PROSPECTUS
FOR PUBLISHING AT WASHINGTON A NEWS
PAPER, TO BE CALLED
THE UNION.
To the Public.
Having purchased from Mossrs Blair and Rives
the whole establishment of the "Globe" we propose
r """aiiiug u rruaiuiigion a paper, to De styled
" The Union."
We approach tho task before us with, a doep
sense of the responsibility which wn urn nhnnf tn
assume, and not without much diMdence of our
auuuucnuuns. we nave some acquaintance in
eed, with the duties of an editor of a newspaper,
but it was acquired upon other theatres, much
more limited and less conspicoug than tho metro
polis of our confederated and wido-s prcad republic.
We can scarcely be charged with any inordinate
vanity in savin? ihnt on the neirunfn,ii ',.,.:,..
tions depends, in a great degree, the destiny of
has a doep interost in our fnto. The blessings of
noertj are essential to the prosperity of the whole
human race; ond where are they spread out on so
large a field of action, or illustrated by so many
brilliant examples, as in these United States?
w e nave only to roalize them in our own history,
and in the happiness of oar people to spread the
name of libarty over the Eistebh .Wohld. We
have only to porpetunte thelre blessings by preser
ving the sacred Umoit of our States, these is no
assignation of limit to the prosperity which we may
njoy by th o glories to which we may ascend in
the scale of nations. We have already wrought
miracles enough, to stonish the foreign tourist
amid all his prejudices, and to attact the curioaity,
if not the admiration, of. Europe. Wo hnvn Ala.
played the benefits of Libert and Union in a se
ries of phenomena which are almost calculated to
suprise ourselves. What can be more remarkable,
even in the present dny, than tho spirit of enter
prise and improvement which pervades our States;
the schools which they are erecting; tho canals
which they have executed; tho more than 4,000
miles of railway which they have constructed in
less than twenty years; the immense bodies of
land which they have tedeomed from tho wilder
ness; the towns which thoy have strewn over the
West; the multiplication of our people from three
to twenty million of souls; the augmentation of
the number of our Statis from thirteen to twenty
nine, iiiuiumiig me mrue new oiaics oi r loriuu,
Iowa and Texas, which, ns wo write, we hopo arc
now probably starting into existence?
" Westward the course of empire takes lis way;
The four first acts alrcndy past,
A fifth shall close the drama with the day,
Times noblest offuqThig Is the lest."
It is principally the influence of the free institu
tions we possess, and which were never dreamed
of, more than a hundred years since, by tho phi
losopic author of theso beautiful lines, that has
Wrought so. mnny achievements here. Liberty
excites man (o think for him self, to cast, off anti
quated prcjudicies, and to start in a new career of
improvement. It opens, bosides, in this now
country, as it were, a new asylum to the op'
pressed of all nnfions which in disnito of (he
" Nfttive Amorican" prejudices of the day, still
continues to invito other people to cultivate our
lands, and contribute to our progress. It is our
freo institutions, more than any other cause, which
are drawing " the course of empire" to the Wes
tern World.
We l!ve, toa. In an extrnordinnrynge. Improve
ment seems to be the order of tho day. Art is
obtaining the mos; brilihnt triumphs over Nature.
I he ago is advancing witn the impetousity of
steam, to which it is so much indebted fur its: pro
gress. Commcroo is expanding her wings under
the impubso of a new and stronger principle.
Thoro seems indeed, to be no limit to the progress
of discovery ; n'md it is in the midst af such an
ago, and in tlio mctrvUs of this great country,
that we ore about lo erect our tent, for the respon
sible purpose of maintaining the true principles of
our institutions. Wo almost shrink back from
the enterprize wo have undortnken. But we at
least bring to the task a spirit that is devoted to
Libertt, to Union and to our Country; a heart
that is proud of the nam of American; some
little experience in our business; a zeal that noth
ing can subdue, and an industry that fears n
labor. With these feelings, wo eome to throw
ourselves upon the liberality of our countrymen.
