POLITICAL ISSUES.
We are entering upon year that will be memora-
BILE in the annals of American politicsthe year that
will witness, we trust, the election Of Republican
President and the national triumph of Republican,
Principles The great issues to be submitted to jury
of the whole people, these: Shall Slavery be
tended and protected by the Federal Government =
Shall the public doman-the Free Territories of the
Nation, be surrendered to the bGghting intrusion of
Slavery? Shall the Constitution be construed to re-
cognize and support Slavery National Institution?
Shall Slave Code for the Territories be enacted? Shall
the African Slave Trade be reopened? In short, shall
the doctrines of Calhoun Judge fancy, and Blu chanan
supercede the principles of Free Government taught
by Jefferson Madison, and Clay? These questions will
demand verdict at the hands of the American people
And there other important considerations to be
decided by the next campaign. Ameng these are,
Free Homesteads for the landless. Improvement of
rivers and harbors. Railroad to the Pacific a CEN
traI route encouragement OF the Manufacturing and
Farming industry of the country. Retrenchment and
Reform the Federal eXpenSeSa restoration, in fact
of the spirit simplicity and policy, of the earlier and
purer days of the Republic.
On all these questions and issues the PRESS AND

be found earnest champion on the side that will
promote FREEDOM, PROGRESS AND PROSPERITY.
