THE STATESMAN."
" 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 acquirers; and hope to all."—Coleridge.
On the 17th of October will be publishei, No. 2 of " The States-
man," a First-c'ass Weekly Newspaper. Price sd. rnstamped, 6d.
Stamped. .

The paramount object of" The Statesman" will he 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 the extension of
political Dower in correspondence with the increasing intelligence of
the community. In accordance with these pi " The States-
man" will seek to correct the abuses and amend the defects of the
representative system; it will support all measures for completing
the great work of commercial reform; it will aid in developit g the
municipal power of local bodies, with a view to a more faithful and
vigilant administration of local affairs, and a more pro.ript execution
of the measures required for promoting health and general well-
being.
The subject of Education is one whirs now occuples the most
anxious thoughts of all earnest Hunks To. •• The Statesman" will
endeavour to obtain the cordial co-apes solion of all those practical
reformers to whom the public good is tue supreme consideration.
In pursuing this object, it will not conflee itself merely to a 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 among the middle and higher classes as would
teach them to be more earnest in the fuldlmeitt of their duties.
Without a reform in that direction we cannot expect much improve-
ment in the government of the nation from any system of education
for the poo-er class.
The principles of our own Constitution will be the guide in Foreign
Policy, with a view- to render it just, bold, at.el uncompromising.
" The Statesman" will act with those politicians who seek to aid
and animate the Government in giving its coriial co-operation to
foreign states struggling to develope a freedom cognate with our own

—a policy of alliance with constitutional governm- en's forming the
only true and practical counteracting force to the dynastic combina-
tions now threatercd in Europe

As regards 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 mr•iner alike
consistent with the dictates of Christianity, the welfare of India,
and the true Interests of Gre-,t Britain. Party Politicians and Anti-
National Joel aalists may try to show that, in India, these objects
are irreco.ici eable. " The Statcnan" will seek to urAte those
patriots who believe that the national consciedce,and an enlightened
rezatd fir the national weal, equally demand twat our Eastern
Empire shall no longer be governed by the shortsighted policy of
Leadenhall•street.

The startling events of the la,t few years, no less than the present
aspect of affairs, have taught politicians that the efficiency of the
army is one of the first elements of nations' independence and na-
tional strength. "The Statesman' will give its hearty support to
the various measures required to make the army, in the largeat
sense of the wcrd, efficient, and accessible to all ranks of her Ma-
jesty's subjects.
In the Literary portion of the paper the main object will be to
give the readers of " The Statesman" full and accurate information
as to what is going forward in the various departments of the Book-
world.
