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 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 reestablished, 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 common defence, promote the gen.
eral welfare, and secure the blessings of liber-
ty to ourselves and our posterity.
The national Republican., 1861-01-29
pro,oeotu. 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 " 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 groundless prejudices which have been
cngendered against 1t, by the false accusations
Of It's enemies. Having the utmost confidence
that the administration of Mr. Lincoln will be
such as to merit our APPRECIATION we expect to
yield it 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.. Lincoln's admnstra-
tion will be synonymous with maintaining the in
tegrity Of the Federal Union, against the machin-
ations of those who would rend 1t asunder. No
one can doubt upon which side of this issue the
people Of Washington will he found, when they
come TO realize that 1t 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 viciu
ity.
1t is not our design, however, to make the
National Republican 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 shsl! 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 viii. 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.

oUGLAs AND JOHNSON PLATFORM.

ReSolred, That we, the Democracy of the
uion, in Convention assembled, hereby de-
are our affirmance of the resolutions unani
ously adopted and declared as platform Of
inciples by the Democratic Convention at
ncnnati, in the year 1856, believing that
emocratic principles are Interchangeable in
cir nature, when applied to the same subject
after; and we recommend as the only further
solutions the following:
Resolred, That it is the duty Of the United
ates to afford ample and complete protection
all its citizens, whether at home or abroad,
ID whether native or foreign.
RESOLVED, That one Of the necessities of the
re, in a military, commercial, and postal
lint of view, is speedy communication be-
cen the Atlantic and Pacific States and
e Democratic party pledge such constitution
government aid as will insure the construc-
IN of a railroad to the Pacific coast at the
rliest practicable period
ResOlUed That the Democratic party are in
vor of the acquisition of the island of Cuba,
| such terms as shall be honorable TO our.
Ives and Just to Spain.
ResOlred, That the enactment of State Leg
Iatures to defeat the faithful execution of the
gitive slave law are hostile in character, sub.
rsive of the Constitution, and revolutionary
their effect.
Resolred, That in accordance with the in
rpretation of the Cincinnati platform, that
ring the existence of the Territorial Govern,
ents, the measure of restriction, whatever ii
ay be, imposed by the Federal Constitution
the power of the Territorial Legislature
'er the subject of the domestic relations, as
same has been, or shall hereafter be, finally
termined by the Supreme Court of the Uni
d States, should be respected by all good
Cizens, and enforced with promptness and

DilIerent views are Entertained.


A very serious question arises now
in the minds OF the people, regarding
the contemplated expedition OF the
federals in the direction Of New Or
leans. Itis argued by some that the
city referred to is not the intended des-
tinatioa of this much alluded to large
force Of the enemy, that on the con-
trary, the eanger lies along the coast
ofTexas. This riew, in our opinion,
is pretty correct. 1t looms up in our
imagination in colors anything but
flattering. Galveston. though report
ed as being well fortified, is far from
being so, admitting, however,, that
that city is we'll prepared to defend
herself, what does it amount to =
Nothing. 1t is not to be supposed
that Galveston could prevent an in
vaaion of Texas, tor we look upon
such an effort as very easily accom-
plished, in fact there is no possibility
of averting their landing on the coast
of Texas, for it is wholly unprotected
