The world is indeed governed too mucn, ana ~
!. s,na,Iv rue thai power is constantly stealing from
The many 10 the few The Editor will therefore
contend r as little government as possible that little

few at the expense ofthe people grea. whole.
1t will oppose the establishment Of a MONEY Ma
CHINE ia the shape of United States Bank. Past

Exchequer," independent Treasury" or Fiscal
Agent
Il will sirenuously oppose all HIGH TARIFF regula-
TONS but will favor Tariff for 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-
dustry.
1t will oppose the Land Distribution scheme-.he
robbing of Peter to pay Pau-especiay at moment

suffers serious pecuniary embarrassment

FOR WAR;" was an injunction Of the Father of our
Country, VIII CHI should be indeibly impressed upon
the heart Of everv true American citizen.
The paper will extend cordial support to the pre-
sent National Administration in all
tally Democratic and intended to benefit the entire
American Psope-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 natisn
any other servant Of the People.
1t will fully reveal the workings and intngues OF
corrupt and selfish politicians, more especially when
they 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
was originally established
In regard to the candidate Tor the next Presidency
is somewha 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 in accord
herewith
The paper will recognise the efficiency Of Party
ganzaon, but will not hesitate TO canvass with all
fairness and candor the preensons of all candidates
for Office prior TO the regular nominations by ma
jority of the People, through their delegates other
wise.
In short the editor will labor zeaousy to advance
the moral and political happiness of the whole People,
and carry out far may be practicable the doc
trines of the Fathers Of Democracy, summed up
~ the simple phrase Equal and exact justice to all
men,"
