TIVE NATIONAL DFAoC RATIO REVIEW IL non,
l. firmly established in Washington City. Every
great question before the prcsept COngicss will lie
eiAo1laley discussed IN is columns. The subject
the Presidency too, will be treated at length m eyerv
number To this subject the attention OF every pul,
teian in the country is invited As one Of parumount
importance and one which, nevertheless, is too often
slightly regarded in advance OF positive action.
While the Review will he radically democratic Il
will also he independent, and will allow no slavish
fear Of offending nominal friends to prevent a bold
aud manly advocacy Of truth, and rigid and unspa-
ring denuncation of error IL will claim the und0ult
ed right-guaIantced by the ancient and the modern
Magma Cnarta-to weigh In the scales OF impartial
justice the conduct of political leaders of every grade.
The Of 1856 presents features Of DEEPER interest
To the patriot and sage than any political contest in
the annals of the nation. We are called to exhibit
that renovattng power which the amazing energies of
democratic principle can alone exert cur party is
called TO the task Of asserting the questioned rights
uf the citizen and of re-assuring the myrads of hu
manity that this is still the land fathers left it
the land OF individual freedom and religious toleta
tion In contest like this we may well ignore the
claims Of doubtful merit The goddess Of exrcdiency
will demand ou worship, but heaven grant that We,
may be nfdels to her prctensons let us rise or fall
upon principle alone it is too late to present demo
ricy in the garb Of suppant at the feet Of consol-
dated power. We look with confidence TO the decii-
ion Of the approaching National Democratic CONVEX
tion, believing its counsels will be characterized ~
that bold recognition of the right, and prompt repndi
alton Of the wrong, which will render it not only
true exponent of the democracy Of the Union, but
world. The following, among other democratic doc
trnes, will be advocated
Opposition to mOnopolies Of every description.
The complete separation, not only in uane, but In
fact Of Church and State.
\ tariff only for revenue.
| A strict construction Of the constitution, cortem-
plating retention, by each State, Of every power, not
| expressly delegated to the General IoveTument
A steady return to the constitutional currency"
Of the country.
Accountability of representatives Of every character
to the authority creating them.
The encouragement of every honorable effort to In
crease our territorial limits and extend the benefits
Of our republican institutions.
| Finally the best government, usually that which
does not attempt TO confer positive blessings upon tie
people, but which suffers them to take care Of them
selves.
