fhe limits of Prospectus will not permit Of more
than brief Ex position OF the Plan and Principles W
which the publication will be undertaken
The prominent feature OF the paper Will be foLri-
cAK. 1t will battle zeaously for sound Republican
Democracy, with view TO the greatest goou VI Tue
grentest number or THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
The world is indeed governed too much, and u
is equally true that power is constantly stealing from
the many TO the few" The Editor will therefore
contend fr as little government as possible that little
emanating from and controlled by the People, and
uniform in its application to all.
IL will advocate the retention ot as much individual
liberty as is consistent with the security Of each
Der of the Republican Confsderacy.
It will respect the persons, the rights, the property
and the pr.judices Of all.
Il will acknowledge the superiority of mental pow
err over that of money and corporate privileges.
II Will oppose arbitrary and unjust legislation or
such legislation is calculated benefit ordllng
few at the expense ofthe people grea, whole.
IL will oppose the establishment Of MONEY Ma
CHINE in the shape of United States Bank. Past
experience has fully taught the danger of such in
stutlon, and revealed its coruptng and demoralizing
tendency. II will support, however any scheme OF
finance which will secure the General Government
entire control Of It's funds carry its operations
without rosi amt, subject such regulations as may
prevent its mlsapplcalion by Government officers

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.
1t will oppose the Land Distribution scheme-lhe
robbing Of Peter to pay Paul-especialy at momen.
when the General Government is largely in debt, and
suffers serious pecuniary embanassmenis
Ii will advocate increase Of, and an improves
ment in the Navy, firmly believing that in its efici-
ency consists the protection of nation from foreign
insult and aggression. In TIME OF PEACE PREPARE
FoR WAR;" injunction Of the Father of our
Country, VIII CHI 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
TALLY democratic, and intended to benefit the entire
American Psople-while, at the same time, 1t will not
hesitate pose all abuses of trust and power whe-
ther committed by tho Chief Executive Of the nasn,
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
vcrnment, 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 il
ia 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
ment Of the sentiment in due time and act in accord
an0e herewith.
The paper will recognise the efficiency Of Party or
ganization, but will not hesitate to canvass with all
fairness and candor the pretensions Of all candidates
for Office prior to the regular nominations by ma
joy 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 IS may be practicable the doc
trines Of the Fathers Of Democracy, summed up
in the simple phrase, Equal and justice to all
pen."