We trust that we shall receive, if we deserve their
support. If we fail in an enterprise which might
almost aupal the stoutest spirit, thoy will at
least be liberal enouah to ascribe it to the wnnt
of power, and not of will to the head thafcguides
us, ana not to me ueajri nun impels us.
Of one thing may we confidently assure the pub
lic we approncn tne tasK wun tne deepest re
verence for thn theory of our political institu
tions. Our conseccratcd Republic is makine a
new and bald experiment in the science of govern
ment. When we look to the original form of the
Constitution, we are indeed struck with its novel
ty and how far power can bo distributed between
two govciuuii'rits asto p1'ciii- un excessive eon
centration, an j consequent abuse of it by tho fede
ralarm'Lt the snme time so mush power was eon.
veyeri to each, as to enable them to accomplish the
obiects to which each of thslh was best adapted.
The federal government was principally to
watcn oyer our loreig" ruiuuuns; inui ui me
States was particularly n take care of our internal
concerns
The federal irovornment should have adequate
powers to maintain the peace and rights of th
union auroaa; dui ai nome us omcv iuii m
binding the Union together, by the benefits which
it showers around it, withincertain prescribed
limits; leaving the great mass of jocal matters to
tho jurisdiction of the States, which can better
understand and more promptly regulate them.
Keeping this distinction in view, the constitution
has marked down the limits of the federal power,
and it should he the duty of its authorities reli
giously to 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 administered, as, whilst tho federal
power exereises its legitimate functions, it should
sacredTy respect the rights of the States and the
rights of the people. The fodoral government
must, therefore, ever romember that it has certain
limited powers, which are either specified in the
constitution itself, or which may be " necessary
and proper" for carrying out aq specified powers.
It cannot Interpolate any powers by a forted or
factitious construction, without producing some
opposition from the parties to ths compast, or some
remonstrance from the people.
It would never do, indeed, to give nn unlimited
power to tho fodornl head, over the local interests
nf the acvernl narts. Our country covors nn ex
tensive tmnire. It embraces a (treat variety of
climates and soils, occupationss and of interests.
The obvious danger of too much federal legisla
tion is, of course, that it may effect theso different
interests in a very unequal degree. Whilst it
seeks to administer benefit to one section, it
mi, imnnae burdens unon another. Nordoes th e
mischief terminate hero. Inequality produces
complaint. The sufforing States become dissatis
fied. One section not only murmurs about tho
partiality shown to another, but against tho go
vernment winch commits it. A he Union it sell is
less respected, becnuse of tho injustieo which it
displays. Tho only way of preventing those
injuries and those complainlB is, to administer 'he
government within the limitations ol tho instru
nient, and in a spirit whish is calculated to enua
lizc, as far as possible its benefits and its burdens
amongst tne whole union. In no other way can
we prevent tho federal govorruricnt from rushing
into schemes of consolidation or tho States into a
tendency towards dissolution. If wo permit tho
federal government systematically to adopt any
rule of construction, which may cnlargo its
powers at the expenso ot the btatcs or ot tne peo
pleif Congress may adopt any measure which
they may fancy to uo " necessary and proper,"
then power may be so augmented as, in the pro
gress of time, to amount to consolidation. Then,
we must extend the executive department to
carry out these extended powers; then es 0110 of
tne eclobrnteu resolutions ol one of the first
States in the Union showed in '99, wo would gra-
uynlly mergo into a limited monarchy, Hushed
with powor and fortified by patronngo; or, we
must fly to tho other fatal ulternativc; we must
dissolve the Union itself to recover our liberties;
that Union, which has been consecrated by tho
blood of our forefathers; that Union whieh is so
necessary to preserve our tranquility at lismo and
our peace abroad; that Union which ought to bs
as dear to us as " tho ruddy drops which warm
our hearts."
