Near Pittsborough, Jan. 20, 1836. PROSPECTUS OF THE WASHINGTON SUN. In presenting our paper to the public, it is proper that we should give a brief statement of our principles of policy our opinions ot men and measures and our motives for the course we intend to pursue, that those on whom we rely for support, may see the propriety of extending their patronage to us. It has, unfortunately, become too much the fashion of the times, to question men's motives, and misrepresent their acts. Anion": some men, the intentions of others are sure to be understood according to the use that can be made of their statements. Such men never seek to ascertain the truth, but the advantage to be gained by its perversion, in every thinff that concerns ourselves or others, therefore, it becomes our duty to speak plain ly nnd rplicitly. We do not mean to deal in parables. or furnish occassion to be misunderstood ; nor will w, ever suiter ourselves to be misrepresented. . . for our view ot public measures, we will e expuciu We stand for the rights of the States and of the Gene ra! (tirnmnt . z tttrvsa rinhls a rv-tw..i:v.l' i M 1 fl - o .ic ouiJuocifAake to ail encroachments hy either. We believe that the powers and privileges oi the States, and of the General Government, have been u iselv settled, and that thev are sufficiently guarded to ensure the entire safety, narrnony, and protection or an. We are, therefore, for the Union as it is, "one and mdi visible" and are ooDosed to any change that is predi cated upon speculative theories, and to be tested by doubtful experiments, at oesi. neuner caueu ior uu sessity, nor convenience. Wc are in lavorol an energetic Administration the Government, as best calculated, at all times, to pro tect the interest, promote the prosperity, and sustain the honor of the nation, and command respect both at home and abroad. In our political principles we are, and always have been, decidedly Republican and our paper shall be devoted to encourage and maintain Re publican principles of policy, and a Republican admin istration of the General Government. We believe that these principles are cherished and held sacred by a large maioritv of the American people, and that they never will be'lost sight of, or abandoned, while the people un derstand and value their rights, and are determined to maintain them. In the language of our motto, " we go where democratic principles lead us, and when they disappear, we mean to halt." 1 Our habits, our sense of propriety, our respect for the decencies of life, and the feelings of others, will never permit us u prostitute our columns to personal invec- live, caiumnv, or armse. l ney never snau dc aenieu w ith falsehood, nor degraded by low scurrility by that reckless and -indiscriminate disregard ci character and feeling that disgrace an honorable man, debase the habits, and pervert the tastes and morals of the commu nity. Such a practice has crept into usa amongst us. and we reirret it. There are those who can descend to this deoradinor habit, and who daily indulge in it- If thev believe it useful, and can feel that it is becoming, we shall not quarrel with their tastes, nor interfere with their pursuits. We have no feeliRgs to prompt us to such associations, no disposition to follow such exam Dies. Our Daoer shall contain the truth, as we understand and believe it. It shall disseminate sound, wholesome doctrines in politics and in morals, so far as our judg- ment and information will enable us to comprenenu these subjects. It shall be decorous, respectful, firm, dignified and independent. Independent in the cause of justice, to do what is right, and to reprove what is wrong. Independent in the expression of our opinions with firmness enougn to stand by mem. nu wnue we will never assail nor villify others to gratify the in terested views or malijrnant passions ot any one, nor intentionally wound the feelings of others, it must not be construed into a threat, when we declare our deter mination, in all things, to exact a strict reciprocity for ourselves. In regard to the candidate for the next Presidency, we m-e'oiir decided preference to HUGH LAWSON WHITE, of Tennessee, and our paper shall be devoted to his support. The name we have selected for our inurnal. is strikingly emblematic of the political Orb, whose election, we conceive, is couuecieu wiui me uigu- . . . ; . i .1 est interest of our country, and which we are desirous of promoting by every consistent effort in our power to make. The morning beams of the Sun aptly represent the rising greatness of Judge White, and point to his elevation to power. Its meridian epienuor innicates a brilliant, able, and prosperous administration of the Gov ernment, that the people may confidently anticipate from his high talents and irreproachable character and its calm and mellow light, sinking below the horizon in the far distant West, presents him, in quiet gradeur, slowly retiring from the scenes ot public life, after a bright and animating day of public duty and private virtue." The Sun shines, alike, upon the evil and the good shedding its genial warmth and enlivening in fluence upon every spot within the circle of its beams cheering the dark Globe itself as a just, a wise, and intelligent administration of our free and liberal Government, diffuses its balmy influence abroad shed cling its rich blessings among a prosperous, happy, and contented people. And although at times its face may be obscured by cloud and 6torms that gather below, yet its power is never paralyzed nor weakened. It dis sipates these noxious vapors with a breath shines forth again in the full majesty of its strength its radiance undiminished its brightness and splendor not dimmed. So much for the aptness of a name. J. D. LEARNED &. CO. TERMS.

