PROSPECTUS OF A NEW
EVENING EXPRESS,
BY M. HARDEN ANDREWS.


TO De CALLED THE
EVENING EXPRESS,
BY M HARDEN ANDREWS.
I,is believed that wide field is presented at the
present time Ia the city and cousty Of Philadelphia,
for spirited, bold and independent afternoon jour
nal.
The limits of Prospectus will not permit OF more
than brief Exposition OF the Plan and Principles up
on which the publication will be undertaken
The prominent feature Of the paper will be POLITE
cAx. Il will battle zealously for sound Republican
Democracy with view the greatest good Of the
greatest number THE AMEaIcAN fEoPLs,
The world 10 indeed governed too much, ana
is equally that power Is constantly stealing rom
the many 10 the few The Editor will therefore
contend lar as little government possible that little
emanatIng from and controlled by the People, and
uniform in It's application to all.
Ii will advocate the retention Of as much individual
liberty is consistent with the security OF each mem
Der Of the Republican Confederacy.
II will respect the persons the rights the property
and the prejudiccs OF all.
Il will acknowledge the superiority Of mental pow
er, over thai ofmoney and corporate privileges.
Il will oppose arbitrary and unjust legislation,
such legislation a. is calculated to benefit lordlng
few at the expense ofthe people great whole.
II will oppose the establishment Of MONEY MA
CHINE in the shape Of United States Bank Past
experience has fully taught the danger Of such an in
stitution and revealed its coIruptng and demoraizing
tendency. 1t will support, however, any scheme Of
finance which will the General Government
entire control Of its funds carry its operations
without restraint subject to such regulations as may
prevent its misappcation by Government officers
whether tina, scheme of finance be denominaied The
Exchequer," independent Treasury" or Fiscal
Agent
Il will sirenuously oppose all HIoH TARIFF regula
tons, but will favor Tariff for as much
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-the
robbing ofPster to pay Paul-especalIy at moment
when the General Government largely in debt and
suffers serious pecunary embanassmenis
Ii will advocate an increase OF, and an improve
ment in, tho Navy, firmly believing that in its efci-
ency consists the protection Of nation from foreign
insult and aggression. In TINE OF PEACE PREPARE
FoR WAR" was an Injunction Of the Father Of our
Country, which 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 essen
tally democratic, and intended 10 benefit the entire
American Psople-whe, at the same time, it will not
hesitate to expose all abuses of trust and power, whe
Their committed BY the Chief Executive of the nasn,
any other servant of the People.
Il will fully reveal the workings and intrigues of
corrupt and selfish politicians, especially when
they are found endeavorng 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 it
is somewhat premature to declare any particular per-
sona preference, especially when many good end
sterling Democrats 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
ment Of the sentiment in due time and act in accord
anse Herewith.
The paper will recognise the efficiency of Party
ganization, but will hesitate to canvass with all
farness and candor the pretensions Of all candidates
for office prior TO the regular nominations by ma
joIy Of the People, through their delegates other
wise.
In Short the editor will labor zealousIy to advance
the moral and political happiness of the whole People,
andt to carry out as far may be practicable the doc
in the simple phrase, Equal and exact justice to all
men,"
In addition TO its political character the Express
will contain the usual variety found in the best Jour
nails Of the country. Its literary, news and CONNER
cia departments will be strictly attended to- and

to the mere politician, but to all classes and condi-

in addition to the usual matters Of the day. the most
important intelligence will be presented its readers
