EVENING EXPRESS,
BY M. HARDEN ANDREWS.
Its believed that wide field is presented at the
present 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 brief Elk position OF the Plan and Principles up
on which the publication will be undertaken.
The prominent feature of the paper will he PoLITi-
oak. 1t will battle zealousy for sound Republican
Democracy, with view 10 the greatest good OF the
greatest number" or THE AMERICAN PEOPLE"
The world is indeed governed too much, and 1t
lis equally that power Is constantly stealing from
the many to the few" The Editor will therefore
contend for as little government possible that little
emanating from and controlled by the People, and
uniform in us application to all
IL will advocate the retention of much ndiv dual
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 prejudices of all.
IL will acknowledge the superiority of mental pow
er, over that OF money and corporate privileges
IL will oppose arbitrary and unjust legislation, or
such legislation as is calculated to benefit ordllng
few at the expense fthe 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 in
stituon, and revealed its coruptng and demoraiizng
tendency. 1t will support, however any scheme of
entire control of its funds to carry its operations
without restraint, subject to such regulations may
prevent its misappiication by Government officers
whether that scheme of finance be denominated The
Exchequer," Independent Treasury" or Fiscal
Agent"
1t will strenuousIy oppose all HIGH TARIFF regula-
tons but will favor a Tariff for as much revenue
may be required 10 carry forward Government upon
the most simple and economical principle, and at the
time afford incidental protection to American IN
dustry.
1t will oppose the Land Distribution scheme-the
robbing of Peter to pay Pau-especiay at moment
when the General Government is largely. in debt and
suffers serious pecuniary embarrassnens.
1t will advocate an increase of, and an improve
ment in the Navy firmly believing that in its efic-
ency consists the protection of our nation from foreign
insult and aggression. In TIME OF PEACE PREPARE
FOR WAR" was an injunction of the Father of our
Country VIII oh should be indelbly 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 PeopIe-whle, at the same time, it will not
hesitate to expose all abuses OF trust and power whe
ther committed by the Chief Executive Of the natisn;
any other servant Of the People.
1t will fully reveal the workings and ntrigues of
corrupt and selfish politicians more especially when
they are found endea voring to build 10 spendd 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
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
ment of the sentiment in due time, and act in accord
ance Herewith.
The paper will recognise the efficiency of Party or
ganization but will not hesitate to with all
fairness and candOr the prete Of all candidates
for Office prior to the regular nominations by a ma
joy of the People, through their delegates other
wise.
In short, the editor will labor zealously 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, as summed up
in the simple phrase Equal and exact justice to all
men,"
