Democracy, with view TO the greatest good of the
greatest numbern or rae AMEaIcas 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 fr as little government as possible that little
snanaling from and controlled by the People, and
uniform in its application to ALI
IL will advocate the retention Of much indiv dual

and Inc prsjudices Of all.

er, over that Of money and corporate privileges.
II will oppose arbitrary and unjust legislation, or
such legislation as is calculated To benefit lorolIng
few at the expense ofthe people as great whole.
Il will oppose the establishment Of u MONEY Ma
CHINE in the shape of United States Bank. Past
experience has fully taught the danger Of such in
s,itution and revealed its corupng and demorazins
tendency. Ii will support however any scheme Of
finance which will secure the General Government

without restraint, subject to such regulations as may
prevent its misappicaton by Government officers
whether that scheme of finance be denominated The
Exchequer," independent Treasury" or Fiscal

when the General Government is largely in debt and
suffers serious pscuniary endorsements.

Country, VIII CHI should be indeIibly 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 Peope-while, at the same time, 1t will not
hesitate expose Ill abuses of trus, and power, whe-
ther committed by the Chief Executive OF the nasn,
or any other servant of the People.
1t will fully reveal the workings and intrgues OF
corrupt and selfish politicians, especially when
they are found endeavorng To build up splendid Go
vernment, through the aid of 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 Tor the Presidency it
is somewhat premature declare any particular per
sonal preference especially when SO 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

herewith.
The paper will recognise the efficiency of Party
ganzation, but will not hesitate to with all
fairness and candor the pretensions of all candidates
for o;ice prior TO the regular nominations by ma
jority of The People, through their delegates other

In Short the editor will labor zealousy advance
the moral and political happiness of the whole People,
trines of the Fathers of Democracy, summed up
in the simple phrase, Equal and justice to all
