PROSPECTUS
For publishing at Washington a newspaper,
h to be called
re "THE UNION."
h v
TO THE PUBLIC.
d
I, Having purchased from Messrs. Blair and Rives
l- the whole establishment of the "Globe," we propose
publishing at Washington a paper, to be styled
" "THE UNION."
f> We approach the task before us with a deep ser.se
>, of the respon hility which we are about to assume,
Ij. and not without much diffidence of our qualifica,
tions. We have some acquaintance, indeed, with
e the duties of an editor of a newspaper, but it wus
n acquired upon other theatres, much more limited
* and less conspicuous than the metropolis of our cony
federated and wide-spread republic,
e We can scarcely be charged with any inordinate
r vanity in saying that upon the success of our instttutions
depends, in a great degree, the destiny of
r the oldest countries of Europe. A distant posterity
e has a deep interest in our fate. The blessings of
,f liberty are essential to the prosperity of the whole
numcui race; and where are (hey spread out on so
large a field of action, or illustrated by *o many
brilliant examples, as in these United States?
We have only to realize them in our own history,
_ and in the happiness of our people, to spread the 1
, nume of liberty over the Eastern World. We
have only to perpetuate these blessings by preserv- 1
ing the sacred Union of our States, and there is no '
' assignable limit to the prosperity which we may ]
- enjoy, or the glories to wnich we may ascend in the I
- scale of nations. We have already wrought mira- I
- cles enough to astonish the foreign tourist amid all 1
, his prejudices, and to attract the curiosity, if not the 1
i admiration, of . Europe. We have displayed the <
- benefits of Liberty and of Union in a series of '
- phenomena, which are almost calculated to surprise 1
I ourselves. What can be more remarkable, even in '
t the present day, than the spirit of enterprise and im
provement which pervades our States ; the schools 1
- which they are erecting; the canals which they have 1
' executed; the more than 4.000 miles of rail whv which i
9 they have constructed in less than twenty years; the 1
t immense bodies of land which they have redeemed I
from the wilderness; the towns which they have <
strewn over the West; the multiplication of our peo- '
" pie from three to twenty millions of souls; the aug- <
mentation of the number of our States from thirteen 1
! to twenty-nine, including the three new States of '
Florida, Iowa, and Texas, which, as-we write, we )
" hope are now probably starting into existence? 1
"Westward the course of empire takes its way; ,
The (our first acts already past,
1 A fifth shajlrlose the drama with the day, 9
Time's noblest ofl'spriug is the last." I
' It is principally the influence of the free institu\
tions we possess, and which were never dreamed of ^
more than a hundred years by the philosophic au- ,
, thor of these beautiful lines, that has wrought so
, many achievements here. Liberty excites man to r
think for himself, to cast off antiquated prejudices, c
and to start in a new career of improvement. It B,
opens, besides, in this new country, as it were, u
, new asylum to the oppressed of all nations, which,
in despite of the "Native American" prejudices of
, the day, still continues to invite other people to cut- v
r tivate our lands, and contribute to our progress. It 8
. is our free institutions, more than any other cause, a
I which are drawing "the course of empire" to the 8
Western World.
' We live, too, in an extraordinary age. Improvement
seems to be the order of the day. Science is P
>hooting forth in all directions. Art is obtaining ['
the most brilliant triumphs over Nature. The age ,
ts uavancing with the impetuosity of steam, to which
it is so muui indebted for its progress. Commerce
is expanding her wings under the impulse of a new "
and stronger principle. There seems, indeed, to be 8
' no limit to the progress of discovery; and it is in f
the midst of such an age, and at the metropolis of I'
this great country, that we are about to erect our ''
tent, for the responsible purpose of maintaining the !
1 true principles of our institutions. We almost .
shrink back from the enterprise we have underta- !'
ken. But we at least bring to the task a spirit that {!
1 is devoted to Liberty, to Union, and to our Country;
a heart that is proud of the name of Amkrican;
some little experience in our business; n zeal
that nothing can subdue, and an industry that fears
. no labor. With these feelings, we come to throw ?
ourselves upon the liberality of our countrymen.
We trust that we shall receive, if we deserve, their c'
support. If we fail in an enterprise which might P1
1 almost appal the stoutest spirit, they will at least be
liberal enough to ascribe it to the want of power, ^
and not of will?to the head that guides us, and not
to the heart that impels us. e.
Of one thing we may confidently assure the publie?we
approach the tusk with the deepest reverence
for the true theory of our political institutions, tr
Our confederated republic is making a new and a
bold experiment in the science of government. r<
When we look to the original form of the conslitu- b
tion, we are indeed struck with its novelty and beau- '
ty. We see in it nn attempt to ascertain how far 8
I ower can be so distributer! between two oovern- a
niENTs us to prevent an excessive concentration, and a
consequent abuse of it, in the federal arm; at the p
same time that so much power was conveyed to each, 1
as to enable them to accomplish the objects to which t
each of them was best adapted. p
The peoeral government was principally to watch lr
over our foreign relations; that of the States was
