contend fr little government possible that little

liberty is consistent with the security of each mem
Der of the Republican Confederacy.
II will respect the persons The rights the property
and the prtjudices of all.
Il will acknowledge the superiority of mental pow

1t will oppose arbitrary and unjust legislation or
such legislation as is calculated TO benefit lordling
few al the expense ofhe people as great whole.
1t will oppose the establishment of MONEY Ma
CHINE in the shape of United States Bank. Past
experience has fully taught the danger Of such in

tendency. Ii will support, however, any scheme OF

sit will s,renuously oppose all HIGH TARIFF regula

may be required to carry forward Government upon
the most simple and economical principle, and at the
time afford incidental protection to American in

the hear, of everv true American citizen.
The paper will extend cordial support to the pre-
National Administration In all measures essen
tally democratic and intended to benefit the entire
American People-while at the time, it will not
hesitate TO pose all abuses OF trust and power whe-
iher committed by the Chief Executive of the natisn
or any other servant of the People.
1t will fully reveal the workings and intrgues of
corrupt and selfish politicians, more especially when
they found endeavoring to build up splendid Go

power upon foundation of Clay without regard to
the purity of the principles upon which the Republic
originally established.
In regard TO the candidate for the Presidency
somewhat premature to declare any particular per-
sonal 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

The paper will recognise the efficiency of Party or
ganizalion, but will no, hesitate TO with all
fairness and candor the pre,ensions Of all cand lales
for office prior to the regular nominations by
joIy Of the People, through their delegates other

In short the editor will labor zealously TO advance
the moral and political happiness of the whole People,
and TO carry out, far may be practicable the doc
