BY NJ HARDEN ANDREWS.
1t is believed that wide field is presented 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 ur-
on which the publication will be undertaken
The prominent feature Of the paper will be roLiri-
oAK. 1t will battle zealously for sound Republican
Democracy with a view TO the greatest good OF The
greatest number OF AMERICAN PEOPLE
The world is indeed governed too much, and It
is equally that "power is cons anty stealing from
the many TO the few" The Editor viii therefore
contend fr as little government as possible that little
emanatng from and controlled by the People, and
uniform in It's application TO all
IL will advocate the retention of as much individual
liberty consistent with the security of each mem
Der OF the Republican Confederacy.
II will respect the PERSONS the rights the property
and the prejudices of all
II will acknowledge the superiority of mental pow
er, over that ofmoney and corporate privileges.
1t will oppose arbitrary and unjust legislation or
such legislation is calculated to benefit lorGling
few at the expense ofthe people great whole.
II 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
sttut,on, and revealed its orupng and deoralizng
tendency. II will support however any scheme OF
finance which will secure the General Governmen,
entire control Of its funds, to carry its operations
without restraint, subject to such regulations as may
prevent its misapplication by Government officers
whether that scheme of finance be denominaed The
Exchequer" independent Treasury" Fiscal
Agent"
II will strenuousy oppose all High TARIFF regula-
tons, but will favor Tariff for much revenue
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.
Il will oppose the Land Distribution scheme-the
robbng Peter to pay Paul--especiaIly at moment
when the General Government is largely in debt, and
suffers serous pscuniary embarrassments.
Ii will advocate increase Of and an improve
ment in the Navy, firmly believing that in its eici-
ency consists the protection of nation from foreg
insult and aggression. In TIME OF PEACE PREPARE
For WAR;" was Injunction of the Father of our
Country, VIII ch should be ndeliby 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 People-while at the time, it will not
hesitate expose all abuses OF and power whe
Their committed by the Chief Executive of the nasn,
or any other servant of the People.
1t will fully reveal the workings and intrigues of
corrupt and selfish politicians, more especially when
they found endeavoring 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 for the next Presidency
is 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
ansp Herewith.
The paper will recognise the efficiency of Party
Ranization but will not hesitate to canvass with all
fairness and candor the pretensions Of all candidates
for Office prior to the regular nominations by ma
joy of the People, through their delegates or other
wise.
In short, the editor will labor zealousIy to advance
the moral and political happiness of the whole People,
and to carry out as far may be practicable the doc
tines Of the Fathers Of Democracy, as summed up
~ the simple phrase, Equal and exact justice to all
men,"