In a word, the government must be administered
according to tho good old Jcffersonion standard.
in this respcet we are happy to know that we shall
but carry out the deliberate wishes of tho present
President of the United States. The time once
iyas, when a very different rule prevailed, and
when the latitudinous constmslionists of the
federal school stood at tho helm of affairs. A
powerful National Bank had triumped over the
Constitution, and threatened our very .liberties.
A eiiranti system ot Internal Improvements was
projected by tho general government. An un
equal and oppressive Tariff of duties was esta
blished. What limit, indeed, was there to be to
the encroachments and excesses of the govern
ment, if these principles prevailed in its adminis
tration? Hut thanks to tho superior genius and
the "iron will" of Andrew Jackson; Tie camo to
redeem, by his vetoes, the constitution from vio
lation, and the country from abuse. He strangled
the Monster Bank; ho set limits to the wild
schemes of Internal Improvement, and he insisted
on bringing back the Tariff System to its legiti
mate revenue uses.
But the federal nartv was not vet extinguished.
Their extraordinary efforts in 1480 to defeat that
able statesman, Martin Van Buren, aided as they
were by tho vilest devices, and by the grossest
abuse ot the money powsr, contributed, witn tne
singular condition of the country, to place them
again at they head of the government. It is not
necessary for us to recapitulate the struggles
which has since easued, to describe the indomi
table spirit of our frisnds, on (heir final glorious
triumph in the election of James K. Polk. An
other era is then open to us. His administration
has just commenced. Ho comes to carry out tne
principles of the Republican Tarty, and the pledges
to that end under which he has been elected. He
takes the Jefl'ersonian Era for his standard, and
wo, too, come forward to support the principles of
the Hepublican foitn, and to gives ins adminis
tration a fair, liberal, and efficient support. We
will ennose a latitudinouscoiiBtruction of the con
stitution: a National Bank in any of its forms;
an extravagant and unconstitutional system of
National Improvements; an insidious uisriiDuuon
of the Proceeds of the Public Lands; tho Assump
tion of State Debts, and sush a Buukrupt Law as
disgraced the statute book in 18-22.
We Bhall contend against an unjust and unequal
tariff. We will support a fnir and just revenue.
standard. This rate should be moderate in itself,
and sufficient to raise adequate means, along
with the proceeds of tho public lands, to meet the
expenses of the government economically admi
nistered. We are, therefore in favor of the most
enlightened system which has boen suggested by
tho experience and the wants of the treasury
" a system adjusted on a scale consonant with all
tho great and various intorcsts oi me union wuu
out seetions." It is now hoped that tho time is
near at hand wherein a just and equal system of
revenue may be introduced in Older to silent epin-
nlaint. and to cnuaiizo tno Diessuias aim uie our-
dens of government. Such, we are satisfied, is
the true spirit of tho President's late admirable
inaugural, whose general views of the character
and principles oi our government may saioiy aeiy
all the lliberal criticisms of the late English jour
nals. It looks to a revenue standard of duties,
honestly levied for the purpose of raising the ne
cessary funds to defray the economical expenses
of the (Tovemmcnt: and to be levied in such man
ner as to equalizo, as far as practicable, the public
burdens upon all classes ana sccuun.
We shall deem it our solemn duty to respect
those CBSontinl ompromises in tho constitution
which secured its adoption. These wero " tho
result of a spirit of amity, and of that mutual de
fence and concession which the peculiarity of our
political situation rendered indispsnsible." They
direetly oomdemn tho rash and meddlesome dis
position on the part of the abolitionists to inter
fere with the peculiar institutisne of one portion
of the confederacy, which is strongly calculated
to distract our public councils, and to create some
alarm about tho Union itself.
Wo pledge ourselves likewise to sustain the
administration in the efforts which will be made
to secure to tho United States the undisturbed
possession of Oregon. However much the late
English journals may navo preieiiueu iu uu
preciate however idly they may have ridiculed
our right to the country we 'entertain no doubt
about the just title of the Amerisan government.