particularly 10 taKc core 01 our internal concerns. n<
The federal government should have adequate t!
powers to maintain the peace and the rights of the V
Union abroad; but at home, its office is to aosist in ei
binding the Union together, by the benefits which it
it showers around it, within certain prescribed lim- h
its?leaving the great mass of local matters to the st
jurisdiction of tne States, which can better under- le
stand and more,properly regulate them. Keeping w
thin general distinction in view, the constitution has pi
marked down the limits of the federal power, and it at
should be the duly of its authorities religiously to ir
preserve them. Dissolution on the one hand, and
consolidation on the other, being the extremes which
are to be carefully avoided, the constitution was so
. framed, and the government should be so adminis- rr]
tered, as, whilst the federal power exercises its legilintate
functions, it should sacredly respect the ()|
niouts of the States and the rights of the people. c>
The federal government must, therefore, ever re- w
member, that it has only certain limited powers, ^
which are either specified in the constitution itself, e(
or which may be "necessary and proper" for carry- m
ing out the specified powers. It cannot pass these ff
limits with impunity. It cannot interpolate any ^
powers by a forced or factitious construction, with- m
out producing some opposition from the parties to w
the compact, or some remonstrance from tne people.
It would never do, inueed, to give an unlimited ev
power to the federal head, over tne local interests
of the several parts. Our country covers an exten- fJ)
aive empire. It embraces a great variety of climates ^
and soils, of occupations antlof interests. The ob- y
vious danger of too much federal legislation is, of tj(
course, that it may affect these different interests in ce
a very unequal degree. Whilst it seeks to adminis- ni
?? uwiwmo iu wnc ncuiyiij.ii limy niipuBe uurucua .
upon another. Nor does the miachicf terminate l(,
here. Inequality produces complaint. The suffering
States become dissatisfied. One section not only
murmurs at>oul the partiality shown to another, but
against the government which commits it. The '
Union itself is less respected, because of the injustice *
which it displays. The only way of preventing
these injuries and theae complaints is, to administer
the government within the limitations of the instru- rei
mcnt, and in a spirit which is calculated to equalize, ""
as far as possible, its benefits and its burdens lhl
amongst the whole Union. In no other way can P"
we prevent the federal government from rushing n"
into schemes of consolidation, or the States into a
tendency towards dissolution. If we permit the 081
federal government systematically to adopt any an
rule of construction, which may enlarge its powers ln'
at the expense of the States, or of the people?if P*
Congress may adopt any measure which they may 1
fancy to be "necessary and proper," then power ly
may be so augmented as, in the progress of time, to ou
amount to consolidation. Then, we must extend the
the executive department to carry out these extend- #ri
ed powers; then, as one of the celebrated resolutions enl
of one of the first Slates in the Union showed in 1>9, pel
we should gradually merge into a limited monarchy, au
flushed with power and fortified by patronage; or, ing
we must fly to the other fatal alternative?we must eoi
dissolve the Union itself to recover our liberties; that go'
Union, which has been consecrated by the blood of din
our forefathers; that Union, which ia so necessary to of
preserve our tranquillity at home and our peace oui
abroad; that Union, which ought to be as dear to to I
us as "the niddy drops which warm our hearts." era
ln a word, the government must be administered i
according to the good old JierrEiuovuN atan
In thia reaped we are happy to know, that we
but carry out the delilierute wishea of the pr
Preaideut of the United Suites. The lime once
when a very different rule prevailed, and whe
lalitudinoua conatructiouists of the federal s<
stood at the helm of affairs. A powerful Nati
Bank had triumphed over the Constitution
threatened our very liberties. A gigantic syau
Internal Improvements was projected by the
eral government. An unequal and- oppre
Tariff of dutiea was established. What limi
deed, wua there to lie to the encroachments uni
ceases of the government, if these principles prt
ed in its administration? But thanks to theaup
genius and the "iron will" of Andrew Jackson
came to redeem, by his vetoes, die constitution
violation, and the country from abuse. He a
gled the Moniter Bank. He set limits to the
schemes of Internal improvement, and he ina
on bringing back the Tariff System to its legili
Revenue uses.
But the federal party was not yst exiinguit
Their extraordinary efforts in 1840 to defeat
able statesman, Martin Van Buren, aided aa
were bv the vilest devices, and hw the >m>u>i a
of the money power, contributed, willt the sinj
condition of the country, to pluce them again a
head of the government. It is not necessary fo
to recapitulate the struggles which have since
sued, to describe the indomitable up it of our frit
or their final glorious triumph to the eleetioi
James K. Polk. Another era is then opened t?
His administration has just commenced. He c<
to carry out the principles of the RurcaucAN 1
IV, and the pledges to that end under which he
elected. He takes the Jefkchsoman Est fo
standard, and we, loo, corse forward to suppor
principles of the Republican Faith, and to giv
(lis administration a fair, lilieral, and efficient
port. We will oppose a ialitudinous constructit

