DANIEL Il. GODDLpE, Assistant
A sufficient lime has elapsed since the in
auguration of Mr.. Buchanan, to dspel the
hopes entertained by many who did not sup
p n his election to the Presidency that his ad-
nniSlration OF affairs would be so moderote
an conservative as TO give repose 10 a coun-
tly too long agitaled by exciting collisions of
opinion and interest On the contrary, II has
been so far marked by violence of measures
which is without precedent, even in the ad-
mnistra,ion of Mr. Pierce.
Ia Kansas, it has given all It's patronage not
merely to a facticn, detested by the people of
that Territory, but 10 the most cdluus men of
that faction, some Of whom have participated
directly IN scenes of violence and bloodShed; !;
while it has concentrated the entire dsposable
army Of the United States at Fort Leaven-
worth, under the command Of a man of known
Violence of character, for the manifest pur-
r'Se of ntimda,ing our fellow-citizens there

Intimidation fails, OF desolating them with
ire and sword.
In foreign affairs, ii docs not disguise its
purpose 10 take immense sums from the Trea-
slry, to be expended in the purchase of new
territories, while ii threatens US with compli-
cations and wars fatal TO commerce. in the sole
.a:eres; OF an institution, deemed temporary
AMI exceptional by the founders of our Cow
errment, but which now aSpires TO an eternity
@. Duration, and 10 universal dominion.
The purpose of Mr.. Buchanan's S adminS,ra-
Ion clearly is, 10 keep up that agitation of the
Slrery Question, which was deliberately en-
tered upon as matter Of political calculation
n 1851, as the basis OF new party then form
ii to control the desiinieS OF the country; that
CITATION TO which Mr.. Buchanan owes his
yEn elec,ion,and to which those who surround
h.m now look confidently for the perpetuation
d. heir own power.
There are large bodies of our coun,rymen,
n all parts of the Union, who dePlore this or
slniZalOn of n sectional party at the South,
b1,lomed upon the revolutionary proceedings
oi 1854, AMI still maintained by violent acts,
appealing 10 sectional passions; who perceive
that !! oStracises the moderate and conserva-
tive portion of the citizens of the siaveholding
Safes from participation and influence in pub
lie affairs; and who see in this geographical
arrangement of parties the greatest dangers of
al kinds, including danger 10 the peculiar in
1lidtion, the sensitiveneSs of which is SO reck-
.ssly appealed to by political gamblers.

It will be one of the aims of The RepubEcto TO
cooperate in reducing the expenditures of the
Government, which have been swollen 10 sew
euly millions per annum by the extravaganza
and corruption Of the parry in power. The
!svcnues of the country are mainly contributed
ty lis free laborers, while its disbursements, of
late years, have been made with very little re-
.srence to their interests. Public employments,
military, naval, and civil. have become more
and more engrossed by peculiar class, which
bears little Of the public burdens, and which
las thus had double motive 10 augment sa-
aries and expenditures.
The publication of TIE Republic will be
commenced in the first week os next Septem-
Der. The prices and terms of subscription are
gwen below. 1t is expected that daily pub
Acation will be added, TO commence with the
Eext session of Congress. The Weekly Re-
public will be printed on mammoth sheet,27

tel on sheet % by "a inches.
