cAK. IL viii battle zealously for sound repuoncai
Democracy, with view TO the greatest goou oil 'h
greatest number" or THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
The world is indeed governed too much, and D
Is equally true thai power Is constantly stealing IRON
The many TO the few" The Editor will therefore
contend r little government possible that lttl,
emanaiing from and controlled by the People, and
uniform in lis application to all
Ii will advocate the retention Of as much indlv dua
liberty as is consistent with the security of each mem
Der of the Republican Confederacy.
Ii will respect the persons, The rights the property
and the pr,Judices of all.
Il will acknowledge the superiority of mental pow

II will oppose arbitrary and unjust legislation, OF
such legislation is calculated to benefit lorolng
few ut the expense fthe people as 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 an IN
stuton, and revealed It's corruphng and demorazina
tendency. IL 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 it's misapplicalion by Government officers
whether that scheme of finance be denominated The
Exchequer," independent Treasury" or "Fisca
Agent"
II will srenuousIy oppose all HIGH TARIFF regua-
tons, but will favor Tariff for much revenue as
may be required 10 carry forward Government upon
the most simple and economical principle and at the
same time AFFORD incidental protection to American In
dustry.

che heart Of everv true American citizen.
The paper will extend a cordial support to the pre-
sent National Administration in all measures essen
italy democratic, and intended 10 benefit the entire
American Poope-whe, 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 natien
or any other servant Of the People.
1t will fully reveal the workings and intrgues OF
corrupt and selfish politicians, especially when
they found endeavoring to build up splendid Go.
vernment, through the aid Of 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 it
is somewhat premature declare any particular per-
sona preference, especially when many good and
sterling Democrats named in connection with that
office. The editor however believes that the 81 sober
second thought OF the People is wrong but al
ways efficient" and he is willing to abide the fulfil
of the sentiment in due time, and act in accord
Herewith.
The paper will recognise the efficiency of Party Or
ganizaon, but will not hesitate to canvass with all
fairness and candor the pretensons of all cand lales
for Office prior to the regular nominations by
joIity of the People, through their delegates other
wise.
In short the editor will labor zealousy 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 justice all
men,"
