EVENING EXPRESS,
BY NJ. HARDEN ANDREWS.
II is believed that wide field is presented at thu
prrsen 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 bret Exposition OF the Plan and Principles up
on which the publication will be undertaken
The prominent feature of the paper viii be POLITE
cAK IL Will battle zealously for sound tepupi'eah
Democracy, with view the ''greaiest good OF the
greatest number" or American PEOPLE
The world is indeed governed to much, and IL
is equally true that power Is constantly sealh9 rom
the many to the few" The Editor will therefore
contend fr little government possible that little
emanaling from and controlled by the People, and
uniform in It's application To ALL
IL will advocate the retention Of as much ndivdua
liberty consistent with the security OF each mem
Der of the Republican Conederacy
IL will respect the persons, the rights, the property
and he pr Judices OF all.
1t will 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 oroling
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
sttuton, and revealed its coiuptng and demorazIns
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 It's msapplca,ion by Government officers
whether that scheme of finance be denomnated The
Exchequer," independent Treasury" or Fiscal
Agent"
1t will srenuously oppose all IiIoH TARIFF regula
tions, but will favor Tariff for much revenue as
may be required TO carry forward Government upon
the simple and economical principle, and at the
time afford incidental protection TO American IN
dustry.
It will oppose the Land Distribution scheme-ihe
robbing of Peter TO pay Paul-especiay at moment
when the General Government is largely in debt, and
suffers serious pecuniary embarTassmcnts.
ii will advocate an increase OF, aud an improve
ment in, the Navy, firmly believing that in It's effic-
ency consists the protection of our nation from foreign
insult and aggression. In TIME OF PEACE PREPARE
FOR WAR" was Injunction Of the Father of our
Country, VIII CHI should be ndelbly impressed upon
the heart of everv 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 time, it will not
hesitate to expose all abuses of trust and power, whe-
ther committed by the Chief Executive Of the nasn,
any other servant of the People.
1t will fully reveal the workings and intrigues OF
corrupt and selfish politicians, more especially when
they are found endeavorng 10 build up splendid Go
Nernment, through the aid Of irresponsible money
power, upon a foundation OF Clay, without regard to
the purity Of the principles upon which the Republic
originally established.
In regard to the candidate for the Presidency it
is hat premature to declare any particular per
sona preference, especially when SO many good and
sterling Democrats 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 tulh-
OF the sentiment in due time, and act la accord
ance herewith
The paper will recognise the efficiency Of Party
ganzaon, but will not hesitate to canvass with all
fairness and candor the pretensions of all candi ales
for Office prior to the regular nominations by ma
joity of the People, through their delegates or other
In short the editor will labor zealousIy to advance
the moral and political happiness of The whole People
and to carry out far may be practicable, the doc
trines of the Fathers of Democracy summed up
in the simple phrase, Equal and justice to all
men,
