IL is believed that wide field is presented, at The
present time, ia the city and county Of PhadePhia
for a spirited, bold, and Independent afternoon jour
nal.
The limits of Prospectus will not permit OF more
than brief Ex position OF the Plan and Principles vi
on which the publication will be undertaken
The prominent feature of the paper VIII be POLITE
IL will battle zealously fof sound hePup.leah
Democracy, with view 10 The greatest good oi 'he
greatest number" OF raE AMERICAN PEoPLE."
The world is indeed governed too much, and II
IL equally true that power is constantly stealing from
the many 10 the few" The Editor will therefore
contend fr as little government possible that little
sma mating from and controlled by the People, and
uniform 10 It's application to ALL
IL will advocate the retention Of much individual
liberty as 10 consistent with the security of each
Der Of the Republican Confederacy.
Ii will respect the persons, the rights, the property
and the prejudices Of all.
Il will ackno wledge the superiority of mental pow
er, over that Of money and corporate privileges.
II will oppose arbitrary and unjust Legislation, or
such legislation as is calculated to benefit ioroiing
few at the expense ofthe people as great whole.
IL 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
suton, and revealed its coITupting and demorazlng
tendency. 1t will support, however, any scheme Of
finance which will secure the General Government
entke control Of its funds carry its operations
without restraint, subject to such regulations as may
prevent its misapplica!ion by Government Officers
whether that scheme of finance be denomnated The
EXchequer" "lndependent Treasury" or Fiscal
Agent"
1t will srenuousIy oppose all HIdH TARIFF regula-
TONS but will favor Tanff for much revenue as
may be required 10 carry forward Government upon
the most simple and economical principle and at the
time afford incidental protection to American in
dustry.
Il will oppose the Land Distribution scheme-lhe
robbing of Peter to pay Pau-especially at moment
when the General Government is largely in debt, and
suffers serious pecuniary embarrassment
Il will advocate nm increase Of and an improve
ment in the Navy, firmly believing that in its effic-
ency consists the protection of our nation from foreign
insult and aggression. In TIME OF PEACE PREPARE
Poa WAR;" was an injunction of the Father of our
Country, VIII ch should be indelibly impressed upon
the heart of every true American citizen.
The paper will extend cordial support to the pre-
National Administration in oil measures essen
TALLY democratic and intended TO benefit the entire
American Psople-while at the same time, il will not
hesitate expose all abuses OF trust and power whe-
ther committed by the Chief Executive of the natien
any other servant Of the People.
Il will fully reveal the workings and intrigues of
corrupt and SoInSn more especially Wnen
they found endeavoring to build up splendid Go
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 for the next Presidency it
IL 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 never wrong, but al
a.. ~ IL r.. C.
Of the sentiment in due time, and act in accord
ance Herewith
The paper will recognise the efficiency of Party
ganization, but will hesitate to canvass with all
fairness and candor the preensons of all candida
for Office prior to the regular nominations by ma
joty Of the People, through their delegates other
wise.
In short, the editor will labor zeaously to advance
the moral and political happiness Of the whole People
and carry out far may be practicable the doc
trines of the Fathers of Democracy, summed up
in the simple phrase, Equal and e1ac, justice to all
men,
