A SUFFICIENT TINE HAS ELAPSED SINCE THE
II Inauguration OF Mr. Buchanan, to dispe the hopes
entertained by many who did not support his elecsa
to the Presidency, that his administration Of affairs
would be moderate and conservative as, tn give
pose to country too long agitated by exciting collisions
Of opinion and interest On the contrary il has beenss
far marked by violence Of measures which is without
precedent even in the administration uf Mr.. Pierre
In Kansas, il has given all its patronage, not merely
TO faction defested by the people of that territory
but to the most odions Of that faction Of
whom have participated directly in violence
possible Of the United States Fort
under the command OF Of known violence Of
character for the manifest purpose Of ntmidatng
felow-itizers there into submission to foreign
patton, and Intimidation tails, Of desolAtng them
with fire and sword.
In foreign affairs, it does disguise its purpose to
take Immense sums from the Treasury to be expended
in the purchase Of territories, while il threatens
us with complications and wars fatal to in the
sole interest Of an Institution, deemed temporary and
exceptional by the founders Of Government, but
which now aspires to an eternity Of duration, and to
universal dominion 8f -8- E...
The purpose Of Mr. Buchanan's administration clear.

litical calculation in 1854 the basis party
then formed to control the desnes Of the country
agitation to which those who surround him lock
confidently for the perpetuation Of their power
There are large bodies of cDuntrymen, in all parts
OF the Union, who dcplore this organization Of q
tiolal party at the South upon
AIRY proceedings of 1904 and still maintained by violent
acts, appealing to sectional passions; wle perceive
1t ostracises the moderate and conservative portion Of
the citizens OF the slavehodig States from parcipa-
tion and influence in pubic affairs; and who in this
geographical arrangement of parties the greatest dam
gers Of all kinds including danger to the peculiar ns-
tuition, the sensveness Of which is rcckiessly APP
peales to by political gamblers. Ere o..
II is proposed by the undersigned, to establish a
Newspaper at the City Of Washington, in which, the
views OF these portions of onr countrymcn may be re-
fected This newspaper will be styled The Repsbhc
and Will endeavor 10 maintain Nationality and
prehensvcness of views, worthy OF its name.
EstecmiIg as the most imminent and pressing nation

est achievement of human wisdom; general cenorri-
~ 10 doubtful constructions Of the Constitution sud

Of politics illustrated by the genius OF Mr.. jefferson;

public.
1t will be one Of the aims Of The Republic to CO.
operate in reducing the expenditures OF the Govern
ment, which have been swollen to seventy millions per
xnnum by the and corrupn of the parry
in power. The revenues of the country are mainly
contributed by Its free tabOrers while Its disurse-
ments Of late years, have been made with very little
reference TO their interests. Public employments mill
tary, naval; and civil, have become aud
crossed by peculiar class, which bears little Of the
public burdens and which has thus had double
tive to augment salaries and expenditures.
