Indsvsndsns Mstropolitan too penny Afternoon
Paper,
TO BE CALLED THE
EVENING EXPRESS,
BY M. HARDEN ANDREWS.
Ills 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 a Prospectus will not permit OF more
on which the publication will be undertaken.
The prominent feature of the paper will he PoLri-
cAK. IL viii battle zralousIy for sound Republican
Democvacy with view the greatest good VI the
greatest number" or THE AMERICAS PEOPLE.
The world is indeed governed too much and II
is equally true that power constantly stealing from
the many to the few" The Editor will therefore
contend fr little government possible that little
emana,ing from aud controlled by the People, and
uniform in It's application to all.
Ii will advocate the retention Of as much individual
liberty is consistent with the security of each
Der of the Repuiica Confederacy.
II will respect the persons, the rights, the property
and the prejudces 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 as is calculated to benefit lorGhng
few at the expense ofthe people as grea, whole
IL will oppose the establishment of a MONEY Ma
CHINE in the shape Of United States Bank. Past
stitntion and revealed It's colrupting and demorallzn
tendency. 1t will support, however, any scheme OF
finance which will secure the General Government
entire control Of its funds TO carry on its operations
without restraint, subject to such regulations as may
prevent its msapplication by Government officers
whether that scheme of finance be denominated The
Exchequer," "lndependent Treasury" or Fiscal
Agent"
1t will srenuously oppose all HIGH TARIFF regula-
TONS but will favor Tariff for much revenue as
mi he YeuuIred q forward Government upon
the most simple and economical principle and at the
time afford incidental protection TO American in
dusry.
1t will oppose the Land Distribution scheme-ihe
robbing of Peter to pay Paul-especialy at moment
when the General Government is largely in debt and
suffers serious pecuniary embarassments.
1t will advocate increase of, aud an improve
ment in, the Navy firmly believing that in its etiic-
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 oh should be indelibIy 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, it will not
hesitate to expose all abuses of trust and power whe-
ther committed by the Chief Executive Of the natisn,
or any other servant of the People.
1t will fully reveal the workings and ntrigues 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 the candidate for the next Presidency it
is somewhat premature to declare any particular per-
sonai 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 due lme and act in accord
ance Herewith
The paper will recognise the efficiency of Party Or
ganizaion, but will hesitate to canvass with all
fairness and candor the preeDsons Of all candidates
for office prior to the regular nominations by ma
jory of the People, through their delegates other
wise.
In short, the editor will labor zealously 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
In the simple phrase, Equal and exac. justice to all
men,"
In addition to lis political character, the Express

nails OF the country. It's literary, news, and CONNER
cial departments, will be strictly attended to- and eve
