Ii is believed that wide field is presented at the
present time IN the city and county of Philadelphia
for spirited, bold and independent afternoon jour
nal.
Ihe limits of a Prospectus will not permit of more
than brief Exposition OF the Plan and Principles up
on which the publication will be undertaken.
The prominent feature Of the paper viii be POLITE
oAk. IL will battle zealously for sound Republican
Democracy, with view to the greatest good Of the
greatest number" OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE"
The world is indeed governed too much, and II
Is equally true that power Is constantly stealing from
the many to the few" The Editor will therefore
contend kr as little government possible that little
emanating from and controlled by the People, and
uniform in its application to all
Ii will advocate the retention of as much individual
liberty is consistent with the security OF each mem
Der of the Republican Confederacy.
1t will respect the persons, the rights, the property
and the prejudices OF all.
Il will acknowledge the superiority of mental pow
er, thai fmoney and corporate privileges.
Ii will oppose arbitrary and unjust legislation, or
such legislation is calculated to benefit lordlIng
few at the expense ofthe people great whole
1t will oppose the establishment of MONEY Ma
CHINE in the shape Of United States Bank. Past
experience has fully taught the danger Of such in
s,iiulion aud revealed its couptng and demorazing
tendency. IL will support, however, any scheme of
finance which will secure the General Government
entire control of its funds, to carry It's operations
without restraint, subject to such regulations as may
whether that scheme of finance be denomnated The
Exchequer," independent Treasury" or Fiscal
Agent"
Il will sfrenuously oppose all HIGH TARIFF regula
TONS but will favor Tanf for as much revenue as
may be required TO carry forward Government upon
the simple and economical principle, and at the
time afford incidental protection to American in
dusIy
1t will oppose the Land Distribution scheme-the
Iobbing ofPeter to pay Paul-especally at moment
when the General Government is largely in debt and
suffers serious pecuniary embarrassments
IL will advocate increase of, and an improve
ment in the Navy, firmly believing that in its efici-
ency consists the protection OF nation from foreign
insult and aggression. In TIME PEACE
FOR WAR;" Injunction of the Father Of
Country, VIII oh should be indelibly impressed upon
the heart of everv true American citizen.
The paper will extend cordial support to the pre-
sent National Administration in all measures
tally democratic, and intended to benefit the entire
American People-while, at the same time, 1t will not
hesitate expose all abuses of trust and power whe
ther committed by the Chief Executive of the nasn,
OF any other servant of the People.
1t will fully reveal the workings and intrigues of
corrupt and selfish politicians, more especially when
they are found endeavoring to build up splendid Go
vernment through the aid of an irresponsible money
power upon foundation of Clay without regard to
the purity Of the principles upon which the Republic
originally established
In regard to the candidate for the next Presidency it
is somewhat premature declare any particular per-
sOnaI preference, especially WHen SO many gOou anu
sterling Democrats named in connection with that
office. The editor, however believes that the sober
second thought of the People is wrong but al
ways efficient" and he is willing to abide the fulfil
ment of the sentiment in due time, and act in accord
ance Herewith.
The paper will recognise the efficiency of Party
ganization, but will hesitate to canvass with all
fairness and candor the pretensions of all candid tes
for office prior to the regular nominations by ma
jory 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,
andto carry out, as far may be practicable the doc
trines Of the Fathers Of Democracy, summed up
in the simple phrase, Equal and exact justice to all
men,"

mails Of the country. Its literary, news and CONNER
cai departments, will be strictly attended TO, and

tons of society," as complete metropolit&A news
paper.

ternoon Immediately after the arrival of the great
Northern and Southern mails. BY this arrangement
in addition to the usual matters Of the day, the most
important intelligence will be presented to its readers
