PROSPECTUS.
TVNHE undersigned proposes to publish in the city Of
Il Baltimore, a newspaper to be called
THE PILOT:

Born and educated in the West, he has known Gene
raj Harrison personally, and been familiar with his pub
lie life since the commencement of the war. He has
known Mr.. Van Buren,, and closely observed his career
since 1886
The chief nducement TO resume the arduous and res
ponsble duties Of an Editor is the hope that he may
now contribute something towards the election of Gene
raj Harrison The fidelity, ability, rmness and moder
alton with which that eminent citizen has discharged the
most responsible and difficult public russIhS unexam-
pied popularity the chief magistrate of the Territories
N. w. of the Ohio,-the unmpeached integrity OF his
public life his amiable, courteous and dignhed respect
fer the laws aud public opinion, are guarantees that, if
elected he will bring into the administration faithful
competent and honest men; who will devote all the con-
stitonal of the Government 10 restore conil-
dence and thus revive the industry, enterprise, credit
| and prosperity of the Country now paraized by I'M
faithful and incompetent public agents.
The PILOT will review the course OF the present adj
mnistration, and discuss freely the fraudulent specua-
tons in the public lands and their connexion with the
subsequent warfare on the banking Institutions OF the
country In doing this the present and the past admis-
isration will be identified, and their measures examined
and contrasted the present unexampled condition OF
the country, the causes in which il originated, and the
inevitable consequence continuing power IN the same
hands will be boldly and faithfully treated.
The undersigned believes that the Federal Govern
ment is compact between the States intended by
more perfect union to haImonse, as far as possible,
what would otherwise have been at conflict between To-
cal interess-and that this is less duty than the
protection of our foreign commerce. The benefits to
flow from well directed system of Internal Improve
mens, whether il be considered means OF defence
in of invason Instruction; of conveying the
products of the interior to market OR OF TRANSPORT
ING THE MAIL, are so palpabe that the only objections
heretofore urged against appropriations TO that object
have been made by those who denied the power of the
Federal Government; or by others who, admitting the
power denied the expedency, under the existing state
of the Treasury. The undersigned believes that the
Federal Government may, by permanent contracts with
rail road companies for the transportation of the mail
and troops and munitions of the leading routes
of travel, accomplish general system of Internal Inn
provemcns and will enforce the propney of doing So
and cudeavor 20 show how this may be done by
lghtencd of the public credit-and also TO develope
the incidental advantages to flow from such measure,
by sustaining the credit of the States, and thus esorn
public and private confidence %
isaliraofe is central and in some respects the best
point at which TO concentrate political intelligence -
Should the expectations of the Editor be realized, the
Pilot will become the medium of difsng the inelli-
gence thus concentrated and whatever earnest zeal,
some experience, and unceasing industry do, will
be done to render it acceptable, Commercial Sci
entilc Literary and Miscellaneous as we'll as a politi-
cal newspaper.-It will treat political opponents with
candor and fairness, but will be firm and decided in
support of the men, the measures and the principles
whose support may be identified with the welfare of the
country and if in doing this, it shall be necessary to
IetaaIe TO carry the "war into Africa" ii will be
