SUFFICIENT TINE HAS ELAPSED SINCE THE
n inauguration of Mr.. Buchanan, to dispe the hopes
entertained by many who did not support his election
to the Presidency that his administration Of affairs
would be moderate and conservative as to give re-
pose country long agtaed BY exciting collisions
OF opinion and interest On the contrary 1t has been 20
far marked by violence Of measures, which Is without
precedent even in the administration Oh Mr. fierce
to faction detested by the people Of that territory
but the most odious men Of that faction some Of
whom have participated directly in scenes Of violence
and bloodshed; while has concentrated the entire dis
possible army Of the United States at Fort Leavenwoth
under the command OF q man OF known violence Of
character for the manifest purpose Of Illuminating our
felIow-citizens there submission to foreign
patton, and intimidation fails, OF desolang them
with Are and sword.
take immense sums from the Treasury to be expended
in the purchase of new territories, while 1t threatens
with complications and wars to in the
sole interest Of an institution, deemed temporary and
exceptional by the founders Of our Government, but
which aspires to an eternity Of duration, and to
universal dominion
y keep up that agitation Of the Slavery Question:
which was deliberately entered upon as matter OF po-
ical calculation in 1854 as the basis OF new party
then formed to control the desnes OF the country; that
agitation to which those who surround him now look
confidently for the perpetuatian Of their own power.

acts appealing sectional passions; who perceive that
the moderate and conservative portion Of
the citizens OF the slavehodng States from particpa-
ton and influence in pubic affairs; and who see in this
geographical arrangement of parties the greatest dan
gers OF all kinds including danger to the peculiar lnst-
tuition the sensveness Of which Is SO reckl essy ap.
pedled to by political gamblers.
1t is proposed by the undersigned, to establish q
Newspaper at the City OF Washington, in which, the
views OF these portions Of countrymen be re-
dccted This newspaper will be styled The Republic,
prehensy v1 OF Views Worthy Of it, name
Esteeming the most imminent and pressing nation
al danger the attempt to attain geographical party,
by panderng the passions Of the slavery propaganda
The Republic will esolutely oppose an Adminisr alton
which has determined TO perpetuate itself BY keeping
up form OF party SO dangerous and so odious.
An infexib!e attachment to the Union, reverence
for the Constitution OF the United States the high
est achievement OF human wisdom; general conformi-
ty to doubtful Of the Constitution and
principles of public administration to the school
Of politics illustrated by the genius Of Mr.. Jefferson;
peace and justice in foreign relations; the CONSOLE
daon Of civilization at home rather than needless,
premature, dangerous engagements territory the
dedication OF present public domain theatre for
the prosperous industry reenen and with that view
the prohibition Of its transfer except in moderate guam
titles to actual settlers; SUCH briefly the principles
FEELINGS and Objects which will give tone to The Re-
public.

operate reducing the expenditures the Govern
ment which have been swollen to seventy millions pei
by the extravaganza and corruption Of the party
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 empIuyments mill
tary nava and civil. have become more and more
crossed by peculiar class which bears little Of the
public burdens, and which has thus had double mo.
tive to augment salaries and expenditures.

in the first week Of next September. The prices ant
