We who witnessed from the decks Of tho transports
that terrific fire that searched the cover of the woods
with bursting shells, and with fearfully wedirected
aim, poured its iron hail down on Fort Walker could
very well think so--how much more must the rebels
subjected to that fire have thought the day OF their
doom was come if they stad longer. A black fellow
was reported to our colonel on the morning OF the

very communicative. "Massa,' he inquired, " Ii

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 unitedly, these great prin.
ciples Of public liberty and national safety
against all enemies, at home apd 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.established, and the
Government again placed in that condition of
justice, fraternity, aud 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 common defence, promote the gem,
eral welfare, and secure the blessings of Lber.
ty to ourselves and our posterity.

pr.sns.su. af tae a.t,snss Rspub,iean.

Reiieving that the time has arrived when the
great Republicap 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 supplyng the citizens Of the District
of Columbia with > daily publication, under the
title OF the "NArroSAL REpuBLrcAN."
In It's political department, this journal will
advocate and defend the principles OF the Repub-
licsn party, and endeavor to dsabuse the public
mind Of groundless 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 IL 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 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.. Lncoln's administra-
tion will be synonymous with maintaining the in-
tegrity Of the Federal Union, against the machin-
atoms Of those who would rend it 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.
il is not our design, however, 10 make the
National Republican mere political paper. We
intend, that as a medium Of general and local
news 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.

DOUGLAS AND JOHNSON PLATFORM

Resolued, That we, the Democracy of the
Union, in Convention assembled, hereby de.
clare our affirmance 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 Interchangeable in
their nature, when applied to the same subj ect
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.
ReSoired, 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-
ton of railroad to the Pacific coast at the
earliest practicable period.
ResOired, 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.
Resolred, 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 Gov
