immediately admitted as State under the
Constitution recently formed and adopted
by her people, and accepted by the House
OF Representatives.
IL. That, while providing revenue for
the support Of the general government BY
dulles upon imports, sound policy requires
such an adjustment of these imports as to
encourage the development of the indus
trial interests of the whole country and
we commend that policy of national ex
changes, which secures to the working
Ipen liberal wages. to agriculture remune-
rating prices, to mechanics and manufac
turers an adequate reward for their skill,
| labor, and enterprise, and to the nation
commercial prosperity and independence.
l3. That We protest against any sale or
alienation 10 Others of tie Public Lands
held by actual settlers, and against any
view Of the Free Homestead policy which
regards the settlers as paupers or suppl
anls for public bounty and we demand
the passage by Congress of the complete
and satisfactory Homestead measure which
has already passed the House.
Ia. That the Republican party is op-
posed TO any change in our Naturalization
Laws or any State Legislation by which
the rights OF citizenship hitherto accorded
10 immigrants from foreign lands shall be
abridged or impaired and in favor oi
giving full and efficient protection TO the
rights of all classes Of citizens, whether ma
tive or naturalized. both at home and
abroad.
10. That appropriations by Congress
for River and Harbor improvements Of q
National character, required for the &C
commodation and security of an existing
commerce, are authorized by the Consti
tuition, and justified by the obligation o
: Government TO protect the lives and prop
! erty of it's citizens.

is 'mperatively demanded by the interest
of the whole country that the Fedora
Government ought 10 render immediate

: IL Finally, having thus set forth on
. distinctive principles and views, We invit
the cooperation of all citizens, howeve

tr regard to our Spring elections, the
Daily Journal has the following peril
nent remarks. which We hope will be
needed. 1t says: I'VE hope our friends
all over the State will not forget that an
election of no slight Importance is to be-
held in April. The disposition too often

GERS, we give into the hands OF our crafty
and INSCRIPTIONS opponents exactly the
power they want at the fall election And
We give them the advantage Of the moral
influence that attenos every victory in a
Presidential contest. Let our friends be
up and working. then. Organize. call con
ventions. canvass townships, aud get out
voters as xealously for trustees and jus
tices. and constables. as for Governor and
electors. Let us carry the Spring election
with glorious rush, and it vill help as
S 900 votes in the election next fall. We
mean iu.t vhst we say. A thorough vic
tory in the township elections will do more
than any other possible influence to create
the prestige ard the feeling that vi carry
the Presidential election.

~ The telegrsphic correspondent of The
Cincinnati Gazette, writing from Washing
ton, on the 7lh inst, says:
This has been gloomy day for the
Donglasites. Close upon tho intelligence
that the Slideli party had carried the en-
tire Louisiana delegation to Charleston
Who are utterly hostile to Douglas, came
the news that Chicago had reelected Long
John Wentworth Mayor by $50 majority
This large and decisive majority vas unex.
Pected even by Republicans. and com
pletely astoundsd the Douglas men. who
have been Dragging for a month back that
Chicago was to be redeemed this spring
through the powerful influence Of the Lit
tie Giant.
"The Star of this evening 10 also out
upon Douglas. charging him sith medita-
ting and threatening bolt like that Of
Van Buren, ia ls4S, and earnestly protest
ing against the idea OF having the dele
gales to Charleston from States hopelessly
welded to TIE doctrines of the Republicans
lay down the platform fer the Democratic
States. 1t says: The idea of permitting
those in the Convention. who would cater
to the preiudices on the Slavery question
prevalent at the North. to lay down plat
form for the party where the Democracy
will otherwise triumph. is too preposterous
TO be thought Of in these times. The truth
is, the Convention system, il has existed
for twenty years past, requires radical
changes; else the Democratic party Of The
country will soon cease to exist except in
nsme.''
