The world Is indeed governed much" and II
is equally true tina power is constantly stealing from

such legislation as is calculated to benefit oraling
few at the expense ofihe people great whole.

CHINE In the shape Of United States Bank. Past
experience has fully taught the danger a such in
stitution and revealed its counpng and demoralzing
tendency. II will support however any scheme of
finance which will secure the General Government

the heart of every true American citizen
The paper will extend cordial support to the pre-

TALLY democratic, and neoded benefit the entire
American People-whe, at the time, it will not
hesitate to expose oil abuses OF trust and power whe-
ther committed by the Chef Executive of the natisn,
or any other servant Of the People.
Ii will fully reveal the workings and intrigues 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
was originally established.
In regard the candidate for the Presidency il
is somewhat premature to declare any particular per-
sonaI 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 abide the fulfil
ment of the sentiment in due time, and act in accord
ance Herewith

ganzaon, but will not hesitate TO canvass with all
fairness and candor the preensons of all candidates

joIity of the People, through their delegates other
wise.
In short, the editor will labor zcaIously TO advance
the moral and political happiness of The whole People,
and carry out far may be practicable the doc
trnes of the Fathers Of Democracy, as summed up
in the simple phrase, Equal and exact justice to all
men,"
