Paper.
TO BE CALLED THE
EVENING EXPRESS,
BY M. HARDEN ANDREWS.
Ii is 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 Prospectus will not permit OF more
than brief Elk position OF the Plan and Principles up
on which the publication will be undeitAken-
The prominent feature Of the paper Will he roLiri-
IL will battle zealousiy iof sou"o NePoone a"
Democracy with view 10 The greatest good VI the
greatest number" OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE"
The world is indeed governed too much, and II
is equally true that power Is constantly stealing from
the many TO the few" The Editor will therefore
Contend Tor as little government possible that little
emsnating from aud controlled by the People, and
uniform in It's application to all.
II will advocate the retention Of as much individual
Liberty as is 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.
II will acknowledge the superiority Of mental pow
or, over that Of money and corporate privileges.
twill oppose arbitrary and unjust legislation, or
such legislation is calculated to benefit lorchDg
few at the expense of the people as great whole.
1t will oppose the establishment of MONEY Ma
CHINE In the shape Of a United States Bsnk. Past
experience has fully taught the danger 81 such an in
suton, and revealed its coiTuptng and demoralzlnc
tendency. 1t will support, however, any scheme OF
finance which will secure the General Government
entire control of its funds, carry its operations
without restraint, subject to such regulations as may
prevent its misapplication by Government Officers
whether that scheme OF finance be denominated The
Exchequer," independent Treasury" or "Fiscal
Agent"
Il will strenuousy oppose all HIoa TAnrrF regula
tons but will favor Tanf for much revenue as
may be required 10 carry forward Government upon
the most simple and economical principle, and at the
same time afford incidental protection to American In
dustry.
Il will oppose the Land Distribution scheme-,he
robbng OF Peter to pay Paul-especially at moment
when the General Government is largely in debt and
suffers sefous pecuniary ADVERTISEMENTS.
1t will advocate increase of, aud an improve
ment in the Navy, firmly believing that in It's effic-
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 indeibly impressed upon
the heart of everv true American oitizen.
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 Peope-while, at the time, it will not
hesitate TO expose all atuses of 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 intrigues OF
corrupt and selfish politicians more especially when
they found eDdeavoring 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
was originally established.
In regard to the candidate for the next Presidency
is somewhat premature to declare any particular per-
sonal preference, especially when SO many good snd
sterling Democrats named in connection with that
office. The editor however, believes that the sober
second thought OF the People 10 wrong, but al
ways efficient" and he is willing to abide the fulfil
Of the sentiment in due time and act in accord
ance herewith.
The paper will recognise the efficiency Of Party or
ganizaiion, but will hesitate to with all
fairness and candor the preensons Of all candi laes
for Office prior to the regular nominations by ma
joy Of the People through their delegates or other
wise.
In short, the editor will labor zeaously to advance
the moral and political happiness of the whole People
and Ito carry out far may be practicable the doc
trines of the Fathers Of Democracy, summed up
in the simple phrase, Equal and exact justice to all
men,"
