BY NJ. HARDEN ANDREWS.

Ii 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 brief Ex position OF the Plan and Principles up
on which the publication will be under taken
The prominent feature of the paper will be PoLIrI-
cAK. II will battle zealousy for sound Republican
Democracy, with view TO the "greales, good of the
greatest number" OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE"
The world is indeed governed too much, and II
is equally true that power is constantly stealing from
the many to the few" The Editor will therefore
contend for as little government possible that little
emanating from and controlled 10y the People, and
uniform in It's application to all.
Ii will advocate the retention of as much ndlvldu
liberty consistent with the security of each mem
Der of the Republican Confederacy
Ii will respect the persons, The rights, the property
and the prejudices of all.
IL will acknowledge the superiority OF mental pow
er, over that of money and corporate privileges
1t will oppose arbitrary and unjust legislation, or
such legislation is calculated To benefit lordling
few at the expense ofthe people great whole.
1t will oppose the establishment OF MONEY MA
CHINE in the shape of a United States Bank. Past
experience has fully taught the danger of such an IN
stuton, and revealed its corTupng and demoralzlng
tendency. 1t will support, however, any scheme of
finance which will secure the General Government
entire control of its funds carry its operations
without restraint subject to such regulations may
prevent its misapplication by Government officers
whether that scheme of finance be denomlnated The
Exchequer," "lndependent Treasury" Fiscal
Agent"
1t will s,renuously oppose all HIGH TARIFF regula-
tons, but will favor u Tariff for much revenue
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
robblng of Peter to pay Paul-especlay at a moment
when the General Government, is largely in debt and
suffers serious pecuniary embarrassments.
1t will advocate increase of, and an improve
men in, the Navy, firmly believing that in It's eiiic-
ency consists the protection of nation from foreign
insult and aggression. In TIME OF PEACE PREPARE
FOR WAR" was injunction of the Father of our
Country, VIII ch should be indebly 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 PeopIe-while at the same time, it will not
hesitate to expose all abuses OF trust and power whe-
ther committed by the Chief Executive of the nstisn
or any other servant of the People.
1t will fully reveal the workings and ntrigues of
corrupt and selfish politicians more especially when
they found endeavOrlng 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 Tor the next Presidency it
is somewhat premature to declare any particular per-
sonal preference especially when SO many good and
sterling Democrats ned 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 time, and act in accord
ance Herewith.
The paper will recognise the efficiency Of Party or
ganization but will hesitate with all
fairness and candor the pretensions of all candidates
for office prior to the regular nominations by
oIty of the People, through Their delegates other
In short the editor will labor zealousy to advance
the moral and political happiness of the whole People,
and carry out, far may be practicable, the doc
trines of the Fathers of Democracy summed up
in the simple phrase, Equal and justice to all
men,"
