PROSPECTUS.
THE undersigned proposes TO publish in the city Of
i Baltimore, a newspaper TO be called
THE PILOT:

Born and educated in the West; he has known Gene
raj Harrison personally, aud been familiar with his pub
lie hfe since the commencement OF the wer lie has
known Mr. Van Buren, and closely observed ms career
since 1886.
The chief inducement To resume the arduous and
ponsibe duties of an Editor is The hope that he may
now contribute something towards the election OF Gene
raj Harrison The fidelity, ability, frmhess and mode
ration with which that eminent citizen has discharged the
most responsible and difficult public trnsis-his unexam-
Piled popularity the chief magistrate OF the Territories
N w. of the Ohio,--the unmpeached integrity OF his
public life; his amiable courteous and dI9nlhed respect
for the laws and public opinion, are guarantees that II
elected, he will bring into the administration lalhiu
competent and honest who VIII devote all the con-
stulional means of the Government to restore coni-
dence and thus revive the industry enterprise, credit
and prosperity of the Country now paTallzed by
unalthul and incompetent public agents.
The PILoT will review the course of the present adj
mnSraon, and discuss freely the fraudulent specula-
tons in the public lands and their comexon with the
subsequent warfare the banking institutions OF the
country. In doing this the present and the past admin
sraon will be identified, and their measures examined
and contrased,-the present unexamped condition OF
the country, the in which ii originated and the
inevitable consequence of continuing power in The SAND
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 haImonise as far as possible,
what would otherwise have been at conflict between To-
cal nteTeStS-and that this is less duty than the
protection of our foreign commerce. The benefits to
flow from well directed system of Internal Improve
vi
in case of invasion, instruction; of conveying the
products of the interior to market OR OF TRANSPORT
ING THE MAIL are papable 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 war, the leading routes
ofrave, accomplish general system of Internal I'm
provementS and will enforce the proprety of doing so,
and endeavor TO show how this may be done by an
ghtencd use of the public crediand also to develope
the Incidental advantages to flow from such measure,
by sustaining the credit of the States, and thus restoring
public and private confidence
Baltimore 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 diSng the intelli-
gence thus concentrated and whatever ZEAL
some experience, and unceasng industry can do will
be done to render acceptable, Commercial, Sci
enlifc, Literary and Miscellaneous, as well as poIiti-
cal newspaper-it will treat political opponents with
candor and fairness, but will be firm and decided III
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, ii should be necessary to
retaate, TO carry the "war into Africa" it will be
done-the Editor will not fdlter in the discharge of his
duty, 10 please subscriber gain advertisement
