EVENING EXPRESS,
BY M. 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.
The limits of Prospectus will not permit of more
than bret Exposition OF the Plan and Principles up
on which the publication will be undertaken.
The prominent feature of the paper will be PoLrrI-
cAk. IL will battle zeaIously for sound Republican
Democracy, with view TO the greatest good of the
greatest number" or THE AMERICAN PEoPLE.
The world is indeed governed too much" and it
Is equally true that power Is constantly stealing from
the many 10 the few" The Editor will therefore
contend FIR little government as possible that little
en,anatIDg from and controlled by the People, and
uniform in lis application TO all.
1t will advocate the retention of as much ndiv dual
liberty is consistent with the security OF each
Der of the Republican Confedcracy.
1t will respect the persons, the rights, the property
and the prrudices of all.
II will acknowledge the superiority of mental pow
or, over that of money and corporate privileges.
IL wnl oppose arbitrary and unjust legislation, or
such legislation as is calculated to benefit lorGllng
few at the expense ofthe people as great whole
1t will oppose the establishment of a MONEY Ma
CHINE in tie shape of United States Bank. Past
experience has fully taught the danger Of such an In
stituiion and revealed its coIupng and demorazing
tendency. 1t will support however, any scheme OF
finance which will secure The General Government
without restraint, subject to such regulations as may
prevent its misapplication by Government officers
whether that scheme of finance be denomnated The
Exchequer," "lndependent Treasury" or Fiscal
Agent"
1t will sfrenuousy oppose all HIGH TARIFF regula-
tons, but will favor Tariff for much revenue as
may be required TO carry forward Government upon
the most simple and economical princple and at The
time afford incidental Protection to American In
dustry.
1t will oppose the Land Dislribui ion scheme-ihe
robbng OF Peter to pay Paul-especiaIly at a moment
when the General Government is largely In debt and
suffers serious pecunary embarrass nens.
Ii will advocate increase of, aud an improve
in the Navy firmly believing that in lis efticl-
ency consists the protection of our nation from foreign
insult and aggression. In TIME OF PEACE PREPARE
FOR WAR was an injunction Of the Father of our
Country, VIII CHI should be ndeibly impressed upon
the heart of eyerv true American citizen.
The paper will extend cordial support to the pre-
sent National Administration in all
tally democratic, and intended to benefit the entire
American People-whIle, 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 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 are 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
sona preference, especially when 30 many good and
sterling Democrats are named In connection with that
office The editor, however, believes that the sober
second thought Of the People wrong, but al
ways efficient and he is willing to abide the fulfil
ment of the sentiment in due tme and act in accord
ance Herewith.
The paper will recognise the efficiency of Party
ganzalion, 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
joIity of the People, through their delegates other
wise.
In short the editor will labor zealousy advance
the moral and political happiness Of the whole People
andto carry out as far may be practicable the doc
trines of the Fathers of Democracy, summed up
men,"
Ia addition to its political character, the Ex press
will contain the usual variety found in the best jour
