II is believed that wide field is presented, at 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 up
on which the publication will be undertaken.
The prominent feature Of the paper WIN ne rolIr'-
cAK. Ii will battle zealousIy for sound hepublican
Democracy, with view to the greatest good Of the
greatest number" OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
The world is indeed governed too much, and II
is equally that power Is constantly stealing rom
the many 10 the few" The Editor will therefore
contend E,r as little government possible that little
emanalinQ from and controlled by the People, and
uniform in its application to all.
1t will advocate the retention Of as much individual
liberty as is consistent with the security of each mem.
Der OF the Republican Confederacy.
II will respect the persons the rights the property
and the prsjudices Of ALL
II will acknowledge the superiority of mental pow
er, over that ofmoney and corporate privileges.
II will oppose arbitrary and unjust legislation, or
such legislation is calculated to benefit lorGng
few at the expense ofthc people 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 an in-
stluton, and revealed its coirupting and demoralizng
tendency. II 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 msapplcation by Government officers
whether that scheme of finance be denominated The
Exchequer," Independent Treasury or Fiscal
Agent"
It will sfrenuously oppose all HIou TARIFF regula-
TONS but will favor a Tariff for 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-ihe
llxy nj
when the General Government is largely in debt and
suffers serious pecuniary endorsements.
Il will advocate increase of, aud an improve
ment in the Navy, firmly believing that in its effci-
ency consists the protection of our nation from foreign
insult and aggression. In TIME OF PEACE PREPARE
roR 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
TALLY democratic, and intended to benefit the entire
American Psople-while, at the same time II 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 intrgues Of
corrupt and selfish politicians, especially when
they 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
originally established.
In regard to the candidate for the next Presidency it
somewh hat 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 lme 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 candidate
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, far may be practicable, the doc
trines Of the Fathers Of Democracy, summed up
in the simple phrase Equal and exact justice to all
men,"
