EVENING EXPRESS,

Il 10 believed that wide field s presented at the
present time ia the city and county Of Philadelphia
for spirited, bold, and independent afternoon jour
nal.
The limits of Prospectus will no, permit of more
than brief E1p position OF the Plan and Principles up
on which the publication will be undertaken
The prominent feature of the paper will be PoLrI-
oAK. Ii will battle zeaIously for sound Republican
Democracy with view 10 tho greatest good Of the
greatest number" OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE"
The world is indeed governed too much" and il
il equally true that power Is constantly stealing from
the many 10 the few" The Editor will therefore
contend Er little government as possible that little
cmanatng from aud controlled by the People, and
uniform in its application To all.
Il will advocate the retention Of as much individual
liberty is consistent with the security Of each men,
Der Of the Republican Confederacy.
1t will respect the persons, the rights the property
and the prejudices of all.
II will acknowledge the superiority of mental pow
er, over that Of money and corporate privileges
will oppose arbitrary and unjust legislation, or
such legislation is calculated to benefit ordilng
few at the expense ofthe people as great whole.
II will oppose the establishment Of MoNEY MA
CHINE in tho shape of United States Bank. Past
experience has fully taught the danger Of such an in-
stuton, and revealed its coruptng and demoralizng
tendency. Il will support, however, any scheme Of
finance which will secure the General Government
entire control Of its funds to carry its operations
without restraint, subject such regulations may
prevent its interpolation BY Government officers
whether that scheme of finance be denOminated The
Exchequsr," "lndependent Treasury" or Fiscal
Agent - :, .,,o ,,.
tons but will favor Tariff fos a. much revenue a.
may be required to carry forward Government upon
the simple and economical principle and At the
time afford incidental protection to American in
dustry.
Il will oppose the Land Distribution scheme-the
robbng of Peter to pay Paul-especialy at moment
when the General Government is largely in debt, and
suffers serious pscuniary embanassments.
IL will advocate increase Of and an improve
msnt in the Navy, firmly believing that in its efic-
ency consists the protection Of nation from foreign
insult and aggression. In TIME OF PEACE PREPARE
Foa WAR;" was an injunction Of the Father of our
Country, which should be indebly 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 Psope-whie, at the same time it will not
hesitate to expose all abuses Of trust and power, whe-
ther committed by the Chief Executive of the natisn
any other servant Of the People.
IL will fully reveal the workings and intrgues Of
corrupt and selfish politicians more especially when
they are found endeavoring 10 build up splendid Co.
vsrnment, 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
II somewhat premature to declare any particular per.
sonal preference, especially when SO many good end
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
Ganization but will not hesitate to canvass with oil
fairness and candor the pretensiOns of all candidates
for Office prior to the regular nominations by ma
ority Of the People, through their delegates or other
wise.
In short the editor will labor zealously to advance
the moral and political happiness Of the whole People,
trines of the Fathers of Democracy, as summed up
in the simple phrase, Equal and exact justice to all
men,"
In addition to it, political character, the Express
will contain the usual variety found in the bes. jour-
mails Of the country. Its literary news, and CONNER
cial departments will be strictly attended to- and eve
~ effort used to render the paper acceptable not only
to the politician, but to all classes and condi-
tions Of society as complete metropolitan news
paper.
ternoon Immediately after the arrival of the great
Northern aad 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.