We feci assured that, in tho settlement of this
momentous quostion, nothing will be omitted by
the President of the United States which may be
demanded by a proper spirit of conciliation, and a
duo regard to the rights and honer of our country.
Rut other subiects now call upon our attention;
and at this time transcending all others, is tho
question of annoxatun of lexas. It is scarcely
necessary for us to pledge all our efforts to the
final consummation of that great question. None
have beon more zealously devoted than ourselvos
to the admission of the lone star into our constel
lation. Should any difficulties occur on the part
of her uovernmcnt. or of the whigs f tho United
States, we shall spare o exertions to reinovo
them. ,; , ,
These important quostions once adjusted, ana
rl,. inrifl" svstem brouirht to the proper revenue
point, we may thon expect mbro tranquility in our
party relations but peace, neutc The danger
can never be .over, so long as we havo a party to
contend with 'liko tho- federal whigs a party
which is actuated by such false principles, which
; etrnmr in iie.lf.so nblv oruanized, ao closely
cemented together, so idolatrously attached to its
leaders, and so fatally impelled by its excited pas
sions, and its mortified pruio. iney are even nun
preparing to attaok at administration, to mis
represent its measures, abuse its appointments and
pull down the republican party, in order thai
they may rise upon its ruins.
For ourselves we are prepared to resist them
now, and hereafter ns vigorously us tho editor of
ibis paper lias done tor moro than forty years.
With such an opposition we must expect a con
stant encounter, nnd we go le Washington with
a determined spirit to resist them to expose their
hoteredox princi)cs to clear away misrepresen
tations,' and to bafllo tho election of their leaders.

Wo shall bo willing to cope with ouradversaries,
not in personal abuse, but with fair arizumciit
in (he open field.
For the purpose of resisting so formidable an
opposition, we shall spore no honorable effort to
koep our own party unitod. We hold that this
government bolongs to the peeple of tho Stales
that it is their power to give and to take away the
highest offices f the republic and that overy
man, however distinguished by ability or serviocs
should calmly wait until it shall please the people
to call Mm into their service. Such was the
course pursued by our party nt tho last election.

been called from his retirement, nnd such is the
example which tho peoplo will hereafter imitate,
if tho present administration shall bo crowned

eoniplish, In any event, wo will seek to make
this moral lesson effective nnd for this purpose, we
go to Washington, tocarry out the pledge under
which Mr. Polk has been elected, and to keop our

MISCELLANY.
Solomon a free Trader. The Hebrews
were essentially an agricultural and pastoral
peoplo, equally averse to commerce and
manufacturing industry. Solomon exerted
himself to reform national habits; he estab
lished an emporium at Eztoigeber to open
trading communications with tho eastern
seas, wtiilo Ins connexions; witn tno lynans
enabled him lo participate in tho commerce
of the Mediterranean. It appeals that he
wished to make textile fabrics one pnrt of
his exports by entering into a league with
the reigning Pharaoh to recoiue linen yarn
at a stipulated prica, or as the words may bo,
rendered, at a fixed duty. This early ex
ample of a commercial treaty for regulating
a tarifi of intercourse is curiously illustra
ted by tho recent discoveries in Egyptian
antiquities; wo find from them that the Pha
raohs had very large spinning establish
ments, such as wo should in the present day
call factories, so that there was not only
enough of yarn left for home consumption
in the valley of the Nile, but for expertation.
Had Solomon '"'resembled some modern
statesmen, he would have protectedthe spin
ning industry of Judea by laying a prohibi
tory duty on the import of foreign yarn; but
Solomon was aware that tho protection to
Hebrew flax-growers and spinners would so
much enhanco the prico of yarn to Hebrew
weavers that they could net bring thoir yarn
into a foreign-market. Ho did not estab
lish a monopoly, for ho saw very clearly that
every monopoly is a great injury to the many
for tho small bonofit of the few, and instead
of telling his weavers to look exclusively to
the home market, ho endeavered to open
for hem as many markets as pessible.
