Of our present tariff system is all
that demanded by the most strenuous advocates Of
protection to American Industry.
The distribution Of the proceeds OF the public lands
among the several States formerly claimed by one
party and the application Of those proceeds solely in
AID OF the national Treasury, as claimed by the other
party have both yielded TO compromise Of these con-
hicting opinions far at least as TO sink these ques
tons as issues between Wings and Democrats. plan
formed Of compound Of "squatter sovereignty, Of
graduation, and Of "surrender TO the States" in
which they lie, seems likely to withdraw the public
lands from the arena Of future party contests.
The improvement Of hdrbovs and rioers BY congress
sional aid, on which political parties have hitherto
differed at different times has now become less ques-
ton Of principle than Of local and sectional contest;
and 1t will doubtless be adjusted by the next Con-
gress, upon that basis Of berality and justice de-
manded by the spirit Of the age and the true interests
Other questions, of minor importance. on which, at
different times the two prominent parties Of the
try disagreed hare now, by change Of circumstance
become obsolete What, then, remain as issues Of
any theoretical or practical importance between Wings
and Demecratsf We know Of none; and If these
hitherto rival parties shall maintain their respective
they will do 30 for the mere sake Of the
spOjb Of potoeri
But new issues have arisen having no referenc to
the party organizations Of Wings and Democrats
issues which are vastly important in their bearing
upon the future welfare of the country land which
issues must in their discussion, progress, and term
nation annihilate these two parties which, for years
past have batted with alternate success for political
supremacy.
A new era is at hand--an era which will be char
acterzed in the future history of these States the
