BY NJ. HARDEN ANDREWS.


1t is 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.
ihe limits of Prospectus will not permit OF more
than brief Exposition of the Plan and Principles uf-
which the publication will be undertaken
The prominent feature OF the paper VIII be foLir-
Ii will battle zeaIously for sound Republican
Democracy with view to the greatest good OF the
greatest number" or TIE AMERICAN PEoPLE
The world is indeed governed too much, and IL
is equally true 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 its 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 prejudices of all.
/. will 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 lordllng
few at the expense of the 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
stitution and revealed its coiruptng and demorallzng
tendency. IL will support, however, any scheme OF
finance which will secure the General Government
entire control of its funds carry its operations
without restraint, subject to such regulations as may
prevent its msapplcation by Government Officers
whether that scheme of finance be denominated The
Exchequer," "mdependent Treasury" OF Fiscal
Agent"
Il will strenuously oppose all HIGH TARIFF regula
TONS but will favor Tariff for much revenue as
may be quired TO 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 Paul-especally at moment
tha(y 10 IayU in debt nd
suffers serious pecuniary endorsements.
Ii will advocate increase Of and an improve
ment in, the Navy firmly believing that in its effic-
ency consists the protection of nation from foreign
insult and aggression. In TIME OF PEACE PREPARE
FOR WAR" injunction of the Father of our
Country VIII oh should be indeliby impressed upon
the heart Of every true American citizen.
The paper will extend cordial support to the pre-
sent National Administration in all essen
tally democratic, and intended to benefit the entire
American People-whe, at the time, it will not
hesitate expose all abuses of and power, whe-
ther committed by the Chief Executive of the natsn,
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 endeavorng 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 1t
is somewhat premature to 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 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
ganizaon, but will not hesitate to with all
fairness and candor the pretensions of all candidates
for office prior to the regular nominations by ma
jorty of the People, through their delegates other
wise.
In short, the editor will labor Zeaousy to advance
the moral and political happiness of the whole People,
and to carry out far may be practicable the doc
trines Of the Fathers Of Democracy, as summed up
in the simple phrase, Equal and justice to all
men,"
