PROSPECTUS OF THE WEEKLY NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN.
WASHINGTON, D. c., December, !

WASHINGTON, d. c., December, 1860.
The undersigned have commenced the publica-
ton, in this city, Of a weekly newspaper, called
the National Republican.
1t is printed on q large sheet, 27 by AZ inches,
and is furnished at the low prices stated below.
II will contain all the original matter Of the
daily National Republican, with the exception of
local news not interesting to country subscribers.
1t will give full reports of the proceedings
Of Congress, and Of the other departments of the
National Government.
1t will contain all the news of the day. foreign
Ind domestic, markets, &C., &C., as well as an
original correspondence from all parts of the
country. The miscellaneous department will re-
ceve special attention, aud, in all respects, the
effort will be made to establish the character Of
the National Republican asa
FAMILY NEWSPAPER.
In politics, the paper will be Republican, sus-
tanning the incoming Administration of Mr. Lin
coin, but disclaiming, however, any pretension
to be the organ of the President elect.
There is no other Republican paper in the
District of Columbia, or in the vicinity of it, and
it is believed that recent events have opened to
such paper an important sphere of useful eff
fort The time has come, when the actual ad-
ministration of the Government upon Republican
principles will explode the Misrepresentation
which have made those principles SO distasteful
to the South.
But it is not only here, and in this vicinity,
that the projectors Of the National Republican
hope to make 1t useful. To the whole country
they offer journal which will discuss national
politics from a national standpoint, and which
will never be swerved from patriotic duty by any
overpowering pressure Of local interest.

Georgetown Correspondence.
GEORGETOwN, D. c., Jan, |

UEORGETOWN, ~. u, Jan. 10, 1901.
Our town was entirely quiet during last
night, in consequence Of the operations of the
regular police and the strong patrols which are
now on duty. 1t is to be hoped that this state
of things will continue.
The newly formed military companies are
progressing with their drills every evening, and
are rapidly attaining that proficiency which
will make them efficient soldiers in the hour of
need. They are awaiting now the action of
the Secretary of War, and it is to be hoped
that the result may be favorable. No city in
the Union will turn out larger proportion of
its population in military array, for the mainte-
nance of law and order, under the banner of
the Union, than our own.
There is nothing of importance in the police
reports of the past day. Only two dodgers
were accommodated last night.
The state of the weather and the condition
of the pavements is such, that folks are mostly
kept within doors.
Though our town is deeply moved by the
present aspect of public affairs, an abiding
trust still remains that the gloom will be ulti
mately dispersed in Gods own way and under
the guidance of his Providential arm.

Governor Curtin's Inaugural.

Harrisburg, Jan. 15.-Governor Curtins in.
augural was delivered this morning. He pledges
himself to stand between the Constitution and
all encroachments instigated by hatred or am.
bition, tanaticism or folly.
He says the election of the President has
been made pretext for disturbing the peace of
the country, by wrestling from the Federal Gov.
ernment the powers which the people conferred
on it when the Constitution was adopted. There
has been nothing in the life or acts of Mr.. Lin.
coin to warrant the excitement. Blinded in
their judgment, part of the people are now
precipitating themselves into a revolution.
He says if Pennsylvania has any laws in.
frnging on the rights Of any State, that contra.
vene any Federal law, or obstruct their execu.
tion, they ought to be repealed. Pennsylvania
has never faltered in the recognition Of all the
duties imposed by the national compact, and
will, by every act consistent with devotion to
the interests OF her people, promote fraternity
and peace between the States. When trade
was PROSTATE and industry psralyzed by adverse
legislation by the General Government, Penn
sylvania waited patiently. Novoice spoke dis.
loyalty or treason, and no arm was raised to
strike at the sacred fabric of the Union.
1t will be our duty to unite with the people
Of the loyal States in ust and honorable meas
ures for Cancellation. If they are Just and
moderate, the danger may be averted. Ours
is National Government having all the at
tributes ofsoveregnty. Among these is the right
of selfpreservation. No State or combination of
States can secede, nor absolve themselves from
the obligations of the Union. Pennsylvania
will never acquiesce in such a conspiracy, nor
assent to doctrines involving the destruction
Of the Government. If it is TO exist, it must
have power adequate to the enforcement of the
supreme law in every State. 1t is the first duty
Of the Federal Government to stay the pro
gress of anarchy, and enforce the laws, and
Pennsylvania will give it a united, honest, and
faithful support. The people mean to preserve
| the Union at every hazard.

BRECKENRIDGE AND LANE PLATFORM.

BREChlNRlDGE AND LANE fLaIFORM.
Resolued, That the platform adopted by the
Democratic party at Cincinnati be affirmed,
with the following explanatory resolutions:
First. That the Government Of Territory
organized by an act of Congress is provisional
and temporary, and during its existence all cit.
izens of the United States have an equal right
to settle with their property in the Territories,
without their rights, either of person or prop
erty, being destroyed or impaired by Congress
sonal or Territorial legislation.
Second. That it is the duty of the Federal
Government, in all its departments, to protect,
when necessary, the rights of persons and prop.
erty in the Territories, and wherever else its
constitutional authority extends.
Third. That when the settlers of Territory,
having an adequate population, form a State
Constitution, the right Of sovereignty com
mences, and, being consummated by admission
into the Union, they stand on an equal footing
with the people of other States and the State
thus organized ought to be admitted into the
Federal Union, whether its Constitution pro.
hibits or recognises the institution Of slavery.
Resolped, That the Democratic party are in
favor Of the acquisition of the island of Cuba
on such terms as will be honorable to ourselves
and just to Spain, at the earliest practicable
moment.
| Resolved, That the enactment Of State Legis.
latures to defeat the faithful execution of the
fugitive slave law are hostile in character, sub
versive of the Constitution, and revolutionary
in their effect.
Resolred, That the Democracy of the United
States recognise it as the imperative duty OF this
Government to protect the naturalzed citizen
in all his rights, whether at home or in foreign
lands, to the same extent as its native.born cit
liens.
Whereas one of the greatest necessities OF
the age, in political, commercial, postal, and
military point of view, is speedy communica'
ton between the Paciic and Atlantic coasts
therefore be it
Resolued, That the National Democratic party
do hereby pledge themselves to use every means
in their power to secure the passage of some
bill, to the extent Of the constitutional author
ity of Congress, for the construction of Pa
cifc railroad from the Mississippi river to the
Pacific ocean, at the earliest practicable mo
ment.

Virginia Legislature.

.Richmond, Jan. l5.-In the Senate, Mr..

the citizens of the Commonwealth therefore
Resolved, That the President of the United
States be respectfully requested to inform the
Governor of the object of the General Govern
ment in sending increased forces aforesaid, and
whether, in his opinion, the object of the erec-
ton of said strongholds for the defence of the
property of Virginia is likely to be realized. 1t
lies over.
Mr.. Patterson offered joint resolution, to
appoint r. NJ. T. Hunter, William c. Rives,

the full enjoyment Of their rights, and report
the result to the State Convention.