forma?an extravagant and unconstitutional syi
jf National Internal Improvements?an insid
Distribution of the Proceeds of the Public, Lan

runt Law us disgraced the statute book in 18412.
We shall contend against an unju I and une

itandard. This rate should be moderate in it
ind sufficient to raise adequate means, along '
he proceeds of the public lands, to meet the
>enscs of the government economically adminii

sxperience and the wants of the treusury?"a

luties, honestly levied for the purpose of raising
lecessary funds to defray the economical expel
>f the government; and to be levied in such mar
a to equalize, as far as practicable, the public I
ens upon a!i classes ana sections.
We shall deem it our solemn duty to res]
hose essential compromises in the constitui
rhich secured its adoption. These were "the
ult of a spirit of amity, and of that mutual deferc
nd concession which ihe peculiarity of our polit
ituation rendered indispensable." They dire<
ondemned the rash and meddlesome disposition
lie part of the abolitionists to interfere with
eculiar institutions of one portion of the confedi
y, which is strongly calculated to distract our p
c councils, and to create some alarm about
Inion itself.
We pledge ourselves likewise to sustain the
linistration in the efforts which will be made
ecure to the United States the undisturbed jposi
ion of Oregon. However much the late Eng
lurnals may have pretended to depreciate?howt
lly they may have ridiculed our right to the co
y?we entertain no doubt about the just title
be American government. We fasA assured tf
i the settlement of this momentous question, m
ig will be omitted by the President of the Un
tales which may be demanded by a proper S[
f conciliation, and a due regard to the rights i
onor of our country.
But other subjects now call upon our attent.
nu ai mis lime transcending all others, is the qi
on of annexation of Texas. It is scarcely
cesary for ua to pledge all our efforts to the f
onsummation of that great question. None h
een more zealously devoted than ourselves to
dmission of the lone star into our constellali
hottld any difficulties occur on the part of her g
rninent, or of the whius of the United States,
hall spare no exertions to remove them.
These important questions once adjusted, and
irifT system brought to the proper revenue po
it may then expect more tranquillity in our ps
slations?but peace, never. The danger can lie
e over, so long as we have a party to contend u
ke the federal whigs?a party which is actuated
uch false principles, which is so strong in itself,
bly organized, so closely cemented together, so k
trously attached to its leaders, and so fatally
elled by its excited passions, and its mortified pr
'hey are even now preparing to attack the admii
ration, to misrepresent its measures, abuse its
ointments, and pull down the republican par
i order thut they may rise upon its ruins.
For ourselves, we are prepared to resist th
ow, and hereafter, as vigorously as the editor
us paper has done for more than forty yei
Vith such an opposition wc must expect a const
counter,?ana we go 10 Washington with a tie
lined spirit to resist them?to expose ti
eteredox principles?to clear away misrei
iniations, and to baffle the election of tl
aders. We shall attempt to discharge this du
c hope, under a due sense of the dignity of
mus. We shall be willing to cope with our adt
tries, not in pcrsonul abuse, but with fair nrgum
i the open held.
For the purpose of resisting so formidable an
asition, we shall spare no honorable effort to ki
iir own party united. We hold that this gove
ient belongs to the rrnri.e of the States?thai
their power to give and to take away the high
