BY NJ HARDEN ANDREWS
Il is believed that wide field is presented at the
presen time In the city and county Of Philadelphia

nal.
The limits Of Prospectus will not permit OF more
than brief Elk position OF the Plan and Principles up
on which The publication will be undertaken
The prominent feature OF the paper viii he POLITE
cAK. Ii will battle xealously for sound Republican
Democvacy. with view TO the greatest good OF the
creates, number" or rnE American People"
The world is indeed governed much, and II
is equally that power Is cons ,ntly stealing from
the many to the few" The Editor will therefore
contend fr as little governmrn possible that little
emanatng from aud controlled by the People, and
uniform in is application Ia all.
1t will advocate the retention of as much indiv dual
liberty as is consistent with the security OF each mem
Der of the Republican Confederacy.
1t will respect the PERSONS the rights, the property
and The pr JUDGES Of all
II will acknowledge the superiority of mental pow
er, over thai of money and corporate privileges
1t will oppose arbitrary and unjust legislation, or
such legislation as is calculated 10 benefit or1ling
few at the expense Of the people as great whole.
Ii will oppose the establishment of a MONEY MA
CHINE ia the shape of a United States NIX. Past
experience has fully taught the danger Of such IN
stuion, aud revealed its coirupng and demoralizng
tendency. Ii will support however any scheme of
finance which will secure he General Government
entire control of its funds, to carry on It's operations
without restraint, subject to such regulations as may
preven, its misappicaton by Government officers
whether that scheme of finance be denomlnated The
Exchequer," independent Treasury" or Fiscal
Agent"
1t will s,renuously oppose all HIoH TARIFF regula-
tions, but will favor Tariff for az much revenue as
may be required TO carry forward Government upon
the most simple and economical prin cIpe, and at the
same time afford incidental protection to American In
dustry.
Il will oppose the Land Distribution scheme-ihe
robbng OF Peter to pay Paul-especially at moment
when the General Government Is largely In debt ana
suffers seGious pecuDary embarassncnls
Ii will advocate an increase of, a"d an improve

ency consists the protection of nation from foreign
insul, and aggression. In TIME OF PEACE PREPARE
FOR WAR" was Injunction of the Father OF our
Country, VIII CHI should be lndelibly impressed upon
the heart of eyerv true American citizen.
The paper will extend cordial support to the pre-
sent National Administration in all measures essen
tally democratic, and intended TO benefit the entire
American Peope-whe, at the time, it will not
hesitate 10 pose all abuses of trust and power, whe-
Their committed by the Chief Executive OF the natien
or any other servant of the People.
1t will fully reveal the workings and intrgues Of
corrupt and selfish politicians, more especially when
vernment through the aid of irresponsible money
power, upon foundation of Clay, without regard TO
the purity of the principles upon which the Republic
was originally established.
In regard to the candidate for the next Presidency il
is somewhat premature to declare any particular per-
sona preference, especially when many good and
sterling Democrats named in connection with that
Office The editor, however, believes that the sober
second thought OF the People is never wrong, but al
ways efficient" and he is willing to abide the fulfil
,ft in dnnt lime ri n
Herewith.
The paper will recognise the efficiency of Party or
ganization, but will not hesitate TO canvass with all
fairness and candor the pretensions of all candi laes
for Office prior to the regular nominations by a ma
joiy of the People, through Their delegates or other
wise.
In short, the editor will labor zealously TO advance
the moral and political happiness OF the whole People
sndto carry out, far may be practicable the doc
irines of the Fathers of ID. mocracy, summed up
in the simple phrase, Equal and exact justice to all
men,
