MIR. EDIroR:-Since my last, a pubic
meeting was held by the parents and
friends of children attending the public
school, the object of which was to take in
to consideration the propriety of urging the
wants of the school to the Board of Educa-
ton. The school is still held in the base
ment of the old St. Cyprian Church, which
is much out of repair, and very uncomfort-
able when the weather is inclement. The
present owners refuse to repair it, for the
reason, they say, that it is soon to be torn
down; and, as the Board does not give it
self much trouble in regard to it, the meet
ing proposed to appoint committee to re-
quest more comfortable school-room, and
if unsuccessful, to collect donations from
our people at large to make some small re-
pairs and furnish the school with more
books, and of higher branches than are at
present taught.

at Albany, on Tuesday, and argued that
no decision could be given in the Lennon

Court, and, further, because the former

them, and had no further claim on their

DOUGLAS AND JOHNSON PLATFORM

Resolved, That we, the Democracy of the
Union, in Convention assembled, hereby de.
clare our affirmance of the resolutions unan
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:
ReSolced, That it is the duty of the United
States to afford ample and complete protection
to all its citizens, whether at home or abroad,
and whether native or foreign.
Resolred, That one of the necessities of the
age, in military, commercial, and postal
point of view, is speedy communication be.
tween the Atlantic and Pacific States and
the Democratic party pledge such constitution
al government aid as will insure the construc-
tion of railroad to the Pacific coast at the
earliest practicable period.
Resolred, 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.
Resolred, 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.
ReSolced, 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 it
may be, imposed by the Federal Constitution
on the power of the Territorial Legislature
over the subject Of the domestic relations, as
the same has been, or shall hereafter be, finally
determined by the Supreme Court of the Uni.
ted States, should be respected by all good
citizens, and enforced with promptness and
fidelity by every branch of the General Gov.
err ment.

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 disabuse the public
mind OF groundless prejudices which have been
engendered against 1t, 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 servile 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 and 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.. Lncoln's administra-
tion will be synonymous with maintaining the in
tegrity Of the Federal Union against the machin-
ations Of those who would rend 1t asunder No
one can doubt upon which side of this issue the
people of Washington will be found, when they
come to realize that 1t is fairly forced upon them.
We feel confident, therefore, that In yielding to
the administration of Mr.. Lincoln a cordial sup
port we shall have the sympathy of an immense
majority of the people Of this District and vicin-
ity.
1t is not our design, however, to make the
National Republican mere political paper. We
intend, that 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, aud to the advance
ment OF the moral and material welfare of Its
inhabitants.
We deem it unnecessary, however, to multi
ply promises, as the paper viii, Immediately make
its appearance, and will then speak for itself
1t will be published every morning, and de-
livered to city subscribers at six cents per week.
Mail subscribers, $3.50 a year, payable in ad-
vance.

ana avenue and Second street.
