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.
tend, separately and unitedly, these great prin.
ciples Of public liberty and national safety
against all enemies, at home and abroad, be-
ieving 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, Saternity, 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., 1861-01-19
prospsctu, Of the National Reuublican,

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-
lcan 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 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 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 lie 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 q cordial sup
port, we shall have the sympathy of an immense
majority Of the people of this District and vicn-
ity.
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, II 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 it:
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 year, payable in ad
vance.
The publication Office is at the corner of Ind
ana avenue and Second street.

DOUGLAS AND JOHNSON PLATFORM.

Resolved, That we, the Democracy of the
Union, in Convention assembled, hereby de.
clare our alfirmance of the resolutions unani
mously adopted and declared as platform of
principles by the Democratic Convention at
Cincinnati, in the year 1855, 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: y
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.
Resolued, 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-
ton of 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.
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
Resolped, 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 II
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,

Wright US. The City OF Cincinnati. The re-
lator asks that the City Auditor be compelled
to pay him his salary, as Health Officer, aud
the City Council be compelled to restore him
to his office. Last Spring the City Council
created the Board of Health, and the course
of the summer repealed the ordinance.
The relator claims they could not do so
without expressive Legislative authority,
and that they can not di7est him of his
salary by an arbitrary abolishment of the
office.
The Court, by Judge Mallon, held that the
power that created the Board of Health had
right to abolish it,; that the relator would
have no right to his salary, except by virtue
of having earned ii, and that he took the
appointment subject to the right of the City
Council, If they saw fit to pass an ordinance
dispOsiug of the Office and the officer as they
had done.

THE TRADE OF TPHILADELPHIA.--The South
ern commerce from the port of Philadelphia
has undergone singular changes since the
rebellion occurred. Four heavy steamers
running South have been sold to Govern
ment, one of them being now aflost after the
Sumter. Twenty sailing vessels were for
merly running to Charleston, but none now.
The Government has three of them, and the
rest are carrying grain to Europe. Other
packet lines to Texas Mobile and New Or
leans are broken up-some gone into the
public service, some otherwise employed and
some idle. OF the whole marine, twenty
seven vessels have either been purchased or
are now employed by Government, most of
which are steamers. But the lines running
to Northern ports continue as active as ever,
that to Albany and Troy running nine steam
ers and barges. Great quantities of coal are
being shipped for Government, said to be for
use of the naval expedition soon to sail The
stsRnation in the shipping interest which it
was feared the war would produce has been
prevented by the Government demand for
vessels, and the coasting trade has dimin-
ished very little.
