Der Of the Republican Confederscy
Ii viii respect the persons, me righsi the property
anil The pr lulices OF all.
Il Will acknowledge the superiority OF mental pow
er, over thai of money and corporate privileges.
II viii oppose arbitrary and unjust legislation, or
such legislation as is calculated 10 benefit loTcng
few at the expense ofthe people great whole
II 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
siiuion, and revealed us corruping and demora!izng
tendency. II will support, however, any scheme of
finance which will secure the General Government
entire control Of its funds to carry its operations
without restraint subject to such regulations may
prevent its msappcation ny Government officers
whethe that scheme of finance be denomin ated The
Exchequer,p "lndeIendent Treasury" Fiscal
Agent"
Ii will strenuously oppose all HIGH TARrr regula-
tons but will favor Tariff for much revenue as
may be required To carry forward Government upon
the most simple and economical principle, and at the
time afford incidental protection Ia American in
dusiry.
1t will oppose the Land Distribution scheme-he
robbing of Peter to pay Paul-especially at moment
when the General Government Is largely In debt aud
suffers serious pscuniary embarYassmenis.
IL will advocate increase Of, aud an improve
in, the Nary, firmly believing that in its efici-
ency consists the protection of our nation from foreign
insult and aggression. In TIME OF PEACE PREPARE
Foa WAR" was injunction Of the Father Of our |
Couniry VIII CHI should be indelibly impressed upon |
the heart of every true American citizen.
The paper will extend cordial support to the pre-
sen, National Administration in all measures essen
TALLY democratic and intended 10 benefit the entire
American PoopIe-whe, at the time, it will not |
hesitate expose all abuses OF trust and power whe
ther committed by the Chief Executive OF the nation
any other servant Of the People.
Ii will fully reveal the workings and intrigues of
corrupt and selfish pol cians especially when |
they are found endeavorng to build up a splendid Go
vernment through the aid Of an irresponsible money
power upon foundation of Clay, without regard to |
the purify Of the principles upon which the Republic
was originally established.
In regard to the candidate for the next Presidency it |
is somew hat premature to declare any particular per-
sonal preference, especially when many good and
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
OF the sentiment in due time and act in accord
anee herewith.
The PAPER will recognise the efficiency of Party or
ganlzaiioD, but will not hesitate canvass with all
fairness and candor the preensons Of all cand laes
for office prior to the regulas nominations by ma
oIty OF the People, through their delegates or other
wise.
In short the editor will labor zeaousy 10 advance
the moral and political happiness of the whole People
and to carry out far may be practicable the doc
TIMES of the Fathers Of Democracy, as summed up
in the simple phrase, Equal and exact Justice to all
men,"
