TO BE CALLED THE
EVENING EXPRESS,
BY NJ. HARDEN ANDREWS.


It's believed that wide field is presented, at the
presen time, IN the city and county Of Philadelphia
for spirited bold and independen; afternoon jour
nal
The limits of a Prospectus will not permit of more
than brief Exposition OF the Plan and Principles up
on which The publication will be undeitaken
The prominent feature of the paper VIII he PoLIri-
cAK. Ii will battle zealously 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 il
is equally true that "power is constantly stealing from
the una nv TO the few :" The Editor will therefore
contend Ter little government possible that little
emanaiing from aud controlled by the People, and
uniform in its application to all.
IL will advocate the retention of as much indvd
liberty as is consistent with the security Of each MEM
Der of the Republican Contederacy.
will respect the PERSONS the rights, the property
and the prsjudces of all.
Ii will acknowledge the superiority of mental pow
er, over that of money and corporate privileges
IL will oppose arbitrary and unjust legislation or
such legislation is calculated to benefit oroling
few at the expense ofthe people as great whole.
IL will oppose the establishment of MONEY Ma
CHINE in the shape of United States INK. Past
experience has fully taught the danger If such in
siuon, and revealed its coruptng and demoralizing
tendency. II 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 misapplication by Government officers
whether that scheme of finance be denominaied The
Exchequer," "lndependent Treasury" or Fiscal
Agent"
Il will s,renuousIy oppose all Hon TARFF regua-
tons but will favor Tariff for much revenue as
may be required 10 carry forward Government upon
the most simple and economical principle, and at the
time afford incidental protection to American in
dustry.
/, will oppose the Land Distribution scheme-he
robbng of Peter to pay Paul-especally at a moment
when the General Government is largely in debt and
suffers serious pecunary embarrassment
II will advocate increase of, aud an improve
ment in, the Navy, firmly believing that in lis eicl-
ency consists the protection of nation from foreign
insult and aggression. In TIME PEACE PREPARE
FoR WAR" was injunction Of the Father of our
Country, VIII ch should be indelibIy 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
TALLY Democratic and intended 10 benefit the entire
American Poope-whie, at the same time, it will not
hesitate expose all abuses of trust and power whe-
Their committed by the Chief Executive of the natsn,
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
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 to the candidate for the next Presidency it
is somew hat premature to declare any particular per-
sonal preference especially when so 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
ment Of the sentiment in due time, and act in accord
Herewith.
The paper will recognise the efficiency of Party
ganization, but will not hesitate to canvass with all
fairness and candor the prelensio 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 zealousIy to advance
the moral and political happiness of the whole People,
and carry out, far may be practicable, the doc
in the simple phrase, Equal and exact justice to all
men,
