EVENING EXPRESS,
BY NJ. HARDEN ANDREWS.
I, Is believed that a 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 ur-
ON which the publication will be undetaksn
The prominent feature Of the paper WIN DC rollrl-
IL will battle zealously tor sounu nePuo 20
Democracy with view TO the "gressesa good of inc
greatest number" or THE AMERicAN PEOPLE.
The world is indeed governed too much, and II
is equally true that power constantly stealing rom
the MANY to the few The Editor will therefore
contend f,r as little government possible that little
emsnatinp from aud controlled by the People, and
uniform in its application 10 alt
IL will advocate the retention of as much individual
liberty as is consistent with the security OF each mem
Der of the Republican Contederacy.
1t will respect the persons, he rights, the property
and the prejudlces OF all.
II will acknowledge the superiority of mental pow
er, over thai of money and corporate privileges
Ii will oppose arbitrary and unjust legislation, or
such legislation az 10 calculated 10 benefit orGllng
few at the expense ofihe people great whole.
1t will oppose the establishment of MOsEY Ma
CHINE in the shape of United States Bank. Past
experience has fully laugh, the danger If such in
stuon, and revealed its colrupng aud demoralizlng
tendency. II will support, however, any scheme Of
finance which will secure the General Government

without restraint, subject such regulations may
prevent its misapplica.ion by Government officers
whether tina. scheme of finance be denominated The
Exchequer," independent Treasury, OF Fiscal

1t will strenuousy oopose all Hon TARIFF regula-
tons, but will favor Tarf 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.
It will oppose the Land Distribution scheme-lhe
robbing of Peter to pay Paul-especially at moment
when the General Government largely in debt, and

Country, VIII oh should be indeliby impressed upon
the heart of everv true American citizen.
The paper will extend cordial support to the pre-
sent National Administration in all measures
TALLY democratic, and intended benefit the entire
American Psople-while, at the time, it will not
hesitate TO expose all abuses OF trust and power, whe-
ther committed by the Chief Executive of the natsn,
or any other servant Of the People
1t will fully reveal the workings and intrigues of
corrupt and selfish politicians, more especially when
they found endeavorng 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 established.
In regard to the candidate for the Presidency il
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 never wrong but al
ways efficient" and he is willing to abide the fulfil
ment Of the sentiment in due time and act in accord
Herewith.
The paper will recognise the efficiency of Party or
ganization, but will not hesitate with all
fairness and candor the pretensions of all candidates
for office prior to the regular nominations by ma
joIy of the People, through their delegates other
wise.
In short, the editor will labor zealousy 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, as summed up
n the simple phrase, Equal and exact justice to all
men,"
