THE CONSTITUTION.—A political, Liter
ary, and Commercial Newspaper, published in
the City of Baltimore. The. Constitution, which
was established and heretofore published by the
subscribers in the City of Washington, will, on
and alter Monday, the 1st day of December next,
be removed to and published in the City of Haiti’
more.
The Constitution is devoted to the support of the
principles of that instrument from which it borrows
the name, and opposes whatever is not sanctioned
by if- It considers a National Bank—a Protective
Tariff—Internal Improvements by the General Go
vernment— Distribution of the proceeds of the sales
of the Public Lands—Assumption of the debts of
the State.s—Abrogation of the Executive Veto—
aa unconstitutional and inexpedient. On the great
and vital question in all Governments—Taxation—
if will advocate as heretofore the imposition of du
ties for revenue alone—opposing a tariff for pro
\v°n aa unjust* oppressive, and unconstitutional.
've hope to make the paper worthy of the con
fidence and snpport of the Democratic party of Ma
ryland and of the country. It shall be the faithful
expositor of their principles, and the ever ready
medium to cmvey their sentiments and wishes to
the public. The Democratic enuse is the cause of
ft nth and justice. It courts the light. It shuns no
investigation. And we are determined to see
whether a paper, conducted with a devotion to the
principles, rather than to the men, of our party—to
further the great cause, of human progress, rather
man the mere advancement of particular individu
als —will not commend itself to the confidence and
favor of the people.
B is known that, in our politics! principles, wc
are entirely and thoroughly Democratic. Of this,
wc trust that wc have already afforded sufficient
evidence; and that we have also given some ear
nest of the temper and spirit with which wc sustain
° m ^.r*n.c'P*es and opinions.
f a, ,v'nI that the present Administration will
.family carry out the principles and the policy of
c Democratic party, wc shall continue most cor
mily anj earnestly to support all its measures
ending to this end. Its action in regard to Tex
s, Oregon, the Tariff, and the Independent Treas
ry, so far as they have been developed, has been in
ecordance with the policy of the party that placed
*"»•«» Power- and wc have not a doubt, that all
1 | , ^satisfied that every thing has been done that
_ou , done, to insure successful results to these
measures.
