EVENING EXPRESS,
BY Nj. HARDEN ANDREWS
It's believed that wide field is presented at tn
present time In the city AID county 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 PoLIrr
cAK. IL will battle zealously for sound Republican
Democracy, with view to the greatest good Of the
greatest number" or THE AMERICAN PEOPLE"
The world is indeed governed too much" and II
equally true that power is constantly stealing from
the many 10 the few" The Editor will therefore
contend Er little government possb' that little
emanating from and controlled by the eople, and
uniform in its application 10 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
er, over that of money and corporate privileges.
1t will oppose arbitrary and unjust legislation or
such legislation is calculated to benefit lording
few at the expense ofthe people as great whole.
IL will oppose the establishment of MONEY Ma.
CHINE in the shape Of United States Bank. Past
experience has fully taught the danger of such in
suton, and revealed lis corupng and demora Iizing
finance which will secure the General Government
entire control Of its funds carry its operations
without restraint, subject to such regulations may
prevent its msappllcation by Government officers
whether that scheme of finance be denominated The
Exchequer," "lndependent Treasury" or Fiscal
Agent"
1t will sIrenuousiy oppose all HIGH Tariff regua-
tons, bot will favor Tariff for much
the simple and economical principle, and at the
same time afford incidental protection to American in
dusry.
1t will oppose the Land Distribution scheme-the
Tobbing OF Peter to pay PauiespecialIy at moment
when the General Government is largely debt, and
suffers serious pecuniary embarTassments.

ment in, the Navy firmly believing that in its eici
ency consists the protection of nation from foreign
insult and aggression. In TIME OF PEACE PREPARE
FoR WAR" was injunction of the Father of our
Country which should be indeliby impressed upon
the heart of every true American citizen.
The paper will extend cordial support to the pre-
sent National Administration in all measures
tally democratic, and intended TO benefit the entire
American People-whe, at the same time, 1t will not
hesitate to expose all abuses of trust and power whe
ther committed by the Chief Executive of the naten,
any other servant Of the People
Ii will fully reveal the workings and intrigues of
corrupt and selfish politicians more especially when
they are found eDdeavorng to build up splendid Go
vernment through the aid of 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 declare any particular per-
sona 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 in accord
ance herewith
The paper will recognise the efficiency Of Party or
eaniraon, but will mol hesitate to with all
fairness and candor the pretensons Of all candidates
for office prior to the regular nominations by ma
joi.y Of the People, through their delegates other
wise.

the moral and political happiness Of the whole People

trines of the Fathers of Democracy, summed up
in the simple phrase Equal and exact justice to all
men,"
