liberty is consistent with the security of each
Der of the Republican Coniederacy.

FoR WAR" Injunction of the Father of our
Country, VIII CHI should be indeibly impressed upon
the heat Of evcrv 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 Psope-while, 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 natsn,
any other servant Of the People.
Ii will fully reveal the workings and intrigues of
corrupt and selfish politicians, more especially when
they found eDdeavoring to build up splendid Go
vernmenf through the aid of an irresponsible money
power, upon foundation Of Clay, without regard to
the purity Of the principles upon which the Republic
originally established.
In regard to the candidate for the next Presidency it
is somewhat 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
msns OF the sentiment in due ,me and act in accord
ance Herewith.
The paper will recognise the efficiency of Party
ganization but will not hesitate to with all
fairness and candor The preensons of all cand lates
for office prior to the regular nominations by ma
joIty of the People, through their delegates other
wise.
Ia Short the editor will labor zeaousy to advance
the moral and political happiness of the whole People,
and carry out, far may be practicable the doc
trines of the Fathers Of Democracy, summed up
in the simple phrase, Equal and exact justice to all
men,"
