Iii believed that wide field is presented, at The
presen time, IN 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 fnno'p'e' w
on which the publication will be undertaken
Tie prominent feature OF the paper VIII he POLITE
cAK. II will battle zealously for sound hepuoi'ean
Democracy, with view 10 The "grea.ss' goou oil tue
greatest number or THE AMERICAS PEOPLE.
The world is indeed governed 10 much, ana II
ia eo,,Iv i,us thai "power is constantly stealing from
the many 10 the few" The Editor VIII therefore
contend r as lille government as possible that little
emana,ing from aud controlled 10y the People, and
uniform ia us application TO al!
Ii will advocate the retention at as much indv dual
liberty as is consistent with the security of each
Der of the Republican Confederacy.
1t will respect the persons, he rights, the property
and The prsjudices of all.
II viii acknowledge the superiority of mental pow
er, over that OF money and corporate privileges.
II will oppose arbitrary and unjust Ieg'sla,ion or
such legislation is calculated To benefit louhng
few at the expense of,he people as great whole
II will oppose the establishment Of a MoAEY Ma
CHINE in the shape of a United States bepk. Fast
experience has fully taught the danger II such an IN
stulon, aud revealed us corupn ny and demoralizne
tendency. II will support, however any scheme at
finance which Will The General Government
entire control Of its funds, TO carry on ITS operations
without restraint subject such regulations as may
proven, its misapplicalion by Government officers
whether that scheme of finance be denomlnaed The
Exchequer," "lndependenr Treasury" or Fiscal
Agent
Il will strenuously oppose all HIGH TARIFF regula-
tons but will favor a Tanff for as much revenue as
may be required 10 carry forward Government upon
the most simple and economical principle, and at the
same time afford incidental protection to American IN
dustry.
1t will oppose the Land Distribute" seheme-'he
robbng of Peter to pay Paul-especially at moment
when the General Government is largely in debt and
suffers serious pecuniary embarrassment
II will advocate an increase of, AID an improve
ment in, the Navy, firmly believing that in It's effcl-
ency consists the protection of nation from foreign
insult and aggression. In TIME OF PEACE PREPARE
FoR WAR;" was an Injunction Of The Father of our
Country, VIII CHI 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
italy democratic, and intended 10 benefit the entire
American Psope-whie, at the same time, II will not
hesitate expose all abuses OF trust and power, whe-
ther committed by the Chief Executive OF the nation,
or any other servant Of the People.
1t will fully reveal the workings and intrgues OF
corrupt and selfish politicians, more especially when
they found endeavOring TO build up splendid 90
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
originally established
In regard to the candidate Tor the Presidency
is somewhat premature to declare any particular per
sonsl preference, especially when so many good and
sterling Democrats named in connection with that
office. The editor however believes that the sober
second though, OF the People is never wrong but al
ways efficient" and he is willing to abide the fulfil
ment OF the sentiment in due time and in accord
Herewith.
The paper will recognise the efficiency of Party or
ganizalion but will not hesitate to 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 or other
wisc
In short the editor will labor zealously advance
the moral and political happiness of the whole People
and carry out far may be practicable the doc
trnes Of the Fathers of Democracy, as summed up
in the simple phrase, Equal and exact justice all
men,"
In addition 10 its political character the Express
will contain the usual variety found in the best jour
nails OF the country Its literary, news, and CONNER
cal departments will be strictly attended to, and
ny effort used render the paper acceptable not only
to the politician, but to all classes and condl
tons Of society, as complete metropolitan news
