\, is believed that wide field is presented, at the
present time Ia 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 T. position OF the Plan and Principles up
on which the publication will be undertaken.
The prominent feature of the paper viii he PoLITi-
cAK. Ii will battle zealously for sound Republican
Democracy with a view TO the greatest good Of the
greatest number" or THE AMERICAN PEOPLE"
The world is indeed governed too much, and il
is equally that power is antly stealing from
the many to the few" The Editor will therefore
contend fr little government possible that little
emanaling from and controlled by the People, and
uniform in It's application TO ali.
II will advocate the retention Of as much individual
Liberty Is consistent with the security of each
Der of the Republican Contederacy.
Ii will respect the PERSONS the rights the property
and the pr, JUDGES of all.
Il 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 lorIling
few at the espense of,he people as great whole
II will oppose the establishment of a MONEY Ma
CHINE in the shape of nied States Benk. Past
experience has fully taught the danger of such n-
stilu,ion, aud revealed its colruptng 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 It's misappcation by Government, officers
whether that scheme of finance be denomnated The
EI,s.quer," independent Treasury" or Fiscal
Agerl.
Il will o fenuously oppose all HIGH TARIFF regula
tons but will favor a Tanf for as much revenue as
may be required 10 carry forward Government upon
the most simple and economical principle, and at The
same time afford incidental protection To American in
dustry
II will oppose the Land Distribution scheme-the
robbing OF Peter 10 pay Paul-especiay at a moment
when the General Government, is largely in debt, and
suffers serious pecuniary embarTassmenis.
Ii will advocate on increase of and an improve
ment in the Navy, firmly believing that in lis efici-
ency consists the protection of 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 ndelibly 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 Peope-whilc at the same time 1t will not
hesitate to expose all abuses OF trus, and power, whe
Their committed by the Chief Executive of the nasn,
or any other servant Of the People
1t 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
originally established.
In regard the candidate for the next Presidency it
is somewhat premature to declare any particular per-
sonal 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 to abide the fulfil
Of the sentiment in due time, and act In accord
herewith
The paper will recognise the efficiency of Party or
ganzaon, but will not hesitate TO capvass with all
fairness and candor the prelensons 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 zealously advance
the moral and political happiness Of the whole People,
and to carry out far may be practicable the doc
trines of the Fathers Of Democracy, summed up
in the s'mpic phrase, Equal and exact justice TO all
Gen."

cia departments, will be strictly attended to, and eve
ry effort used to render the paper acceptable not only
