1t is believed that wild field is presented at thu

which the publication will be undertaken
The prominent feature Of the paper VIII be foLTl-

The world is indeed governed too much" and u
is equally that power Is constantly stealing from
the many 10 the few" The Editor will therefore
contend fr tile government as possible that little

twill acknowledge the superiority of mental pow
er, over that OF money and corporate privileges
Ii will oppose arbitrary and unjust legislation, or
such legislation is calculated TO benefit orolins
few at the expense of the 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 an IN
sttuiion and revealed ITS coirupng and demoralzing
tendency. 1t will support, however, any scheme OF
finance which will secure the General Government
without restraint, subject to such regulations as may
prevent its misapplication by Government officers
whether lha, scheme of finance be denominated The
Exchequer," "lnJependent Treasury" or Fiscal
Agent"
Hft will strenuously oppose all Hon TARIFF regula-
tons, but will favor Tariff for as much revenue as
may be required TO carry forward Government upon
the most simple and economical principle, and at the
time afford incidental protection to American In
dustry.
1t will oppose the Land Distribution scheme-ihe

when the General Government is largely in debt, and
suffers serious pecuniary endorsements.
Ii will advocate an increase of, aud an improve

ency consists the protection of nation from foreign
insul, and aggression. In TIME or PEACE PREPARs
For WAR;" was injunction of the Father of our
Country, VIII CHI should be indelibly impressed upon
the 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 TO benefit the entire
American People while, at the tme it will not
hesitate expose all abuses OF trust and power, whe-
Their committed by the Chief Executive of the nallen
or any other servant of the People.
1t will fully reveal the workings and intrgues of
corrupt and selfish politicians, especially when
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
was originally established
In regard to the candidate for the next Presidency il
is somewhat premature to declare any particular per-
sonal preference, especially when so many good and
sterling Democrats are 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
msnt OF the sentiment in due time, and act in accord
ance Herewith.
The paper will recognise the efficiency of Party or
ganiza,ion but will not hesitate to canvass with all
fairness and candor the preiensons Of all candidates
for oaice prior to the regular nominations by ma
joIy 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
irines of the Fathers Of Democracy, as summed up
in the simple phrase, Equal and exact justice to all
men,"
