BY NJ. HARDEN ANDREWS.
Ii is believed that a wide field is presented al ih'
present time, Ia the city and county OF fhiiadePhia
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. Ii will battle zealously Tor sound hepuolcan
Democracy with view 10 the greatest good of the
greatest number" or rHE AMERICAN PEOPLE"
The world is indeed governed to much" and il
is equally true that power Is constantly stealing from
the many TO the few" The Editor will therefore
contend fr little government possible that little
emanaiing from and controlled by the People, and
uniform in i's application to all.
Ii will advocate the retention of as much individual
liberty consistent with the security of each mem.
Der of the Republican Confederacy
IL will respect the persons, the rights, the property
and The prejudces of all.
twill 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 orelins
few at the expense Of the people as great whole.
Ii will oppose the establishment of a MONEY MA
CHINE in The shape Of a United States Bank. Past
experience has fully taught the danger Of such an IN
stiturion and revealed lis coiuptng and demorazlng
tendency 1t will support however, any scheme OF
finance which will secure the General Government
entire control Of its funds TO carry its operations
without restraint subject to such regulations as may
prevent its uisapplication by Government oficers-
whether that scheme OF finance be denomnated L he
Exchequer," "lndependent Treasury, or Fiscal
Agent"
1. 1t will sirenuously oppose all HiGH TARIFF regua-
tons but will favor Tanff for as 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-he
robbng OF Peter to pay Paul especially at moment
when the General Government is largely in debt, and
suffers serious pecunary embarrassnenis
Ii will advocate an increase OF, aud an improve
ment in the Navy, firmly believing that in It's efici-
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 indeliby impressed upon
the heart of everv true American citizen.
The paper will extend cordial supper. to the pre-
sent National Administration in all measures essen
TALLY democratic and intended 10 benefit the entire
American Peope-whe, at The same time, II 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 iDtrigues OF
corrupt and selfish politicians, especially when
they found endeavoring to build up splendid Go
yernment through the aid of an irresponsible money
power, upon a 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 il
Is somewhat premature to declare any particular per-
sonal preference, especially when many good and
sterling Democrats are 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 wiling to abide the fulfil
OF the sentiment in due Tine and act in accord
ance herewith.
The paper viii recognise the efficiency of Party or
ganzaon, but will not hesitate to canvass with all
fairness and candor the preiensions of all cand lacs
for o9ice PRIOR TO the regular nominations by ma
joli'y OF the People, through their delegates other
wise.
In short, the editor will labor zealous!y to advance
the moral and political happiness of the whole People,
and TO carry out far may be practicable the doc
trnes of the Fathers Of Democracy, summed up
in the simple phrase, Equal and exact justice to all
men,"
