EVENING EAPRESS,
BY NJ. HARDEN ANDREWS.
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
The limits of Prospectus will not permit OF more
than brief Exposition OF the Plan and PRINCIPLES W
which the publication will be undertaken.
The prominent feature OF the paper VIII DC POLITE
cAK. Ii will battle zealously for sound Republican
Democracy, with view to The greatest gooa Oh tue
greatest number" or 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 fr as little government possible that little
emanaiing from and controlled by the People, and
uniform in lis application To all
IL will advocate the retention Of much ndiv dual
liberty as is consistent with the security of each mem.
Der of the Republican Coniederacy.
IL will respect the persons, The rights, the property
and the pr JUDGES of all.
Il 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 is calculated to benefit or1llng
few at the expense ofthe people as great whole.
1t will oppose the establishment of a MONEY Ma
CHINE in the shape of a United States Bank. Past
experience has fully taught the danger Of such an IN
stuon, and revealed It's couuptng and demoralizlng
tendency. 1t will support however, any scheme of
finance which will secure the General Government
without restraint, subject to such regulations as may
proven, its misapplica.ion by Government officers
whether that scheme of finance be denominated The
Exchequer," "lndcpendent Treasury" or Fiscal
Agent"
= il will strenuously oppose all HIGH TARIFF regua-
tons but will favor Tanff for much revenue as
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.
II will oppose the Land Distribution scheme-he
robbing OF Peter to pay Paul-especaIIy at moment
when the General Government is largely in debt and
suffers serious pecuniary embarrassmenls
II will advocate an increase of, and an improve
ment in, the Navy firmly believing that in its efici-
sncy consists the protection of nation from foreign
insult and aggression. In TIME OF PEACE PREPARE
FOR WAR;" was an injunction of the Father of our
Country, VIII CHI should be indelibly impressed upon
the heart of every true American citizen.
The paper will extend cordial support to the pre-
sent National Administration in all measures essen
TALLY democratic, and intended 10 benefit the entire
American Psople-whe, 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 naen,
any other servant Of the People
II will fully reveal the workings and intrigues of
corrupt and selfish politicians, more especially when
they found endeavorng to build up splendid Go
vernment, through the aid Of irresponsible money
power, upon a foundation of Clay, without regard TO
the purity Of the principles upon which the Republic
originally established.
In regard 10 the candidate for the next Presidency 1t
is somewhat premature to declare any particular per-
sOnal preference, especially when many good and
sterling Democrats are 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
of the sentiment in due time, and act in accord
ance Herewith.
The paper will recognise the efficiency Of Party or
ganzation, but will hesitate to canvass with all
fairness and candor the pretensions of all candidates
for office prior to the regular nominations by
ioIity Of the People, through their delegates other
wise
In short the editor will labor zealousy to advance
the moral and political happiness of The whole People,
andto carry out as far may be practicable the doc
trnes of the Fathers of Democracy, summed up
in the simple phrase equal and justice to all
men,"
will contain the usual variety found in the best Jour
mails of the country. Its literary, news, and
cial departments will be strictly attended to, and
ny effort used to render the paper acceptable not only
to the mere politician, but to all classes and condi-
tons of society, a complete metropolitan 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
full ten hours in advance of the morning papers
1t will be printed in new type and upon paper Of
the fairest quality, and served by the newsmen to
subscribers with promptitude and regularity.
