Prospectus Of the National Republican

Believing that tho 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 It's political department, this journal will
advocate and defend the principles Of the Repub-
lcan party, and endeavor to disabuss 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 70
yield it cordial, but not servile support. In
the great issue that 10 likely 10 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. Lincoln's administra-
tion will be synonymous with maintaining the in
tegfity Of the Federal Union, against the machin-
atoms 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 cordial sup
port, we shall have the sympathy of an immense
majority Of the people of this District and vicin-
ity.
It is not our design, however, to make the
National Republican 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 sdvo-
cate such reforms as We may deem essential to
the prosperity Of the city, and 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 will 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 year, payable In sd-
vance.
The publication Office Is at the corner of Indi-
ana avenue and Second street.

Nor do hesitate to say, that while the pres
ervstion of the Union may depend upon that
Strengthening Of the friends Of the Union at
the South, which can only be expected from
such action at the North as will efectually
repel the suspicion that the constitutional rights
Of the South are mensced with attack, Il 10
equally clear, that the paramount object Of ex.
cluding Slavery from the Territories will fail
to be accomplished, If the dominant party at
the North loses the support of the class Of per.
sons who will insist that the rights Of slave.
holders in the States shall be respected. There
is such thing a. losing all by attempting too
much; and 1t is as true in politics as Il Is in
war, that concentration is the best guaranty Of
success. The exclusion Of Slavery from the
Territories is the great good to be attained and
to be strong enough to insist upon that with.
out compromise-and no compromise has been
or will be proposed which is anything but sub
stantial abandonment Of the whole-the North
must be kent united and while no other basis
of such union ought to be desired anywhere,
none other is practicable as a matter of fact,
considering the temper, traditions, and fixed
ideas Of the central States, than one which shall
include the scrupulous ful6lment, in letter and
spirit, not grudgingly, but generously, Of every
duty which the North really owes to the South
under the Constitution of the United States.
Since II is neither to be expected, or desired,
that difficulties which have assumed too much
the aspect Of a struggle between two sections
Of the Union, shall be terminated by clear
victory for the one and clear defeat for the
other, the character Of the result depends upon
the points to be yielded, and the points to be
insisted upon. Every man who is generous, and
even every man who is only consderate, will
make large allowance for the passions and
evaporation incident to a change Of dynasties.
If it Is wise to build golden bridge for Fly.
ing enemy, it is wise to spare the pride, not
Of enemies, but Of countrymen; and concession,
where we can afford to yield, will enable US to
be firm where We cannot afford TO yield.
Thanking you for your suggestions, IN which
you perceive that substantially concur, I re.
main, my dear sir, very truly your friend,

International relations, is sound in itself Gov.
ernments ought to be held responsible 10 for.
eigners for the preservation of internal order.
aud to indemnify them for the consequences Of
disorder.
Such a provision, while it would wound no
enlightened conscience, would be a Legislative
declaration Of the resolute good faith Of Maine To
the compacts Of the Union, of inestimable value
at the present crisis. 1t would meet the com.
plants as to the execution of the fugitive slave
law, at the precise point upon which those com.
plants are now concentrated, viz: the obstruc.
tions to the law arising from mob violence.
While the existing most serious attempt to
subvert our Government does not really origin
ate in any grievances connected with the slavery
question: it is undeniable that honest alarms for
the safety of their domestic institutions, from
the condition of Northern sentiment, do exist
among the people of the South. The disunion.
lists per sc are beyond the reach of any remedy
except force, or the resolute display of force but
it is still possible to strengthen the hands of the
friends OF the Union at the South, by such con.
siderate action at the North as will enable them
to show that the alarms to which refer are uu.
founded. The difficulties with which these no
BILE men are contending can only be realized by
those who receive the vivid details from their
own lips. 1t is they who are struggling against
adverse winds and adverse tides. 1t ia upon
them that the brunt of the battle falls. Their
heroic efforts deserve our admiration and sym.
pathies; and just feeling, as we'll as sound pol.
icy, urges us to hasten to their relief with all
the succors at our command. And who can
overrate the assistance in their struggle with
notification, to be derived from the pledge,
voluntarily given by the free States, to make in.

Ayers Ague Cure,

which neutraizes this Inalarious poison in the
blood, and stimulates the liver to expe it from the
body. As it should, so it does cle this affecting
disorder with perfect certainty. And it does more,
or rather does what is of service to these sub
ject to this Infection If taken in season it expels
it from the system it is absorbed and thus keeps
those who use it free from its attacks; keeps the
system in health although exposed to the disease.
Consequently it not only cures, but protects from,
the great variety of affections which are induced
by this malignant influence, such as Remittent
Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb, or Masked Ague,
Periodical Headache, or Bilious Headache, Bilious
Fevers, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Blindness,
Toothache, Earachn, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpta-
tons, Painful Affections Of the Spleen, Mysteries,
Collie, Paralysis, and Painful Affections of the
Stomach and Bowels, all Of which, when arising
from this cause, will be found to assume more or
less the intermittent type. This AGUE CURB"
removes the cause of these arrangements, and cures
the disease. .-
This it accomplishes by stimulating the exere4'
tories to eXpel the virus from the system and
these organs by degrees become habited to do this
their Office of their own accord. Hence arises what
we term accRmatati0n. Time may accomplish the
same end, but often life is not'lcng enough, or is
sacrificed in the attempt, while this AGUE CURE"
reason to believe this is a surer as well as safer
remedy for the whole class of diseases which are
caused by the miaSmatic Infection, than any other
which has been discovored and it has still another
important advantage to the public which is, that
it is cheap as well as good. -.
