'rospectus of tho 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 Rcpub-
lcan party, and endeavor to dsabuse the public
mind OF groundless prejudices which have been
cngendered against It, by the false accusations
Of Its enemies. Having the utmost confidence
that the administration Of Mr. Lincoln will be
such IS TO merit our appreciation, we expect to
yield II . 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 and 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 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 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 vicin-
ity.
IL NOT our uesign, however, TO make the
National Republican mere political paper. We
intend, that as 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-
ivered 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 Ind-
ana avenue and Second street.

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,
Resolccd, 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. e.establshed, and the
Government again placed in that condition of
justice, fraternity, and equality, which, under
the example and Constitution of our fathers,
fl has solemnly bound every citizen of the United
States to maintain more perfect union, estab.
llsh justice, insure domestic tranquility, pro.
VIDE Tor the common defence, promote the gen.
eral welfare, and secure the blessings of lber.
ty to ourselves and our posterity.

DOUGLAS AND JOHNSON PLATFORM

Resolved, That we, the Democracy of the
Union, in Convention assembled, hereby de
clare our aflirmance of the resolutions unan
mously adopted and declared as a platform oil
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:
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.
Resolved, 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
oil government aid as will insure the construc-
ton of railroad to the Pacific coast at the
earliest practicable period.
ResOlDed, 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
versive of the Constitution, and revolutionary
in their effect.
ReSolced, That in accordance with the in
t,erpre,ation 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
me same has been, or shall hereafter be, finally
determined by the Supreme Court of the Uni.

fidelity by every branch of the General Gov.

story OF her colored houseinaid,) Of visiting
some Of her nc;ghbors: but not returning
at dark, inquiry was instituted, and it was
ascertained that she had not visited any Of
them. Speaking of the search, cores
pondent Of the Alexandria Gazette says
On approaching the neat-house, groans
were heard emanating therefrom, and as
the key could not be found, attempts to
break down the door were begun; but whIlo
these were in progress, the key was found
in the dwelling house, the door opened, and
lie lady, III complete state of nudity, was
found sitting on tue floor, with her hands
covering her face, and perfectly unconscious.
Some OF her clothing was hanging from the
meat hooks in the rafteYs and some was
strewed about the floor. A sailing tray
was almost filed with blood, apparently
freshly spilled. Marks resembling those
made by the pressure Of fingers were upon
her arms, and her hands. neck and sides

to be a blunt-pointed, puneturing instru-

tunate lady that science and skill could sug-
