dustry.
Il ~iiI oppose the Land Distribution scheme--the

suffers sefious pecuniary embarassmens
IL will advocate increase of aud an improve

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, which should be indelibly impressed upon
the heart Of eyerv true American citizen
The paper will extend cordial support to the pre-
sent National Administration in all measures
TALLY democratic, and intended TO benefit the entire
American Psople-whiIe at the time, it will not
hesitate to expose all abuses OF trust and power whe-
Their committed by the Chief Executive OF the natien,
any other servant Of the People.
Ii will fully reveal the workings and intrigues of
corrupt and selfish politicians, especially when
they found eDdeavoring TO build up splendid Go
vsrnmeDt 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 10 the candidate for the Presidency il
is somewhat premature TO declare any particular per
sonaI preference, especially when many good and
sterling Democrats ned in connection with that
office. The editor however, believes that the sober
second thought the People is never wrong but al
ways Efficient, and he Is willing to abide the fulfil
ment OF the sentiment in due lime and act in accord
ance Herewith.
The paper will recognise the efficiency of Party or
ganizaiion, but will not hesitate to canvass with all
fairness and candor the pretensions of all candidates
for office prior to the regular nominations by
joIity Of the People, through their delegates other
wise.
In short the editor will labor zealousy 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, us summed up
in the simple phrase, Equal and exact justice to all
men,"
