Tue SLANG or THE REPUBLICANs.-The
New York Express, a jealous but not in
tolerant war journal, thus responds to the
low scurrility Of the Republican press,
which assails the great and patriotic DE-.
mOcracy, with coarse epithets and false
charges. The very men the organs Of the
Administration have been and are abusing,
arc rallying under the Stars and Stripes.
Il Il had depended upon its own partiSans

A LETTER FROM MAJoR ANDERsoY.-We
have been furnished by gentleman in this city
with the following letter from the commander
Of the United States forces at Charleston. As
anything from that quarter is of interest, we
lay it before our readers.-Erchange.
Fort MouLTRIE, s. c., Dec. 25, 1860.
--, Esq, baltimore:
DEAR SIR: thank you for the trouble you
were kind enough to take in correcting some of
the rumors about me. You are right in the
opinion that could not and would not say
anything contradictory Of them. Ny plan always
has been to try to do my duty honestly and
fully, and to trust that in the good sense of JUS
tice of the people, they would give me credit
for good intentions, even il my judgment should
turn out TO have not been good.
must confess that regret that the papers
are making so much of my position here. do
not deserve the least credit for what am doing
nothing more than any one else would do in my
position-and, perhaps, not done half so well
a. many others would do. l receive, nearly by
every mail, letters Of sympathy, and many OF
them from strangers.
hope that it will not be long before some
thing will occur to give me chance Of being
relieved from my present position.
Thanking you for your kind remembrance Of
me, an yours, truly,
ROBERT ANDERSON.

Prospectus 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 REruBLIoAN."
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
engendered against 1t, 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 it a cordial, but not q 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 an 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 administra-
ton will be synonymous with maintaining the in
tegrity of the Federal Union, against the macbin-
ations of those who would rend it asunder. No
one can doubt upon which side of this issue the
people of Washington will lie 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.
It 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-
livered 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.

MULTIPLICATION REMINIsCENCE.-During the
notification controversy at Charleston, in 1882
it is well known that Gen. Scott was present,
in command Of the troops in Fort Moultrie.
At one Of the excited meetings in the caucus,
Gov. James Hamilton declared that he had re.
solved to put the purpose Of the Government
in the matter Of duties to the test-tbat some
sugar would arrive which would be the occa.
sion of this test, and that "he pould go the
death for the sugar." Good watch was kept.
The vessel with the twelve boxes Of sugar came
in. She was sgnalled, and not heaving to, a
shot was fred from the fort before her bow.
She came to! The sugar was taken out and
landed in the fort, where it remained until the
controversy was at an end when it was de.
large fire broke out in Charleston, which was
espied by Gen. Scott while he was standing on
the rampant. He instantly ordered a body of
three hundred soldiers to the relief Of the
burning town. They hastened to the scene Of
the conflagration, and as they were advancing,
a person rushed up in great alarm, and begged
them to save his sugar house. "Come on,
boys" cried out Capt. Ringgold, :" save the
building-go the death for the sugar" The
building was saved - the fire extinguished.
Such are the men whom the excited people Of
Charleston may be stimulated to attack. Let
them recall this incident, and, above all, let
them remember the old hero (Scott) now med.
itating for the peace and honor Of the country,
the support of the laws and the Constitution,
as humane to the suffering as he is faithful to
the interests and warm to the feelings Of the
whole people of these United States, North
and South, East and West

DOUGLAS AND JOHNSON PLATFORM.

Resolved, That we, the Democracy of the
Union, in Convention assembled, hereby de.
clare our atiirmance 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.
ReSolved, 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 us will insure the construc
ton of a railroad to the Pacific coast at the
earliest practicable period.
Resolued, 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.
Resolced, 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
ernment.

Coon Hr.-In one of the Hon. Mr.. Vinton's
speeches in New York, that gentleman said the
threat of secession reminded him of the man in
Buffalo, who attached his old scow to the stern
of lake steamer to be towed up the lake. After
the boat had got under headway, the wheels of
the steamer threw water into the old scow, and
she was in danger of sinking The owner cried
out to the captain of the steamer, Hold on
there, if you don't stop throwing water into my
craft, III make you" Well" says the captain,
"what will you do?" 3d. shouted the en-.
ragged man, TA cut tie rope here, and let your

WASHINGTON DIsPATCHEs.-Tdnity Fair thus
hits off the dispatches which come upon US SO
thick and fast from the national capital:
WASHINGTON, Dec. -.
Unless something happens Immediately, it
will be sometime before anything occurs. The
tone of the South is not very favorable to abo-
litionism, and, if South Carolina successfully
secedes, nothing can prevent her going out Of
the Union. Trouble in the Cabinet was re-
ported last night, but, unless supported by
facts, the rumor can have little foundation.
The excitement here, in political circles, is not
SO great as it was before it began to subside,
but is still greater than before it reached its
present height"

l. PANY OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
offers to the Property Owners of the District the
cheapest and as safe means of Insurance against
Loss by Fire, as any other Company, as will ap-
dear by an examination of its principles.
The fact that all Of the Insurance Companies

"The ideal of South Cardinals perfect inde-
pendence is now free trade and direct taxation,
and to secure these she has repealed the ordi-
nauce of her Convention Of 1883, adopting and
ratifying the Federal Constitution. To show
her Inconsistency, that very Convention passed
the following resolution
"Resolped, That the General Government of
the United States ought never to impose direct
taxes, but where the money arising from duties,
imports, and excise, are insufficient for the pub