'. 1 1 Politics or the Pay. - From the Boston Atlas. TROUBLE IN CONNECTICUT. 1 he Ilartlord 1 ones are in trouble. The spoils have not been divided to their minds, and they are up in arms about it. All the world knows, or ought to know, that the Governor of Connecticut has ap pointed John M. Niles, of Hartford, late Postmas ter, rejoicing in the title of judge, to the Senate of the U. States. This left a vacancy in the Post Office. To this aspired Wm. E. Holland, professor of lan guages and democracy in Washington (Hartford) College and Gideon Welles, professor of spoils politics, snd late comptroller of Connecticut. Gi deon beat the professor all hollow and is now up to his ears in newspapers and letter-bags. The professor and his friends became fractious in familiar language though in politics it is usu ally clipped of a letter, and reads 44 factious." they denounced Gideon. Gideon opened upon them the batteries of the Hartford Times, and threaten ed to shoot them as deserters. We have seen no return of the dead and wounded, but great carnal undoubtedly ensued. When it comes to truth-telling among old friends and those Jackson men it is a pretty serious affair, you may be assured. Welles and Co. have the advantage of the Professor, for the Professor has the misfortuue, which he shares in common with Van Buren, of being Fomewhat of a gentle man. As Mr. Holland has been a biographer Mr. an Buren, the Times undertak-- v' u biography of Mr. IIoJL!Jc4-,iStent than his great appearj?-it seems that the pressor was one of In;. - the Massacuuscii -- . iav more viw . ,.: ir Kor the nartv. He is bM further table to nimso ... - , , Filcwom.nd - haV Cdr JapeToff Hartford from the study of aristotle received new light in politics. Since that period he has been one of the most original of the origin rl Democrats; and has writ ten a book about Van Buren, that fairly entitles him to the Hartford Post Oflice or any other Post Office, with a good salary. But we must now let iir.'. vev' w' -, uim rn presume Mr. Holland speak for himself and tell his story about Mr. Welles. We copy from the Patriot and Democrat, a paper published at Hartford, and said bv the limes to be edited by Professor Holland; " We have brought vou a noseray of beautiful flowers, of which nothing is ours but the string that ties them." We give first an extract from the de scription of Welles' appearance at a town meeting: From the Patriot and Democrat, Jan. 23, 1836. "His frantic attitudes and incoherent screams, and vain endeavors to utter in cracked tones, an in telligent sentence, amid the clapping and stamping of his partizans formed a scene altogether unique, and would have been a study for Hogarth himself. It is impossible to give any idea of the nauseous. incoherent, scurrilous, and vulgar personalities pour ed forth by him ; or to paint the farsical style of his delivery. It is well known that he has ever been incapable of uttering a eonerent sentence m a deliberate assembly, in his calmest moments that his knowledge of language is confined to the vocabulary of Billingsgate and slang, unfit to be listened to by decent ears. But ci this occasion, mortification and disappointment unlocked his rigid jaws, and the foul contents ci hi3 breast burst forth in a deluge. From the Patriot and Democrat, of May 25, 1S35. "OCT" It will be seen by reference to our journal of proceedings in the House of Representatives, that on Wednesday last Mr- Gideon Wells was elected Comptroller of this State for the ensuing year on the part of the House. There is Cttle doubt of the concurrence of the Senate in this ap pointment and it must be admitted by all who lay entirely aside personal and local feelings, that Mr. Welles is well qualified, by ability and integrity of character, to Jill this honorable nnd responsible station. Every efibrt has been made to shake the public confidence in his integrity and capacity, and the foul epitJtcts, sneers, insinuations, nicknames, and ribaldry, with which he has been assailed by the Federal Press in this State, scarcely has a pa rallel in the history of party warfare." The Patriot and Democrat comments in the fol lowing terms on the rotation in office of the mo dern Democrats which only means rotation in of faces or a removal from a good office into abetter. This is the kind of patriotism that Shepley, Hill, and politicians of their colibre go for. The para graph has reference to the transfer of Niles to the Senate, and of the Comptroller to the Post Office : 'Such are the facts with regard to this extraor dinary and high-handed political intrigue this no vel application of tlvc domestic doctrine of rotation in office, by which Mr. Niles is rotated out of one office, which he has held seven years, with a sala- ry of tiro thousand Jfre hundred dollars a year, into another office equalhy lucrative, for probably seven years to come ; and Mr. Welles, with an of fice of a thousand dollars salary, is rotated into an other office, worth nearly tripple that amount.
