cAK Ii viii battle zeaousIy for sound Republican
Democracy with view to The greatest good vi the
greatest number" or THE AMERICAN People
The world is indeed governed too much, and II
is equally true that "power SANITY stealing from
the many TO the few" The Editor will therefore
contend fr little government possible that little
emanaiing from and controlled by the People, and
uniform in It's application To all.
Ii will advocate the retention Of as much indiy dual
Liberty as is consistent with the security OF each
Der of the Republican Confedsracy.
IL will respect the persons, the rights, the property
and he pre- JUDGES of all.
twill acknowledge the superiority Of mental pow
er, over that of money and corporate privileges.
1t will oppose arbitrary and unjust legislation, or
such legislation is calculated to benefit loroling
few at the expense ofthe people a 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
stituon, and revealed It's coIuptng and demorazing
tendency. 1t will support, however, any scheme of
finance which will secure the General Government
entire control of its funds carry its operations
without restraint, subject to such regulations may
prevent Its misappllcation by Government officers
whether that scheme of finance be denominated The
Exchequer," independent Treasury" Fiscal

the most simple and economical principle and at the
time afford incidental protection to American in
dustry.
1t will oppose the Land Distribution scheme-the
robbing OF Peter to pay Pau-espcciaIy at a moment
when the General Government is largely in debt, and
suffers serious Pecuniary embarIassments.
II will advocate an increase Of aud an improve

ency consists the protection of nation from foreign
insult and aggression. In TIME OF PEACE PREPARE
Foa WAR" Injunction of the Father Of our
Country, VIII ch should be indeliby impressed upon
the heart Of everv 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 PsopIe-whle, at the time, it will not
hesta to pose all abuses of trust and power whe
ther committed by the Chief Executive of the nation,
or any other servant Of the People.
IL will fully reveal the workings and ibtrigues of
corrupt and selfish politicians, more especially when
they found endeavoring to build up splendid Go
vernmeDt, through the aid Of an irresponsible money
power, upon foundation of Clay, without regard TO
the purity Of the principles upon which the Republic
was originally established.
In regard the candidate for the next Presidency it
is somewhat premature to declare any particular per-
sonal 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!
ment OF the sentiment in due tme and act in accord
Herewith.
The paper will recognise the efficiency of Party or
ganization but will not hesitate to with all
fairness and candor the pretcnsions Of all cand aies
for office prior to the regular nominations by ma
joIty of the People, through their delegates other
wise.
In short, the editor will labor zealously to advance
the moral and political happiness of the whole People

trines Of the Fathers Of Democracy as summed up
in the simple phrase, Equal and justice all
men,"
