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, - ~
Resolped, 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-
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. 'E,- la

Believing that tho time has arrived when the
great Republican party Of the United States ought
to be fairly represented in the daily prees of the
National Metropolis, We have embarked 10 the
enterprise Of supplying the citizens Of the District
Of Columbia with daily publication, under the
title Of the "NArIoSAL REPusLIcAS."
In lis political department, this journal will
advocate and defend the principles OF the Repub-
lican party, and endeavor TO disabuss the public
mind Of groundless prejudices which have been
engendered against It, by the false accusations
Of It's enemies. Having the utmost confidence
that the administration Of Mr.. Lincoln will be
such as 10 merit our appreciation, We expect to
yield II cordial, but not ssrvile support. In
the great issue that 10 likely 10 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 70 support Mr.. Lincoln's administra-
tiolDill be synonymo with maintaining the in
tegfity 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 te 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
ity.
It Is not our design, however, to mako the
NATIONAL Republican mere political paper. We
intend, that 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 % 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 1t 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 q year, payable In ad-
vance.

DOUGLAS AND JOHNSON PLATFORM.

Resolved, 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 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.
Resolped, That one Of the necessities ofIthe
age, in q military, commercial, and postal
point of view, is speedy communication be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific States; and

ton of q railroad to the Pacific coast at the
earliest practicable period.
Resolved, 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.
Resolpsd, 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.