fices of the repcbi.ic?and that every man, no
rer distinguished by ability or services, shot
tlmly wait until it shall please the people to <
im into their service. Such was the course pur
I by our party at the last election. Such was I
anner in which James K. Polk has been cat
nm his retirement, and such is the example whi
e people will hereafter imitate, if the present t
inistration shall be crowned with the benel
hich every good man wishes* and which eve
>ncst patriot will attempt to atffbtnplish. In a
'ent, we will seek to make this moral lesson effe
e; and, for this purpose, we go to Washington
.rry out the pledge under which Mr. Polk li
en elected, and to keep our party uniti
fe go, of course, with the firm determii
m to avoid all prematura contests for the si
ssion. Pledged to no candidate, committed
i clique, prejudiced against no portion of our pi
, anxious to extend the right hand of fellowsh
every section, and to every honest republican, i
> to our post of duty, not to disturb, but to unite
it to offend, but to conciliate; yet, in every case,
ncharge our duty, taking for our beit guides t
inciplea of the constitution, and the interests
ir country.
Mr. Polk has publicly declared his intention
main in office for four years only. He is no dou
xioits to testify his gratitude to his country f
e signal honor which she has paid to his pure I
blican principles, his distinguished integrity ai
ilily, by zealously devoting himself to her ai
*. He is anxious to do all the good which I
n accomplish in the course of his administrate
d we are desirous of co-operating with him, wi
trior means, and an humbler sphere, in the ear

The "UNION" will not, however, be exclusiv

iture and science, and, in fine, all auch matters i
ler into the miscellaneous contents of a newsp

Persons who may wish to Airnish hemp perfectly
free from tow, and ready for spinning, ean forward
separate proposals for such hemp; which hemp, if
the proposals should be accepted, must, like the other,
be subject to inspection and approval at said
navy-yard before it will be received.
Persona making offers must state the price asked
per ton of 9,940 pounds, delivered %t said navyyard,
nnd must forward with them an obligation
from two persons of sufficient property to become
sureties for the fulfilment of the contract to be entered

To diminish the hazard to contractors of fcrwardiugbsmp
from the western States, which may not
be of proper quality, or sufficiently well prepared,
the Secretary of the Navy hae appointed two agents,
who will, whan requested, inspect hemp that may
be prepared and intended to fulfil contracts to b* mad*

inspect the hemp that may be sent to Louisville,
Kentucky, and the other it.. ?tm. ?? ?

furnished with samples of the Riga Rein hemp, excepting
for hemp fully prepared for spinning, end
with the meant of testing the strength of hemp, and
will be reedy to five all information in their power,
to enable contractors to have their hemp properly
prepared, and to ascertain the strength and character
of it, before the expense of sending it te the navy-yard
is incurred, it must be distinctly nadir
stood, however, thai the inspection and apfolnts of
these agents is merely to diminish the rieS to com
tractors, by furnishing useful information. Tha an1
ly inspection by which the hemp can ba finally received
and paid for will be that at tha nary-yard
where it is to be delivered.
In addition to the bonds which will be required
for the faithful performance of the contract, ten per.
centum will be deducted from the amount of all bills
for deliveries, and retained until the completion of
the contract, as additional security for its performance.
The remaining ninety per centum will ba
