EVENING EXPRESS,
BY M. HARDEN ANDREWS.
1t is believed that wide field s'presenej, at the
present time, ia the city and county OF Philadelphia
for spirited, bold and independent afternoon jour
nal.
The limits Of a Prospectus will not permit OF more
than brief Exposition OF the Plan and Principles up
on which the publication will be undertaken.
The prominent feature of the paper will be PoIITi-
Ii will battle zealously for sound Republican
Democracy, with view TO the greatest good OF the
greatest number" OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
The world is indeed governed too much, and It
equally true that power is constantly stealing from
the many To the few" The Editor will therefore
contend for little government possible that little
emansting 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 preJudces OF all.
Ii will acknowledge the superiority of mental pow
er, over that of money and corporate privileges.
II will oppose arbitrary and unjust Legislation, or
such legislation as Is calculated to benefit lordlng
few at the expense the people a 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
stitutlon and revealed its corruptng and demoralizng
tendency. 1t will support, however, any scheme of
finance which will secure the General Government
entire control Of It's funds to carry on its operations
without restraint subject to such regulations as may
prevent It's misappication by Government officers
whether that scheme of finance be denominated The
Exchequer," independent Treasury" or Fiscal
Agent"
1t will s,renuously oppose all HIGH TARIFF regula-
tons, but will favor Tariff for as 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.
1t will oppose the Land Distribution scheme-,he
robbing of Peter to pay Pau-especialy at a moment
when the General Government Is largely in debt and
suffers serious pecuniary embarassments.
1t will advocate increase OF, and an improve
ment in, the Navy, firmly believing that in It's efhc-
ency the protection OF our nation from foreign
insult and aggression. In TIME OF PEACE PREPARE
FOR WAR;" injunction of the Father of our
Country, who 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 measures essen
TALLY democratic, and intended 10 benefit the entire
American People-while at the time, it 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 ntrigues of
corrupt and selfish politicians more especially when
they are found endeavoring to build up splendid Go
vernment, through the aid of irresponsible money
power, upon foundation of Clay, without regard to
the purity of the principles upon which the Republic
was originally estaOUsHeu
In regard to the candidate for the next Presidency
is somewhat premature to declare any particular per.
sonal preference, especially when 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
ance Herewith.
The paper will recognise the efficiency of Party or
ganization but will not hesitate to with all
fairness and candor the pretensons of all candidates
for office prior the regular nominations by a ma
ory of the People, through their delegates other
wise.
In short the editor will labor zealousIy 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, as summed up
in the simple phrase, Equal and exact justice to all
men,"
