EVENING EXPRESS,
BY NJ. HARDEN ANDREWS.
II is believed tina, wide field is''presented, at the
present time, IN the city and county Of philadelphia
for spirited, bold and independent afternoon jour
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 Will be PoLITi-
cAK. Ii will battle zealously for sound Republican
Democracy, with view to the greatest good oi the
greatest number" THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
The world is indeed governed too much, and II
is equally true that power constantly stealing from
the many to the few" The Editor will therefore
contend for little government possible that little
emanating from and controlled by the People, and
uniform in lis application to all.
IL will advocate the retention of as much individual
liberty is consistent with the security of each
Der of the Republican Confederacy.
1t will respect the persons the rights, the property
and the prejudices of all.
Ii will acknowledge the superiority of mental pow
er, over that Ofmoney and corporate privileges.
IL will oppose arbitrary and unjust legislation or
such legislation as is calculated to benefit lordling
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 corupng and demoralizlng
tendency. 1t 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 its msappicaton by Government officers
whether that scheme OF finance be denominated The
Exchequer," independent Treasury" or Fiscal
Agent"
1t will sirenuously oppose all HIGH TARIFF regula-
tons, but will favor Tariff for as much revenue as
may be required 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 ofPeter to pay Paul-especally at moment
when the General Government is largely in debt and
suffers serious pscuniary embanassmcnts.
IL will advocate an increase Of and an improve
ment in the Navy, firmly believing that in Its efiic-
ency consists the protection of our nation from foreign
insult and aggression. In TINE OF PEACE PREPARE
PoR WAR" was an Injunction of the Father of our
Country, VIII oh should be ndebly impressed upon
the heart of every true American citizen.
The paper will extend cordial support to the pre-
sent National Administration in all measures essen
TALLY democratic, and intended to benefit the entire
American People-whlle at the same time, 1t 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 ntrigues 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.
is 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
ways efficient" and he is willing to abide the fulfil
of the sentiment in due tme and act in accord
ance Herewith.
The paper will recognise the efficiency Of Party
ganization but will not hesitate to canvass with all
fairness and candor the preensons Of all candidates
for Office prior to the regular nominations by ma
jory 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,
and to carry out far may be practicable the doc
trnes of the Fathers of Democracy summed up
in the simple phrase, Equal and exact justice to all
men,"
