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,
Resolved, 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 untedly, 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.established, 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., 1861-01-26
Prousstus Of th. national Republican.


Believing that the time has arrived when the
great 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 "NArIoNAL REPUBLICAN"
In its political department, this journal will
advocate and defend the principles OF the Repub-
llcan party, and endeavor TO disabuse the public
MAD Of groundless prejudices which have been
eugendered against IT, by the false accusations
OF Ito 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 Ave more at stake than the people
Of any other portion of our common country. We
believe that to support Mr.. Lincoln's administra-
tion will be synonymous with maintaining the in
tegrity Of the Federal Union, against the machin-
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 II 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-
iy.
II is not our design, however, to make the
National Republican mere political paper. We
intend, that as a medium of general and local
news, it 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-
llvered 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.

DOUGLAS AND JOHNSON PLATFORM.

Resolred, That we, the Democracy of the
Union, in Convention assembled, hereby de.
clare our afiirmance 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 unchangeable in
their nature, when applied to the same subject
matter; and we recommend as the only further
resolutions the following:
Resolred, 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.
ResOlred, That one of the necessities of the
age, in 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 a railroad to the Pacific coast at the
earliest practicable period.
ResOiued, 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.
Resolred, That the enactment of State Leg
islatures to defeat the faithful execution of the
fugitive slave law are hostile in character, sub.
versiye of the Constitution, and revolutionary
in their effect.
Resolred, That in accordance with the in.
terpretation of the Cincinnati platform, that
during the existence of the TERRITORIAL Govern,
ments, the measure of restriction, whatever i,
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
ernment

The Huddersfed England Examiner tells q
good story and vouehes for It's truth. Two
men near that town, in the employ Of a
railway company, fond Of female society, paid
court to young women servants in . gentle
mans family. As matter of course they
were made welcome, and RECALLED with It'd bits
from the cupboard. At each visit the supper
tray, after it had left the masters table, was
placed before them, and they generally did am
pie justice to it BY some means it oozed out
that these ardent lovers were both married men.
and it got to the ears Of their ladyloves. The lat
ribution for the imposition practiced upon them,
obtained two young cats, which they made into
nice looking pie. On tho night Of the next
visit from their unsuspecting admirers, piece
Of the pie was cut out, as though it had come
from the supper table, and the two sat down
with keen relish. and satisfied the cravings of
their hunger. When they had finished their
repast they were asked how they enjoyed their
supper First rate" said one; Capital" said
the other "Then go home, was the reply land
tell your wives that you have had your supper
Of cat pic" To convince them of the reality Of
the trick that had been played upon them, one
or two of the paws Of the deceased felines were
produced and exhibited. As the despicable
husbands made their ignominious exit, thry
were met by number of young men who had
been let into the secret, with such mewing as
fairly to put them to fight. News of the affair
co. abaoad and whenever the two men showed
their faces they were met with ccaseless cries of
''mew, new, new" and they were compelled to
leave the place.

4 good way TO sea or. ora Dinlcui,y

Ina thriving town not thousand miles away.
a volunteer company was recently formed.
They met to elect officers, whcirit soon became
manifest that a large portion Of the members
were Gspirants to all the posts of honor.
\ sensible individual made a suggestion that
Ill who de- ired to become officers should retire
during the halloting, when to the general aston
Shmcnt it was found that there were only three
left to conduct the election The three gentle.
men, however, determined to do their duty and
proceeded at once with the business.
After a little time elapsed the outside party
was called in and informed that the meeting had
great difficulty in making choice a. the claims
Of all those who Ind retired were 50 conspcu-
Gus. They had concluded. therefore, that the
only way 70 escape the difficulty and give gen
cral satisfaction, would be to elect Themselves TO
the three principal cfiices and they had acccr-
dinghy done 50. The company acquiesced in
this wise decision - Charleston Courier.
