Democracy with view TO the greatest good vi 'h'

The world is indeed governed too nuch ana
il equally true thai power constantly stealing from
the MANY 10 the few" The Editor Will therefore
contend fr little government as possible that hsti,
emanating from and controlled by The People, and
uniform in us application To all
II will advocate the retention of as much individual
Gbey as is consistent with the security of each
Der Of the Republican Confederacy.
II will respect the persons, the rights the property
and the prejudces OF all
II will acknowledge the superiority CT mental pow
err over thai OF money and corporate privileges.
1t will oppose arbitrary and unjust legislation, or
such legislation as is calculated 10 benefit lordhng
few at the expense of the people great whole
Ii will oppose the establishment Of a MONEY Ma
CHINE in the shape of United States Bsnk. Past
experience has fully taught the danger If such an IN
s,iiution, and revealed its coupting and demoraiizne
tendency. 1t will support, however, any scheme oil
finance which will secure the General Government
without restraint, subject to such regulations as may
proven, lis misapplicaion by Government ofiicers-
whether that scheme of finance be denomlnaed The
Eschequer," "lndependent Treasury" or Fiscal
Agent"
il will sfrenuously oppose all HIGH TARRP regula-
tons but will favor Tariff for much revenue as
NAV be REQ uired 10 carry forward Government upon
the mos, ample and economical principle, and at The

Country VIII Oh should be indeIibly impressed upon
the heart of everv true American citizen
The paper will extend a cordial support TO the pre-
sent National Administration in all essen
TALLY democratic, and intended 10 benefit the entire
American Peoplewhle, at the same time, 1t will not
hesitate pose all abuses OF trust and power whe-
Their committed by the Chief Executive OF the natisn,
or any other servant of the People.
It will fully reveal the workings and intrigues of
corrupt and selfish politicians, more especially when
they are found endeavorng to build up splendid Go
vernment, through the aid Of irresponsible money
power, upon a 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 1t
is somewhat premature to declare any particular per-
sona preference, especially when SO many good and
sterling Democrats are 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
msn Of the sentiment in due time, and act in accord
ance Herewith.
The paper will recognise the efficiency Of Party
ganizaiion, but will not hesitate cHvass with all
fairness and candor The pretensons Of all candidates
for Office prior TO the regular nominations by ma
joIity of the People, through their delegates other
wise.
In short, the editor will labor zeaousy to 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 to all
men,"

nails of the country. Its literary, news, and CONNER
cIal departments will be strictly attended to- and
