"THE S TAT ES M A N."
pi• "The three great ends which a statesman ought to pro-
pose to himself in the government of a nation are—security to pos-
sessors; facility to a 'Quirers ; and hope to all."—Coleridge.

paramcunt object or" The Statesman" will be to promote the
interest of the entire nation, irrespective of party or personal consi-
derations. In Home Politics "The Statesman" will support those
principles of our constitution which have been established by the
will and reason of the English people, and will urge he extension of
political rower in correspondence with the increasing tub lligence of
the community. In accordance with these principle " The States-
man" will seek to correct the abuses and amend the defects of the
representative system; it will support all measures for completin;
the great work of commercial reform; it will aid in devel pi, g the
municipal power of local bodies, with a view to a more faithful and
vigilant administration of local affairs, and a more pro:opt execution
of the measures required for promoting health and general well-
being.

Vie subject of Education is one which now °couples the most
anxious thoughts of all earnest thinkers. `• The Statesman" will
endeavour to obtain the cordial co-operation of all those practical
reformers to whom the public good is the supreme consideration.
In pursuing this object, it will not confine itself merely to n discus-
sion of the various schemes which have been proposed for the educa-
tion of the labouring classes. The worst evils under which the
nation is new suffering, spring mainly from the want of such a
system of education among the middle and higher classes as would
teach them to be more earnest In the tulfilmQnt of their duties.
Without a reform in that direction we cannot expect much improve-
ment in the government of the nation from any system cf education
for the poorer class.

The principles of our own Constitution will be the guide in Foreign
Policy, with a view to render it just, bold, at d uncotnpromisirg.
" The Statesman" will act with those politicians who seek to aid
and animate the Government in giving its corlial co-operation to
foreign states struggling to develope a freedom cognate with oar own
—a policy of alliance with constitutional governineu Is forming the
only true and practical counter acting force to the dynastic combina-
tions now threatened In Europe

As 7egards India, wide diversities of opinion prevail. " The
Statesman" will endeavour to show that the time has come for
organizing the Government of that vast empire in a manner alike
consi4tent with the dictates of Christianity, the w lfare of India,
and the true interests of Great Britain Party Politicians and Anti-
National Journalists may try to show that, is India, these objects
are irrcvmeheable. " The Statesman" will seek to unite those
patriots who bellive that the national conacience,and an enlightened
read for the national weal, equally demand that our Eastern
Em:, re shall no longer be governed by the short sighted policy of
Lendenhalt street.

The s' art ing events of the la,t few years, no less than the pre.ent
aspect of affairs, have taught politicians that the efficiency of the
army is one of the first elements of national independence and na-
tional strength. "The statesman' will give its hearty support to
the various measures required to make the army, in the largest
muse of the word, efficient, and accessible to all ranks of her Ma-
jesty's subjects.

Itt the Literary portion of the raper the main objnt will be to
give the readers of " The Statesman" ful and accurate information
as to what to going forward in the various departments of the Book-
world.
