IL will acknowledge the superiority of mental pow

II will oppose arbitrary and unjust legislation, or
such legislation is calculated to benefit loroling

II will oppose the establishment of a MONEY Ma
CHINE Ia the shape of United States Bank. Pas,
experience has fully taught the danger Of such in
suon, and revealed its coiruptng and demorazing
tendency. II will support, however, any scheme OF
finance which will secure the General Government
entire control Of its funds to carry its operations
prevent its misapplicaiion by Government officers
whether that scheme OF finance be denominated The

FOR WAR;" was an Injunction of the Father of our
Country, VIII CHI should be indeliby impressed upon
tho heart of every true American citizen
The paper will extend cordial support TO the pre-
sent National Administration in all measures essen
TALLY democratic, and intended 10 benefit the entire
American Psople-while at The same time, 1t will not
hesitate to expose 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 ntrigues of
coIrupt and selfish politicians more especially when
they are found endeavoring to build up splendid Go
vernment, through the aid of an irresponsible money
power, upon foundation of Clay, without regard to
tho purity Of the principles upon which the Republic
was originally established.
In regard to the candidate for the Presidency it
II somewhat premature to declare any particular per-
souaI preference, especially when many good and
sterling Democrats are ned 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 me and act in accord
Herewith.
The paper will recognise the efficiency Of Party
eanzalon, but will not hesitate to canvass with all
fairness and candor the prcensons Of all candidates
for Office prior to the regular nominations by ma
jointly Of the People, through Their delegates or 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
srines of the Fathers Of Democracy, as summed up
in the simple phrase Equal and justice to all
men,"
