A SUFFICIENT TINE HAS ELAPSED SINCE THE
IL Inauguration Of Mr.. Buchanan to dspel the hopes
entertained by many who did not support his election
to the Presidency, that his administration Of affair
would be moderate and conservative as to give
pose country too long agated BY exciting collisions
opinion and interest On the contrary it has been
far marked by violence OF measures which Is without
precedent, even in the administration OF Mr.. Pierce.
In Kansas it has given all its patronage not merely
faction, deested by the people Of that territory
but to the most odious men Of that faction, some
whom have participated directly in scenes Of violence
and blcodshed while it has the entire dis
possible Of the United States Fort
under the command OF man Of known violence OF
character for the manifest purpose Of intimidatng
fellow-cxens there into submission to foreign
patton, and II intimidation fails, Of desoatinS them
with fire and sword.
In foreign affairs, it does not disguise its purpose to
take immense sums from the Treasury to be expended
in the purchase OF territories while il threatens
with complications and fatal TO commerce. in the
sole interest Of institution, deemed temporary and
exceptional by the founders Of our Government, but
which now aspres to eternity OF duration, and &c
universal dominion.
The purpose Of Mr.. Buchanan's administration clear
y s to keep up that agitation Of the Slavery Question
which was deliberately entered upon matter Of po
litca calculation in 1854 as the basis Of q party
then formed TO control the destnes Of the country that
agitation to which those who surround him now look
confidently for the perpetuation Of their own power.
There large bodies Of countrymen in all parts
Of the Union, who depoIc this organization OF
tional party at the South bottomed upon the revolution
airy proceedngs Of 1854 and still maintained BY violent
acts appealing to sectional passions who perceive that
1t osracises the moderate and conservative portion Of
the citizens OF the saveholdng States from partcpa-
ton and influence in public affairs; and who In this
geographical arrangement Of parties the greatest dam
gers Of all kinds including danger TO the peculiar nst
tuition the sensitveness of which Is reCkessly ap-
pealed to by political gamblers.
1t is proposed by the undersigned, to establish a
Newspaper At the City of Washington, in which, the
views Of these portions OF our countrymcn may be

and will endeavor to maintain nationality and
prehcnsiveness Of views, worthy OF its name.
Esteeming as the most imminent and pressing nation
al danger, the attempt to attain geographical party
by panderng TO the passions of the slavery propaganda
The Republic will resouely oppose Administrator
which has determined to perpetuae itself by keeping
up form Of party SO dangerous and SO odous.
An infexible attachment TO the Union, reverence
for the Constitution Of the United States the high
est achievement Of human wisdom; general conform-
y as TO doubtful constructions Of the Constitution and
as to principles Of public administration the school
Of politics illustrated by the genius Of Mr. jefferson;
peace and justice In foreign relations; the CONSOLE
dation Of civilization at home rather than needless
premature, dangerous engagements Of territory; the
dedication Of present public domain theatre for
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.

mens, OF late years. have been made with very little
reference to their interests Public employments mill
tary, naval; and civil have become aud 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.
