EVENING EXPRESS,
BY NJ. HARDEN ANDREW.


Ii is believed that wide field is presented at the
Prrsen Time, In the city and county OF rhnaos'Pn'a
for spirited, bold, and independent afternoon jour
nal.
The limits Of a Prospectus will not permit OF more
than brief Elk position OF the Plan aud Principles up
on which the publication viii De uhoei'aken-
The prominent feature of the paper VIII he PoLIr-
cAK. Ii will battle zealpusy for sound Republican
Democracy with view To the greatest good of the
greatest number" or TIE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
The world is indeed governed too much, and II
10 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
emanating from and controlled by the People, and
uniform in lis application to all.
1t will advocate the retention Of as much individual
liberty is consistent with the security of each men,
Der Of the Republican Confederacy.
II will respect the persons, the rights, the property
and the preudices of all.
twill acknowledge the superiority of mental pow
er, over thai of money and corporate privileges.
Ii will oppose arbitrary and unjust legislation, or
such legislation is calculated to benefit lordlng
few at the expense ofthc people as great whole
Ii will oppose The establishment Of a MONEY MA
CHINE in the shape of United States Bank Past
experience has fully taught the danger Of such in
sttuton, and revealed its coIruPtng and demorazing
tendency. 1t will support, however, any scheme OF
finance which will secure the General Government
entire control Of its funds carry its operations
without restraint, subject to such regulations as may
prevent its interpolation by Government officers
whether that scheme Of finance be denomnated The
Excheqoer," "IndcPendent Treasury" or Fiscal
Agent"
Il will s,renuously oppose all HIGH TARIFF regula-
tons, but will favor a Tariff for as much revenue
may be required to carry forward Government upon
the simple and economical principle, and at the
time afford incidental protection to American In
dustry.
It will oppose the Land Distribution scheme-the
Yobbng OF Peter to pay Paul-especially at a moment
when the General Government is largely in debt, and
suffers serious pecunary embarrassments.
IL will advocate an increase of and an improve
ment in the Navy, firmly believing that in its efiici-
sncy consists the protection Of nation from foreign
insult and aggression In TIME OF PEACE PREPARE
Yoa WAR;" was injunction of the Father Of our
Country, which should be indeIiby 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 Peope--while, at the time, it will not
hesitate expose all abuses of trust and power whe-
Their committed by the Chief Executive OF the natsn,
or any other servant Of the People.
1t will fully reveal the workings and ntrlgues of
corrupt and selfish politicians, especially when
they found endeavoring to 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 Presidency it
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
OF the sentiment in due me and act in accord
ance herewith
The paper will recognise the efficiency Of Party or
ganizaon, but will not hesitate to with all
fairness and candor the professions of all candi alcs
for office prior TO the regular nominations by ma
jority of the People, through Their delegates other
