IL is believed that a wide field is presented at the
present time, in the city and county of Philadelphia
for spirited bold and independent afternoon jour
nal
The limits Of Prospectus will not permit OF more
than bret Exposition OF the Plan and Pnncipes up
which the publication will be undertaken
The prominent feature of the paper viii be POLITE
cAK. Ii will battle zealously for sound Republican
Democracy with view 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 for little government as possible that little
emanating from and controlled by the People, and
uniform in lis application to all.
Ii will advocate the retention of much ndiv dual
Liberty is consistent with the security of each mem
Der of the Republican Conederacy.
II will respect the persons, the rights the property
and the prejudices Of all.
Ii will acknowledge the superiority of mental pow
er, thai OF money and corporate privileges
II will oppose arbitrary and unjust legislation, or
such Legislation is calculated to benefit ordllng
few at the expense ofthe people as great whole.
IL will oppose the establishment of a MONEY Ma
CHINE in the shape of United States Bank. Past
experience has fully taught the danger of such in
sttuon, and revealed its coTupng aud demorallzing
tendency. II will support however any scheme OF
finance which will secure the General Government
entire control OF It's funds, to carry its operations
without restraint, subject to such regulations as may
prevent its misapplicauon by Government Officers
whether that scheme of finance be denominated 'rhe
ExchequeT" independent Treasury" Fiscal
Agent
1t will sirenuously oppose all HIoH TARIFF regua-
tons but will favor Tariff for Is much
may be required TO carry forward Government upon
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 Paul-especially at moment
when the General Government is largely in debt, and
suffers serious pecuniary ADVERTISEMENTS.
Ii will advocate increase OF, and an improve
in the Navy, firmly believing that in its effci-
ency consists the protection of nation from foreign
insult and aggression. In TIME OF PEACE PREPARE
Eoa WAR" was an injunction of the Father of our
Country, VIII ch should be indeibly impressed upon
the heart Of every 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 PsoPie-while, at the same time, it will not
hesitate to expose all abuses OF trust and power whe-
Their committed by the Chief Executive of the natisn
any other servant Of the People.
1t will fully reveal the workings and ntrigues Of
corTupt and selfish politicians especially when
they are found endeavoring to build up a splendid Co.
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
was originally established
In regard to the candidate for the next Presidency
IL somewhat premature to declare any particular per-
sonal preference especially when SO many good and
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
ganizati0n, but will not hesitate to canvass with all
fairness and candor the of all candidates
for Office prior to the regular nominations by
joriy of the People, through their delegates other
wise.
In short the editor will labor zealousy 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, as summed up
in the simple phrase, Equal and exact justice to all
men,"
