Prospectus of the National Republican.

Believing that the time has arrived when the
great Republican party Of the United States ought
to be fairly represented in the daily press of the
National Metropolis we have embarked In the
enterprise of supplying the citizens of the District
of Columbia with daily publication, under the
title of the " NATIONAL REPUBLICAN"
In its political department, this journal will
advocate and defend the principles Of the Repub-
lican party, and endeavor to dsabuse the public
mind OF groundless prejudices which have been
engendered against it, by the false accusations
Of its enemies. Having the utmost confidence
that the administration Of Mr.. Lincoln will be
such as to merit our appreciation, we expect to
yield it a cordial, but not a servie support. In
the great issue that is likely to be made with his
administration, by the enemies of the Republican
party the people of Washington AMI the District
Of Columbia have more at stake than the people
Of any other portion Of our common country. We
believe that to support Mr.. Lincolns administra-
tion will be synonymous with maintaining the in
tegrty of the Federal Union, against the machin-
ations of those who would rend it asunder No
one can doubt upon which side of this issue the
people of Washington will be found, when they
come to realize that ii is fairly forced upon them
We feel confident, therefore, that in yielding to
the administration of Mr.. Lincoln coraial sup
port, We shall have the sympathy of IN immense
majority of the people Of this District and vicin-
ity.
It is not our design, however, to make the
National Republican a mere political paper. We
intend, that as a medium of general and local
news, it shall not be inferior to any other journal
published in this city. We shall pay particular
attention to questions Of local policy, and advo-
cate such reforms as we may deem essential to
the prosperity of the city, and to the advance
meut Of the moral and material welfare of its
inhabitants.
We deem it unnecessary, however, to multi
ply promises, as the paper will Immediately make
its appearance, and will then speak for itself
1t will be published every morning, and de-
lvered to city subscribers at six cents per week.
Mail subscribers, $3.50 year, payable in ad-
vance
The publication office is at the corner Of lndi-
ana avenue and Second street.

Resolved, That we, the Democracy of the
Union, in Convention assembled, hereby de-
clare our afiirmance of the resolutions unani
mously adopted and declared as platform of
principles by the Democratic Convention at
Cincinnati, in the year 1856, believing that
Democratic principles are unchangeable in
their nature, when applied to the same subject
matter and we recommend as the only further
resolutions the following:
ReSolved That it is the duty of the United
States to afford ample and complete protection
to all its citizens, whether at home or abroad,

Resolved, That one Of the necessities of the
age, in military, commercial, and postal

ton of railroad to the Pacific coast at the
earliest practicable period.
ResOiUed, That the Democratic party are in
favor Of the acquisition Of the island of Cuba,
on such terms as shall be honorable to our.
selves and just to Spain.
Resolved That the enactment of State Leg.
islatures to defeat the faithful execution of the
| fugitive slave law are hostile in character sub.
versive Of the Constitution, and revolutionary
in their effect
ReSolved, That in accordance with the in
depreciation of the Cincinnati platform, that
during the existence of the Territorial Govern
ments the measure of restriction, whatever i,
may be, imposed by the Federal Constitution
on the power of the Territorial Legislature
over the subject Of the domestic relations, az
the same has been, or shall hereafter be, finally
determined by the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States, should be respected by all gooC
citizens, and enforced with promptness ant
fidelity by every branch of the General Gov
crnment.

FIGHTING.

EDrToR NEVADA NATIONAL. Please look
at that thing that once appeared like a man.
his face Is black, blotched. swollen aud mu-
tilated until it resembles more, a butchers
block, on which very bloody piece Of beef
has just been cut In slices, than il does like
that Of an American citizen. hear him blnb-
ber out his half finished sentences Of profane
gibberish while reeling into that liquor dog
gerry bali unconscious OF where be IL going.
or what be Is trying to say or do. Yonder
goes fellow evidently less drunk, but per-
haps more fendish in his NAL evolent nature.
he has just knocked the more drunken wretch
down. and pelted, and kicked him into that
shapeless mass. because 10 bis drunken er-
uberance Of whiskey and patriotism, be
shouted "long live the Republic" Such q
beating and brusing would surely kill any
one except drunken man.
| 1t seems 10 me that Of all the causes that
brutalise and degrade human nature, that Of
fighting is certainly among the worst
Wherever spirit for quarrelling prevails,
it cannot fail to indicate village or CON-
munity beset with the lowest and most de-
graded minds not only on the part of the
vile wretcbes that do the brutal work but
also on those who permit such fiendish pro-
pensities to prevail.
What good can fighting do. Does II pun
ish any one for wrong doing, Certainly
not; for the one first 10 the wrong il az liable
to be the victor, aa is the one who would thus
avenge the wrong. But IL IL should be 9th
erwise. it only widens the breach between
the agriever and the sgrieved, which only
prepares the way for worse and far more sg.
gravsted wrongs from both parties. The
onn who is defeated will avail himself Of
the very first opportunity for becoming
avenged.
Hence it is plaia that lighting, instead Of
infiicting salutsry chsstisement on the first
offender, inevitably increases the catalogue
sf offences. promotes virulent and relentless
hatred, dovelopes the basest and most bru-
tai feelings aud propensities that reproach
human nature. while it dims. perver.s or OBJ
lltera'es the nobler and better feelings that
elevate society and dignity the man. The
prevalence OF this moral blight among men
actually renders fighting fashionable, and
even approved by many whose earlier NOR
al impressions and better Judgment, would
have despised such shameless brutality. and
spurned its votary as the vilest and filthiesi
thing in Nature. As sure a. peace. barmo-
nv and kindly feeling is productive of So
cial enjoyment. hut little inferisr to Heaven
SO is fighting and its kindred neral tenden-
cies, as productive Of shame. infsmy and
misery. Let the names OF fighters hence.
forth be regarded As synouynous with infa-
my and shame. IArRos.

marks be was restrained by the modest de-
meauor and pure soul look appealing from
her heaven blue eyes.
Elite always brought q full basket and
went tripping home with an empty one and
her scarlet silk purse filled with silver coin.
She was the sole dependence OF widowed
mother, and her noble efforts to keep away
want were known and made the fruit from
her basket ten times sweeter
When the great Union Meeting of the
Tennessee, Kentucky and Ohio Legislators

OF her supporting her sick mother. He was
SO struck with the girls manner and her
singular beauty, that be secretly resolved TO
