The prominent feature of the paper VIII he POLITE
cAK. IL Will battle zeaously for sound Republican
Democracy with view TO the greatest good Of the
greatest number" or THE AMERio.s People
The world ; indeed governed too much, and II
is equally true thai power constantly stealing from
the many 10 the few" The Editor will therefore
contend f,r little government possible that little
emanaiing from add controlled by the People, and
uniform in lis application 10 all.
|, will advocate the retention of as much individual
Liberty is consistent with the security of each
Der of the Republican Confederacy.
IL will respect the PERSONS The rights, the property
and the prejudees of all.
II will acknowledge the superiority of mental pow
er, over that Of money and corporate privileges
Ii will oppose arbitrary and unjust legislation,
such legislation as is calculated to benefit orGlIng
few at the expense ofthe people as great whole
Ii will oppose the establishment of a MONEY Ma
CHINE in the shape of United States Bank. Past
experience has fully taught the danger of such in
stitulion and revealed s coTuptng and demoralizing
tendency II will support, however any scheme OF
finance which will secure he General Government mt
entire control of its funds to carry It's operations
without restraint subject to such regulations as may
prevent its misappcation by Government officers
whether that scheme of finance be denominaied The
Exchequer," Independent Treasury" or Fiscal
Agent.
II will strenuously oppose all HIGH TARIFF regua-
TONS but will favor u Tanff for much
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.

For WAR" was Injunction Of the Father Of our
Country, VIII CHI should be indelbly 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 Poople-while at the time, il will not
hesitate to expose all abuses Of trust and power whe-
ther committed by the Chief Executive Of the natisn,
or any other servant Of the People.
1t will fully reveal the workings and intrgues OF
corrupt and selfish politicians more especially when
they are found endeavoring 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
originally established.
In regard to the candidate Tor the next Presidency
is somewhat premature to declare any particular per.
sona preference, especially when SO 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 fulfil
of the sentiment in due time and act in accord
ance Herewith
The paper will recognise the efficiency of Party
ganzaon, but will not hesitate to canvass with all
fairness and candor the preeDsions 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 to advance
the moral and political happiness of the whole People,
and carry out far may be practicable, the doc
trnes of the Fathers of Democracy, summed up
in the simple phrase, Equal and exac. justice to all
men,"
