by M. harden ANDREWS.
Itis believed that wide field is presented at the
prrsen 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 boei Exposition OF the Plan and Principles up
on which The publication will be undertaken.
The prominent feature of thepaper VIII he PoLiri-
cAK. Il viii battle zealou.y for sound Republican
Democracy, with view to the grea,es, good Of the
greatest number" or THE AMgaIcAs PEOPLE"
The world l. indeed governed to much" and il
is equally true that power Is consa ntly stealing from
the mar y 10 the few" The Editor will therefore
contend IL a. little government possible tina, little
emanaling from and controlled by the People, and
uniform 10 is application to all.
II will advocate the retention Of much indiv dual
Liberty is consistent with the security Of each
Der of the Republican Confederacy.
Il will respect the persons ,he rights, the property
and the pr.judices Of all.
II will acknowledge the superiority of mental pow
er, over thai Of money and corporate privileges.
Il will oppose arbitrary and unjust legislation, or
such legislation - calculated 10 benefit orulng
few at the expense oflhe people great whole.
1t 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 in
s.uon, and revealed its colruptng and demoralizlng
tendency. II will support, however, any scheme OF
fnauce which will secure the General Government
entire control Of its funds to carry its operations
without restraint, subject to such regulations as may
prevent its misapplication by Government officers
her that scheme Of finance be denominated The
Exchcquer," "indcpendent Treasury" or Fiscal
Agent"
Il will s,renuously oppose all HIGH TARIFF regua-
tions, but will favor Tan6 for much revenue as
may be required 10 carry forward Government upon
the most simple and economic al prin pe, and at the
same time afford inc dental protection TO American in
dustry.
Il will oppose the Land Distribution scheme-he
robbing Of Peter to pay Paul-especally at moment
when the General Government is largely in debt, and
suffers serious pecuniary embarrassmen's.
Il will advocate on increase of, aud an improve
ment in the Navy, firmly believing that in its effci-
ency consists the protection Of nation from foreign
insult and aggression. In TIME or PEACE PREPARE
FOR WAR;" was an injunction of the Father of our
Country, VIII CHI should be indelibly impressed upon
the heart of evev 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 Psope-while, at the same time it will not
hesitate TO expose all abuses OF trust and power whe-
thef committed by the Chief Executive of the natsn,
OF any other servant Of the People
1t will fully reveal the workings and intrgues of
corrupt and selfish politicians, more especially when
they are found endeavorng to build up splendid Go
vernmeut through the aid Of an irresponsible money
power, upon foundation of Clay, without regard to
the purity Of the principles upon which the Republic
was originally established.
In regard 10 the candidate Tor the next Presidency
is somewhat premature to declare any particular per-
sonal preference, especially when SO 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
msnt OF the sentiment in due lime, and act in accord
ante Herewith.
The paper will recognise the efficiency Of Party or
ganiza,ion but will not hesitate to canvass with all
fairness and candor the peiensions of all cand lales
for office prior 10 tho regular nominations by ma
joIy 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,
trnes Of the Fathers Of Democracy, as summed up
in the simple phrase, Equal and exact justice to all
men,
In addition to its political character, the Express

cia departments, will be strictly attended to, and
