"111 HE STATESMAN."
"The three great ends which a ttatesmart ought to pro-
pose to himself in the revernment of a nation are —secarity to pos-
sessors; facility to a, Quirers ; and hope to all."—Coleridge.
On the 2 ith of October will be published, No. 3 of " The States-
man." a First-e'ass Weekly Newspaper. Price sd. Unstamped, Gd.
Stamped.

Tho paramcunt object of" The Statesman" will be to promote the
interest of the entire nation, irrespec'•ive of party or personal consi-
derations. In Home Politics "The Statesman" will support those
principles of our cons,itution which have been cs ablished by the
will and reason of the Fnglishdrople, and will urge he extension of
political rower in correspondence with the increasing intelligence of
the community. In accordance with these principle.," The States-
man" will seek to coirect the abus-s and amend the defects of the
representative system: it will support all measures for completinq
the great work of commercial reform; it will aid in deVel:ping the
municipal power of local bodies, with a view t 5 a more faithful and
vigilant administration of local affair•, and a more prolipt execution
of the measures required for promoting health and general well-
being.

The subject of Education is one which now occupies 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 considereion.
In pursuing this object, it will not confine 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, spr;ng 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 fulfilment 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 poorer class.
The principles of our own Constitution will be the guide in Foreign
Policy, with a view to render it just, bold, a, d uncompromising
" The Statesman" will act with those politicians who seek to aid
and animate the Government in giving its cordial co-operation to
foreign states struggling to develope a freedom cognate with our own
—a policy of alliance with constitutional governmon'a forming the
only true and practical counteracting force to the dynastic comb!na-
tions now threatened is 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 manner alike
consistent with the dictates of Christianity, the welfare of India,
and the true Interests of Great Britain. Party Politicians and Mitt.
National Journalists may try to show that, IR India, these objects
are irreconciteable. " The Statesman" will seek to unite those
patriots who believe that the national conacience,and an enlightened
regard for the national weal, equally demand that our Eastern
Empire shall no longer be governed by the shortsighted policy of
Leadenhall-street.

The startling events ofthe latt few years, no less than the preeent
wipect 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
sense of the wt,rd, efficient, and accessible to all ranks of her Ma-
jesty's subjects.

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