PROSPECTUS ««<

7or publishing tit Washington a newspaper, L,utto be called Pro

"the union." *jj;TO THE PUBLIC.

Having purchased from Messrs. Blair and Rives threbe whole establishment of the "Globe," we propose

'

lublishing at Washington a paper, to be styled puTHE UNION." | dee.We approach the task before us with a deep scr.se ''.ess

f the responsibility which we are about to assume,'

... .. ,;a. Kcnnu iiui wiiiiuui iiiucii uimucmc ui our ijuaiuiui- t*AV\ions. We huve some acquaintance, indeed, with viollie duties of an editor of a newspaper, but it was K'®^cquired upon other theatres, much moro limited

on jnd less conspicuous than the metropolis of our con- nevderated and wide-spread republic. BWe can scarcely be charged with any inordinate

anity in saying that upon the success of our insti- wefiitiona depends, in a great degree, the destiny of of tlhe oldest countries of Eurojie. A distant posterity comas u deep interest in our fute. The blessings of heatiberty ure essential to the prosperity of the whole to n

iiimati race; and where are they spread out on so suet

urge a field of action, or illustrated by so many or

irilliant examples, as in these United States? JamWe have only to realize them in our own history, His

nd in the happiness of our people, to spread the to ci

ame of liberty over the Eastern World. We i*iave only to perpetuate these blessings by preserv- decig the sacred Union of our States, and there is no "tanssignable limit to the prosperity which wc may prinnjoy, or the glories to wnich we may ascend in the n'8cale of nations. We have already wrought mira- portlea enough to astonish the foreign tourist amid all theis prejudices,and to attract the curiosity, if not the ferndmiration, of Europe. Wc have displayed the of Jenefits of Liberty and of Union in a scries of Dialhenomena, which are almost calculated to surprise theurselves. What can be more remurkable, even in rupllie present day, than the spirit of enterprise and im- Vrovement which pervades our States ; the schools turilrhich they arc erecting; the canals which they have "tan

xecuted; the more than 4,000 miles of railway which andliey have constructed in less than twenty years; the theuinense bodies of land which they have redeemed penirom the wilderness; the towns which they have ed.trewn over the West; the multiplication of our peo- hghle from three to twenty millions of souls; the aug- e*Plentation of the number ofour States from thirteen tem3 twenty-nine, including the three new States of »nd''loridd, Iowa, and Texas, which, as we write, wc jt ifope are now probably starting into existence?

A filth shall close the drama with the day, we ITime's noblest offspring is the last." late

It in principally the influence of the free instituionswe possess, and which were never dreamed ofnore than a hundred years by the philosophic au- 7"n£hor of these beautiful lines, that has wrought so 1

nany achievements here. Liberty excites Inan to n®c<

hink for himself, to cast oflf antiquated prejudices, 1

.nd to start in a new career of improvement. It "" ll

ipens, besides, in this new country, as it were, alew asylum to the oppressed of all nations, which, ,

n despite of the "Native American" prejudices of thoBhe day, still continues to invite other people to cul- w1

ivate our lands, and contribute to our progress. It js our free institutions, more than any other cause, n.vhich are drawing "the course of empire" to the 811,11

Western World.We live, too, in an extraordinary age. Improve- 6

nent seems to be the order of the day. Science is PCCIhooting forth in all directions. Art is obtaininghe most brilliant triumphs over Nature. The age L'51 c

s advancing with the impetuosity ofsteam, lo which ^t is so mucn indebted for its progress. Commerces expanding her wings under the impulse of a newmd stronger principle. There seems, indeed, to be sect

to limit to the progress of discovery; and it is in 8,or

he midst of such an age, and at tne metropolis of J?J"his great country, that we are about to erect our 1 ^ent, for the responsible purpose of maintaining the v1"rue principles of our institutions. We almostihrink back from the enterprise we have underta- !nten. But we at least bring to the task a spirit thats devoted to Liberty, to Union, and to our Counrny;u heart that is proud of the name of Ameri- '

:an; some little experience in our business; a zeal "

hut nothing cun subdue, and an industry that fears a10 labor. With theso feelings, we come to throw a

lurselves upon the liberality of our countrymen. 110,1

We trust that we shull receive, if we deserve, their ce#e

mpport. If we fail in an enterprise which might foniilmost appal the stoutest spirit, they will at least be ®el

ibcral enough to ascribe it to the want of power, ^}nind not of will.to the head that guides us, and not a'10o the heart that impels us. e.ln!Of one thing we may confidently assure the pubic.wcapproach the task with the deepest rcver- 1

nice for the true theory of our political institutions, 'aril)ur confederated republic is making a new and we

>old experiment in the science of qovERNMENT. re a

When wc look to the original form of the constitu- be c

ion, we are indeed struck with its novelty and beau- likey. We see in it an attempt to ascertain how far sue]ower can be so distribute!] between two govern- obi]hunts as to nrevent an txcetsivr coiicrnlratimt. and *trc

consequent abuse of it, in the federal arm; at the pellnine time that to much power was conveyeil to each, fh<in to enable them to accomplish the objects to which traeach of them was best adapted. poirThe fedkral government was principally to watch in o

>ver our foreign relations; that of the States was Flarticularlu to take care of our internal concerns. nowThe federal government should have adequate this

towers to muintain the peace and the rights of the "WiJnion abroad; but at home, its office is to assist in encitinding the Union together, by the benefits which mint showers around it, within certain prescribed lim- het<ts.leaving the great mass of local matters to the seniurisdiction of the States, which can better under- leaditand and more properly regulate them. Keeping wehis general distinction in view, the constitution has rRKnarked down the limits of the federal power, and h sariihould be the duty of its authorities religiously to in tlreserve them. Dissolution on the one hand, and pconsolidation on the other, being the extremes whichire to be carefully avoided, the constitution was so J)Urramed, and the government should be so sdminis- mc)cred, as, whilst the fedetal power exercises its le- |f| (|ptimatc functions, it should sacredly respect the 0^ctiuiitk of the States and the rights of the people. evelI'he federal government must, therefore, ever re- ra|nncmber, that it has only certain limited powers, pjmvhich are either specified in the constitution itself, e(j j>r which may be "necessary and proper" for carry- marng out the specified powers. It cannot pass these frnrunits with impunity. It cannot interjiolate any ^towers by a forced or factitious construction, with- mjntut producing some opposition from the parties to wp(he compact, or some remonstrance from the people. ^It would never do, indeed, to give an unlimited e>owcr to the federal head, over the local interests>f the several parts. Our country covers an exteniveempire. It embraces a great variety of climatesind soils, of occupations and of interests. The obiousdanger of too much federal legislation is, of {j0Bourae, that it may affect these different interests in ce#|very unequal degree. Whilst it seeks to adminis-

The only way of preventinghese injuries and these complaints is, to administerhe government within the limitations of the instrunent,and in a spirit which is calculated to equalize,s far aa possible, its benefits and its burdens ",el
