Democracy, with view 90 the greatest good oil the
greatest number" or THE American PEOPLE"
The world is indeed governed to much, and II
is equally true thar power Is Constantly stealing from
ia. MANY 10 the few" The Editor will therefore
contend as little government possible that little
~mansirng from and controlled by the People, and
uniform 10 us application 10 all.
II will advocate the retention of as much ndv dual
ubrt, is consistent with The security of each mem
Der of tue REPUBLICANS Confederacy
Ia will respec, the persons, ihe nights, the property
and The pr JUDGES Of all.
IL will Acknowledge the superiority of mental pow
ct, over thai OF money and Corporate privileges
IL will oppose arbitrary add unjust legislation, or
such legislation is calculated 10 benefit oroiing
few at the expense ofthe people great whole.
Il will oppose The establishment of MONEY Ma
CHINE in The shape of United States Bsnk. Past
experience has fully laugh, the dagger # such an IN
siuon, and revealed IT'S coiruptng and demoralixlng
tendency. 1t will support, however any scheme of
finance which will secure he General Government
entire control Of its funds, carry Its operations
without restraint, subject to such regulations as may
prevent its misapplicaiion by Governments officers
whether thar scheme OF finance be denominated The
EIchequer" "lnlependent Treasury" or Fiscal
Agen."
IL will s,renuousy oppose all HiGH TARIFF regula-
tons but will favor Tanff for much revenue as
may be required TO carry forward Government upon
the most simple and economical prin ;pe, and at the
time afford incidental protection to American in
dustry.

robbing OF Peter TO pay Paul-especially at moment
when the General Government is largely in debt and
suffers sefious pecuniary embarTassncnts.

ment in the Navy, firmly believing that in It's effic-
ency consists the protection Of our nation from foreign
insult and aggression. In TIME OF PEACE PREPARE
FoR WAR" was Injunction Of the Father of our
Country, VIII CHI 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 essen
tally democratic and intended 10 benefit the entire
American Peope-whe, at the same time, 1t will not
hesitate TO expose all abuses OF trust and power whe-
ther committed by the Chief Executive of the nalisn
or any other servant Of the People.
1t will fully reveal the workings and ntrigues of
corrupt and selfish politicians, more especially when
they found endeavoring to build up splendid Go
vernment, through the aid of an irresponsible money
the purity Of the principles upon which the Republic
originally established.
In regard to the candidate for the next Presidency
il somewhat premature to declare any particular per.
sonaI 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
OF the sentiment in due time, and act In accord
ance herewith.
The paper will recognise the efficiency Of Party
ganizatioD but will not hesitate to canvass with all
fairness and candor the pretensions of all candidates
for Office prior to the regular nominations by
jori.y of the People, through their delegates other
wise.
In short, the editor will labor zeaIously to advance
the moral and political happiness of the whole People,
andto carry out, far may be practicable the doc
trnes Of the Fathers Of Democracy summed up
in the simple phrase, Equal and exac! justice to all
men,"
