The world Is indeed governed % much, and II
ia eoualy true thar power constantly stealing from

contend IT. little government possible that little
eman,iing from and controlled by the People, and
uniform IN is application 10 all.
IL will advocate the retention Vt as much indiv dual
liberty consistent with the security OF each mein
Der of the Republican Conledency.
II will respect the persons he nights the property
and The pr juJces of ALL
II will acknowledge the superiority of mental pow
er, over that of money and corporate privileges
Ii will oppose arbitrary and MUST legislation, or
such legislation as is calculated to benefit loruling
few al the expense nfthe people as great whole
II 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
stuton, and revealed ITS coiruptng and demoTazinE
tendency. 1t will support, however, any scheme oi
finance which will sccurs he General Government
entire control Of It's funds, to carry on It's operations
without restraint, subject 10 such regulations as may
prevent its mlsapplicaiion by Governmen, officers
whether tina, scheme of finance be denomnated 4 he
Exchequer" 'lniependenl Treasury" or Fiscal
Agent"
Il will sfrenuousy oppose all HidH TARIFF regula-
tons bu, will favor TanT for much revenue as
may be required to carry forward Government upon
the simple and economical principle, and at The

meni in, the Navy, firmly believing that in lis eiilcl-
cncy consists the protection OF our nation from toregn
insult and agsres ION. In TIME OF PEACE PREPARE
FoR WAR" was an injunction of The Father of our
Country, VIII CHI should be indelihly impressed upon
the heat of everv true American cilizen.
The paper will extend a cordial support to the pre-
sent National Administration in all measures ESSEN
TALLY denoc rattle, and intended 10 benefit the entire
American People-whe, at the same time, j, will not
hesitate 10 expose Ill abuses OF 'rus, and power, wh.-
ther committed by the Chef Executive OF the nation,
any other seIk ant OF the People
Il will fully reveal the workings and intrigues Of
corrupt and selfish pol tcians, especially when
they aye found endeavoring TO build up splendid Go
vernment, through the and of esponsible money
power, upon foundation of Clay, without regard 10
the purify of the principles upon which the Republic
originally established.
In regard 10 the candidate Tor the next Presidency it
is somewhat premature to declare any particular per
sonal preference, especially when so many good ond
s:efng Democrats naned IN connection with that
office The editor however, believes that the sober
second thought OF the People is wrong, but al
way efficient, and he is wiling TO abide the fulfil
of the sentiment in due time, and act in accord
herewith.
The paper will recognise the efficiency Of Party or
eanizacn, but will not hesitate 20 canvass with all
fairness and candor the prete Of all cand laes
for ofice prior 10 the regular nominations by ma
jointly of the People through Their delegates other
WISE.
In short, the editor will labor zealou.ly to advance
the moral and political happiness Of The whole People
and carry out, far may be practicable the doc
TIMES of the Fathers of d, mocracy, summed up
in the simple phrase, Equal and exact justice to all
men,"
