WAsHINaToN, April 7.-It is "a mis-
take to suppose chat recent events in
Dominica have excited any peculiar in
terest on the part of the Administration.
Nothing is autl eutically known here be-
yond the fact that the Spanish subjects
on the island sent to the Captain General
Of Cuba for assistance, and that tho two
or three hundred troops dispatched by him
were under orders not to land unless by
request of the authorities.
There is, however, some anxiety to
learn what SPAN will now do in the prem
ises. That she was privy to tbs revoIu-
lionary moven ent is a mere conjecture,
as i, is said that even in diplomatic. cir.
ces Il ere Is no information on which to
base such conclusions. .. t.r.
The troops in the neighborhood OF
Fort Pickens, on board United States
vessels, are considered sufficient in num-
Der to reinforce that fort il this design has
not already been consummated. D..
Proposals for Treasury notes 10 the
amount of nearly five millions dollars ara
to be received by The Secretary of Treas
ury until Thursday morning at ten o.
clock Offers have been privately made
of an 1 per cent, premium for the entire
sum, but it is deemed proper to afford
fair opportunity Tor competition. 1900

There is no doub,but the Admiuistra-

who reports to-day. that he informed
Governor Pickens that ifthe South Caro-
lima authorities persisted in refusing Ma
jor Anderson supplies they viii be sent
him in national Vessel, which will be
backed by strong feet; and if resisted
in a peaceable attempt to land supplies,
the Secessionists must take the conse-
quences. The refusal of South Carolina
to afford Major Anderson supplies has
changed the policy of the Administration
materially. A dispatch to the Southern
Commissioners states that neither Pickens
nor Davis will accede to the demand o.
this Government that Anderson shall
have supplies from Charleston. and the5
prefer to fight it out instead. In l~s'

1t is persistently stated iii Adniinistra-
ton quarters that the recent preparations
are for defensive purposes, and nothing is
intended no. strictly justified by the laws,
and which tits the duty OF the President
to enforce to the extent Of his ability
If resistance he made, and Flood shed,
the responsibility must fall on those who
provoke hostilities. The assurance Of the
! Inaugural is repeated, that the Admins
tratiou will not be the agstessor.
Various theories or reasons arc given
in newspapers for the present military
demonstrations; among which is one that
tLey are stimulated by the result Of Ger.
tain late elections; but this is an error, as
at the commencement of the Administra.
ton the President and Cabinet entertain
ed the idea of re enforcing both Forts
Sumter and Pickens; but owing to non
acquaintance with The means al the com
mand of the Government, and the condi
ton of the country, the prosecution o
the plans now progressing was impract

to ascertain the extent Of the effects be

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,
Resolced, 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-
tend, separately and unitedly, these great prin-
ciples of public liberty and national safety
against all enemies, at home and abroad, be-
lieving thereby peace may once more be re-
stored to the country, the just rights of the
people and of the States re-estabshed, 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 estab-
lish justice, insure domestic tranquility, pro.
vide for the commoRdetence, promote the gem
eral welfare, and secure the blessings of liber
ty to ourselves and our posterity.

pro.p.ctu, Of the National Republican.

Relievinp that the time has arrived when the
sreat 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 daily publication, under the
title Of the "NArrosAL 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 II a cordial, but not a servile support. In
the great issue that s'likey to be made with his
administration, by the enemies Of the Republican
party, the people of Washington ami 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-
ton will be synony nous with maintaining the in
tegrity Of the Federal Union, against the macbin-
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 it 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 a mere political paper We
intend, that as a medium of general and local
news, II 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 it
inhabitants.
We deem it unnecessary, however, to multi
ply promises, as the paper will. Immediately max
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 ad
vance.
The publication office is at the corner of Indi
ana avenue and Second street.
