nal
The limits of Prospectus will not permit OF more
than brief Exposition OF the Plan and Principles up
which the publication will be undertaken
The prominent feature of the paper VIII De POLITE
cAk. IL will battle zealously for sound Republican
Democracy with view the greatest good OF the
greatest number or THE American PEOPLE
The world is indeed governed too much, and II
is eoually true thai "poer constantly stealing from
IN. nany 10 the few ;" The Editor will therefore
contend fr as little government possible that little
emanaiing from aud controlled by the People, and
uniform IN IFS application TO ALL
IL will advocate the retention Of as much ndiv
liberty as is consistent with the security of each
her of The Republican Confederacy.
1t will respect the persons, he rights, the property
and the pr ludices of all.
Ii will acknowedge the superiority of mental pow
er, over tina, of money and Corporate privileges.
IL will oppose arbitrary and unjust legislation, or
such legislation as is calculated benefit oroiIng
few at the expense oflhe people great whole
IL will oppose the establishment of a MONEY Ma
CHINE in the shape Of a United States Bank. Past
perence has fully taught the danger Of such IN
silulon, and evealed its conuptng and demorazlng
tendency. IL will support however, any scheme OF
finance which will secure The General Government
entire control Of It's funds To carry It's operations
without Amt, subject to such regulations may
prevent its misapplication by Government officers
whether that scheme of finance be denominated The
Exchequer," "lndependent Treasury" Fiscal
Agent"
Il will strenuousy oppose all HI0H TARIFF regula-
tons, but will favor Tanf for as much revenue as
may be required TO carry forward Government upon
the most simple and economical principle, and at The
time afford cidental protection to American In
dustry.
1t will oppose the Land Distribution scheme-the
Tobbing OF Peter TO pay Paul-especially at moment
when the General Government largely in debt and
suffers serious pecuniary embaTassncnts
Ii will advocate increase OF, aud an improve
rent in, the Navy, firmly believing that in It's efcl-
ency Consists the protection of nation from foreign
insult and aggression. In TIME OF PEACE PREPARE
For WAR; was injunction of the Father of our
Country, VIII CHI should be indelibly impressed upon
the heart Of everv true American citizen.
The paper will extend cordial support to the pre-
sent National Administration in all measures essen
italy democratic and intended to benefit the entire
American Psope-whe, at the same time, it will not
hesitate expose all abuses Of trust and power, whe-
ther committed by the Chief Executive OF the naen,
o any other servant of the People.
1t will fully reveal the workings and intrgues OF
corrupt and selfish politicians, especially when
they are found endeavorng 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
was originally established.
In regard to the candidate for the next Presidency ii
is somewhat premature to declare any particular per
sonal preference, especially when many good and
sterling Democrats are 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
of the sentiment in due time, and act ia accord
ance Herewith.
The paper will recognise the Efficiency of Party or
ganization but will not hesitate to canvass with all
fairness and candor the preensons Of all candidates
for ogice prior to the regular nominations by ma
joIi,y of the People through their delegates other
wise.
In short, the editor will labor zealously TO advance
the moral and political happiness of the Whole People
andto carry out far may be practicable the doc
trines of the Fathers Of Democracy, as summed up
in the simple phrase, Equal and exact justice to all
men,"
