WASHINGTON, D. G.
NJ Esisss Ed,,er
A SUFFICIENT TINE HAS ELAPSED SINCE THE
n Inauguration of Mr. Buchanan, to dispe the hopes
entertained BY many who did not support ms election
to the Presidency that his administration Of affairs
would be moderate and conservative as to give re-
pose country long agated by exciting collisions
Of opinion and interest On the contrary has been 80
far marked by violence Of measures which Ia without
precedent, even in the administration Of Mr.. Pierce
In Kansas it has given all its patronage, not merely
faction detested by the people Of that territory
but to the odions men OF that faction, some Of
whom have participated directly in scenes OF violence
and boodshed; while it has concentrated the entire dis
possible army of the United States Fort Leavenworth
under the command Of man Of known violence Of
for the manifest purpose Of intimdating
feowcitizens there into submission to foreign usur.
PATTON and ii Intimidation fails, Of desolating them
with fire and sword.
In foreign affairs il does not disguise its purpose TO
take immense from the Treasury. to be expended
in the purchase Of new territories while it threatens
US with complications and fatal to commerce. in the
sole interest of institution, deemed temporary and
exceptional by the founders Of our Government but
which aspires to eternity Of duration, and to
universal dominion.
The purpose Of Mr. Buchanan's admnistra alton clear
y is keep up that agitation Of the Slavery Question,
which deliberately entered upon matter Of po-
tlcal calculation in 1854, the basis Of party
then formed control the desnes Of the country that
agitation to which those who surround him now LOOK
confidently for the perpeuation Of their own power.
There Large bodies Of countrymen in all parts
of the Unou who deplore this organization Of sec
ona party at the South bottorned upon the revolution
AIRY proceedings Of 1854 and still maintained by violent
acts appealing sectional passions; who perceive that
it ostracses the moderate and conservative portion Of
the citizens Of the slavehodng States from particpa-
ton and influence in public affairs; and who in this
geographical arrangement Of parties the greatest dan
gers of all kinds including danger to the peculiar nsti
tuition, the senstiveness of which is reckessly ap
pealed to by political gamblers,
1t is proposed by the undersigned, to establish a
Newspaper the City Of Washington, in which, the
views Of these portions Of countrymen may be
fected This newspaper will be styled The Republic,
and will endeavor to maintain nationality and COM
prehensiveness Of views, worthy Of its name.
Esteeming as the most imminent and pressing nation

by panderins to the passions Of thesavery propaganda
The Republic will resoiptely oppose Administration
which has determined TO perpefuate itself by keeping
up form Of party SO dangerous and SO odious.
An in1exble attachment to the Union, reverence
for the Constitution United States, the high
est achievement Of human wsdom general contormi-
ty doubtful of the Constitution and
to principles of public administration, to the schoo
Of politics illustrated by the genius OF Mr. Jeerson
and justice in foreign relations; the consol
daton of our civilization at home rather than needless
premature dangerous engagements Of territory the
dedication OF present public domain as theatre fol
the prosperous industry OF freemen and with that view
the prohibition Of its transfer except in moderate
titles to actual settlers; such, briefly are the principles
feelings and Objects which will give tone to The Re-
public. :.
1t will be one Of the aims of The Republic to CO.
operate in reducing the expenditures OF the Govern
mcnt which have been swollen to seventy millions pei
by extravaganza and corruption Of the part,
in power. The revenues OF the country are mainly
contributed by its free laborers while its disburse
ments, Of late years, have been made with very LITTLE
reference to their interests. Public employments mill
tary, naval; and CIVIL have become more and more en-
crossed by peculiar class, which bears little Of thu
public burdens and which has thus had a double mo
tive to augment salaries AMI expenditures.
The publication Of The Republic will be commenced
in the first week Of next September. The prices ant
terms Of subscription given below 1t is expected
that daily publication will be added, to commenc,
with the next session Of Congress. The Weekly Re
public will be printed mammoth sheet, n by Z:
inches. The Semi-Weekly will be printed on shee
~ be ~ inches. -rs#g ~
