THE DAILY ATLAS.

We have seen the first number of this Republican paper, (for which, however,we are under no favors to its editor,; edited and published by John D. Delrees at Indianapolis, It typographical appearance is neat and creditable, while its editorials evince the [highest order of journali tic talent. Mr. Defrces is well known to the reading public of Indiana, and wo doubt not the Allas will receive the encouragement it deserves. We extract the following from his introductory articl ?, which is terse and to the point: “We shall oppose the continuance of power in the hands of the party now controlling the affairs of our National and Lt.ate Governments. because— I “1. Ii denies the powder of the people of a Territory to prohibit slavery therein by legislative enactment. “2. It opposed and defeated t’ne passage of a law, at the last session of Congress, securing homes to actual settlers on our public lands. “3. It bus, for the purpose of maintaining political power, forced upon ihe country the agitation ol questions affecting slavery, culeulu ed to disturb the harmony and endanger the perpetuity of the union ol the States. “4. It has endeavored to extend and to perpetuate slavery in Kansas by its efforts to force the Lecomptou Constitution upon ] the people of that Territory, contrary to II heir w ishes. - “5. It i- pledged to maintain, by Congressional enactment, the dogma announced by Mr. Calhoun a few years ago, ,nd more recently recognized by a dictum ol the Supreme Court,) that slavery exists in our Territories by reason ol the Constitution itself. “6. It has failed to enforce the law. against the slave trade, thus encouraging the revival ot that infamous traffic, in accordance with the wishes ot the leaders of the party in the slave States, who demand a repeal of the law itself. “7. It lias become corrupt and’extravagant in the management of the affairs of the State and National Governments. “8. I* has failed to give that encouragement. to the constru. tion of a railroad to the Pacific, and to the improvement of rivers and tiarbors ot national character, which the interests of the country demand. “9. It has, for partisan purposes, permitted persons from Indiana to occupy seats in the United States Senate, und to vote as Senators, who were never chosen by the Legislature o this State. “10. It has created a national debt, by bur owing money, witliuut providing means by discriminating du ies, for its repayment.”
