The prominent feature of the paper VIII be POLITE
cAK. Il viii battle zealoasly for sound Republican
Demoeracy, with view the greatest good of the
greatest number" or rHg AMERICAN PEOPLE.
The worid 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 fr as little government as possible that little
emanaiing from and controlled by the People, and
uniform ~ us application 10 all.
liz will advocate the retention of as much individual
liberty a. consistent with the security of each
Der of the Republican Confederacy.
1t will respect the persons, The rights, the property
and the preIudices Of ALL
Il will acknowledge the superiority of mental pow
er, over thai OF money and corporate privileges.
IL will oppose arbitrary and unjust legislation, or
such legislation is calculated to benefit lor1ling
few at the expense oflhe people as great 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 an in
slitutlon and revealed its coruptng and demoralixng
tendency. IL will support however any scheme Of
finance which will The General Government

without restraint, subject to such regulations as may
prevent its misapplica,on by Government officers

when the General Government is largely in debt and
suffers serious pecuniary advertisements.
1t will advocate increase of, aud improve
ment in the Navy, firmly believing that in its eihci-
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 Oh should be indeibly 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 TO benefit the entire
American Peopie-while, at the same tme it will not
hesitate expose all abuses of trust and power whe-
Their committed by the Chief Executive OF the natisn
any other servant Of the People.
1t will fully reveal the workings and ntrigues of
corrupt and selfish politicians, more especially when
they are 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 to the candidate for the next Presidency il
is hat premature 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 fnlh.-
ment OF the sentiment in due time, and act ia accord
ance Herewith.
The paper will recognise the efficiency of Party or
ganization, but will no, hesitate to canvass with nil
fairness and candor the preensons of all candidates
for office prior TO the regular nominations by ma
oIty 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 may be practicable, the doc
trines of the Fathers of Democracy as sumncd up
in the simple phrase, Equal and justice to all
men,"
