BELL AND EVERETT PLATFORM.

Whereas experience has demonstrated that
platforms adopted by the partisan Conventions
of the country have had the effect to mislead
and deceive the people, and at the same time
to widen the political divisions of the country,
by the creation and encouragement Of geograph-
ical and sectional parties therefore,
Resolred, That it is both the part of patriot.
ism and of duty to recognise no political prin.
ciple other than the Constitution of the country,
the union of the States, and the enforcement
of the laws and that as representatives Of the
Constitutional Union men of the country, in
National Convention assembled, we hereby
pledge ourselves to maintain, protect, and de-
fend, separately and unitedy, these great prin-
ciples Of public liberty and national safety
against all enemies, at home and abroad, be-
leving thereby peace may once more be re-
stored to the country, the just rights of the
people and of the States re.cstablished, and the
Government again placed in that condition of
justice, fraternity, and equality, which, under
the example and Constitution of our fathers,
has solemnly bound every citizen of the United
States to maintain more perfect union, esab.
lsh justice, insure domestic tranquility, pro-
vide for the common defence, promote the gen.
eral welfare, and secure the blessings Of liber-
ty to ourselves and our posterity.

pro,nectu, Of the National Republican.

Believing that the time has arrived when the
great Republican party Of the United States ought
70 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 a 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 groundess prejudices which have been
cngendered 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 II a cordial, but not a 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 an the District
of Columbia have more at stake than the peopl"
of any other portion of our common country. We
believe that to support Mr.. Lncoln's adminisra-
tion will be synonymous with maintaining the IN
tegrity Of the Federal Union, against the machin-
ations of those who would rend 1t as under. NO
one can doubt upon which side OF this issue the
people of Washington will lie 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 a cordial sup
port we shall have the sympathy of an immense
majority of the people of this District and vcin.
ity.
II Is not our design, however, to make the
National Republican mere political paper. We
intend, that as a medium of general and local
news 1t 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
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-
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 Ind-
ana avenue and Second street.

DOUGLAS AND JOHNSON PLATFORM.
Resolped, That we, the Democracy of the
Union, in Convention assembled, hereby de-
clare our atiirmance Of the resolutions unani.
mously adopted and declared as a platform Of
principles by the Democratic Convention at
Cincinnati, in the year 1856, believing that
Democratic principles are Interchangeable 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,
and whether native or foreign.
Resolved, 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
81 government aid as will insure the construc-
ton 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
versiye of the Constitution, and revolutionary
in their effect.
Rcsolred That in accordance with the in
depreciation of the Cincinnati platform, that,
during the existence of the Territorial Govern
mcnts, the IL easure 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.

A NAME FOR CoTToNDoN.-It has been
proposed to give the Southern Empire the
name of the discoverer of the continent,
upon which the Louisville Journal suggests
that inasmuch as Christovai Colon discov-
cred America, it would be proper to call the
new Southern Confederacy, for which a
name is sadly wanted, '' The Colon Repub-
lic." This would also be judicious, for
should the new Republic, in the process of
time, divide, one faction might be called the
q Colon aud the other the II Semi-Colon." :"

PLAIN TRUTH.-The San Francisco Morn
ing Call, in speaking of the qualifications
of the several Senatorial candidates, tells
the plainest and most straightforward truth
about the matter that we have seen:
"'Gcncral McDougall appears to be farther
off from the Senatorship now than he was
before having received the caucus nomina-
ton. Randolph, of course, Is out of the
ring, having been beaten in caucus. Den
yer, it is said, is about flying the track, and
some people are so foolish as to believe that
John Nugent may be elected. California
has withStood mary inflictions, but we think
she is not able yet to put up with Nugrnt,
nor McDuugall nor Denver, for neither are
fit men to represent the State in the United
States, nor do we believe either can get
there. If the enemies of these gentlemen
had desired plan to kill them off politi-
cally, they could not have hit upon better
one than that adopted by their friends in
keeping them in the field. Drop them il
they have not sense enough to resign. The
people don't want thcmI'

gclcs News of the Ist instant SAYS: :. 1t is
said that an organization is or foot in this
city and county looking to the formation
and PRONUNCIATION of Il Pacific Republic, in
connection with other similar organizations
in all portions Of the State. We are informed
that there are several military companies
now being enrolled in this city, and that
acquisitions for arms have been forwarded
to Sacramento for the purpose of equipping
the same. All this may portcnd nothing
after al, but it bchoovcs the people to be on
their guard, and see that they are not taken
bv surprise. for that there are those among
us who seek to sever our connection with
the Union and to establish separate gov
ernmcnt of which they shall he the rulers
and dictators, there is not the least doubt.
That these dcmagogues can succeed in their
object we DO not believe. because the mass
of the people are opposed to the idea of Il
Pacific Republic, but that they may make
the attempt is quite possible"

Dissolve the Union Who would part
The chain that binds us heart to heart'
Each link was forged by sainted sires
Amid the Revolutions fires;
And eooled-oh, where so rich a flood

And man became dcstruction's child;
And woman, in her passion wild,
Danced in the life blood of her Queen
Beside the dreadful guillotine
Dissolve the Union Roll away
The spangled flag of glory's day;
Blot out the history of the brave,
And deseerate each patriots grave;
And then, above the wreck Of years,
Quaff an eternity of tears.
Dissolve the Union. Can it be
That they who speak such words are free'
Great God Did any die to save
Such sordd wrctches from the grave
When breast to breast and brand to band
Our patriot fathers freed the land:
