on which the publication viii be undei'aken'
The prominent feature OF the paper VIII he foLiri-
cAK. Ii will battle zealously for sound hepuoiean
Democracy, with view TO the greatest good oi the
greatest number" or THE AMERICAS PEOPLE,
The world is indeed governed too much and II
The many 10 the few !" The Editor will therefore
contend as little government as possible that little
emanating from and controlled by the People, and
uniform in is application TO all.
n will advocate the retention of as much indv dual
liberty a. is consistent with the security of each
Der of the Republican Confederacy.
Ii will respect the persons, the rights, the property
and the pre- JUDGES of all
1, will acknowledge the superiority of mental pow
er over that OF money and corporate privileges.
II will oppose arbitrary aud unjust legislation
such legislation is calculated to benefit lordng
few at the expense of,he people as grea, whole.
II will oppose the establishment OF MONEY Ma
CHINE in the shape of United States b. NIX. Past
experience has fully taught the danger Of such in
s tuition, and revealed IFS coruptng and demoralizng
tendency. 1t will support, however, any scheme of
finance which will secure he General Government
entire control of its funds, to carry on ITS operations
prevent lis msapplcation by Government, officers
whether lha, scheme of finance be denominated The
Exchequer," independent Treasury" Fiscal
Agent"
It will srenuously oppose all HIGH TARIFF regula-

the most simple and economical principle and at the
time afford incidental protection to American in

when the General Government largely in debt and
suffers serious pecunlary embaTrassmcnts.
1t will advocate increase Of, aud an improve

ency consists the protection of nation from foreign
insult and aggression. In TIME OF PEACE PREPARE
FoR WAR;" was an Injunction of the Father of our
Country, VIII oh should be indeibly impressed upon
the heart of eyeTv 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, it will not
hesitate to expose all abuses OF trust and power whe-
Their committed by the Chief Executive of the natisn,
or any other servant Of the People.
Ii will fully reveal the workings and intrigues of
corrupt and selfish politicians especially when
they 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
originally established.
In regard the candidate for the Presidency it
somewhat premature to declare any particular per-
sonal preference, especially when many good and
sterling Democrats named in injection 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
ganiza,on, but will not hesitate to with all
fairness and candor the preensions of all candi ]ates
for office prior to the regular nominations by
joiy of the People, through Their delegates or other
wise.
In short, the editor will labor zealously to advance
the moral and political happiness of the whole People,
andO carry out, as far may be practicable, the doc
lines of the Fathers of Democracy as summed up
in the simple phrase, Equal and justice to all
men,"
In addition to its political character, the EXP press
will contain the usual variety found in the best jour
malls of the country. It's literary news, and CONNER
cial departments, will he strictly attended to, and
~ effort used to render the paper acceptable not only
to the politician, but to all classes and condi-
lions of society, as complete metropolitan
