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 "NArIoNAL REPUBLICAN,"
In It's political department, this journal will
advocate and defend the principles Of the Repub-
lican party, and endeavor to dsabuse the public
mind Of groundlees prejudices which have been
engendered against IT, 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 1t q 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.. Lincoln's administers
ton will be synonymous with maintaining the in
tegrity Of the Federal Union, against the machin-
ations of those who would rend II asunder. No
one can doubt upon which side of this issue the
people of Washington will be found, when they
come to realize that It 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.
II is not our design, however, to make the
National Republican mere political paper We
intend, that as q 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-
livered to city subscribers at six cents per week.
Mail subscribers, $3.50 a year, payable in ad-
vance.
The publication Office is at the corner Of Indi-
ana avenue and Second street.

DOUGLAS AND JOHNSON PLATFORM.

Resolved, That we, the Democracy of the
Union, in Convention assembled, hereby de.
clare our atiirmance of the resolutions unani.
mously adopted and declared as platform of
principles by the Democratic Convention at
Cincinnati, in the year 1856, believing that
Democratic principles are uncbangeable 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 a 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 o railroad to the Pacific coast at the
earliest practicable period.
ResolUed, 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.
RESOLVED, 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.
Resolued, 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 Cow
