PROSPECTUS OF A NEW
kadspsndsnt Mstrcpoiitan too penny Afternoon
Paper,
TO BE CALLED THE
EVENING EXPRESS,
BY NJ. HARDEN ANDREWS.

Ills believed that wide field is presented at the
presen' time, IN the city and county Of Philadelphia
for spirited, bold, and independent afternoon jour
nal.
The limits Of a Prospectus will not permit OF more
than bne Exposition OF the Plan and ffincipes ny
on which The Modification will be undertaken.
Tie prominent feature OF the paper VIII he PoLiri-
c,K II will battle zralousy for sound Republican
Democracy, with view to the greatest good oil the
greatest number" or THE AMERICAN PEOPLE"
The world is indeed governed to much, and II
is equally true that power is anty stealing from
the many to the few" The Editor will therefore
contend for little government possible that little
emanang from and controlled by the People, and
uniform in It's application To all.
IL will advocate the retention If as much individual
liberty is consistent with the security Of each mem.
Der of the Republican Confederacy.
Ii will respect the persons, he rights the property
and The pr JUDGES of ALL
II will acknowledge the superiority of mental pow
er, over thai of money and corporate privileges.
1t will oppose arbitrary and unjust legislation, or
such legislation is calculated To benefit ioralng
few at the expense ofthe people grea, whole.
1t 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 an IN
suton, and revealed It's coiruptng and demoraizlng
tendency. 1t will support, however, any scheme OF
finance which will secure The General Government
entire control of its funds, carry its operations
without restraint, subject such regulations as may
prevent its misapplica.ion by Government officers
whether that scheme of finance be denominated The
Exchequer," independent Treasury, or Fiscal
Agent"
Ii will srenuously oppose all HIGH TARIFF regula-
tons, but will favor Tanl for much revenue as
may be required TO carry forward Government upon
the most simple and economical principle, and at the
same time afford incidental protection TO American in
dustry.
1t will oppose the Land Distribution scheme-the
robbing ofPeler to pay Pau-especialIy at moment
when the General Government is largely in debt, and
suffers serious pecuniary embarrassments.
Ii will advocate an increase OF, and an improve
ment in, the Navy firmly believing that in It's eici-
cncy consists the protection of our nation from foreign
insul and aggression. In TIME OF PEACE PREPARE
FoR WAR;" was injunction of the Father of our
Country, VIII CHI should be indelibly 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 10 benefit the entire
American People-while, at the same time, 1t will not
hesitate TO expose al abuses OF trust and power whe-
ther committed by the Chief Executive OF the natisn
or 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 endeavOring to build up splendid 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 the candidate for the next Presidency it
is somew hat premature TO declare any particular per-
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
herewith.
The paper will recognise the efficiency of Party or
ganizalioD, but " i'll not hesitate to canvass with all
fairness and candor the prelensions of all candi laes
for Office prior to the regular nominations by ma
joiy of the People, through their delegates other
wise.
In short, the editor will labor zeaously to advance
the moral and political happiness of The whole People,
and to carry out far may be practicable the doc
IN the simple phrase, Equal and exact justice to all
hnen."
In addition to its political character the Ell press
will contain the usual variety found in the best jour
nails of the country. Its literary, news and CONNER
cal departments, will be strictly attended TO, and eve
ry effort used to render the paper acceptable not only
to the mere politician, but to all classes and condl-
