EVENING EXPRESS,
BY NJ. HARDEN ANDREWS.

II is believed that wide field is presented at ih.
preseni time in the city and county Of Philadelphia
for spirited, bold and independent afternoon jour
nal.
The limits Of Prospectus will not permit of more
than bef Exposition OF the Plan and Principles U
which the publication will be undertaken.
The prominent, feature of the paper will be poLIri-
cAK IL viii battle zealously for sound kepuohcan
Democracy, with view TO the greatest good OF the
greatest number" THE American PEOPLE
The world is indeed governed too much, and Il
is equally true that "power constantly stealing from
the many to the few" The Editor Will Therefore
contend f4 little government as possible that te
emanating from and controlled by the People, and
uniform in It's application TO all
Ii will advocate the retention OF as much individual
Liberty as is consistent with the security of each mem
Der Of the Republican Confederacy.
1t will respect the persons, the nights the property
and the prejudices 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, or
such legislation is calculated benefit loTGhng
few at the expense ofthe people great whole
II will oppose the establishment of a MONEY Ma
CHINE in the shape of United States b NIX. Past
experience has fully taught the danger Of such an in
stiIu,ion, and revealed IT'S coiruPhng and demorszing
tendency. Ii Will support, however, any scheme Of
finance which will secure he General Government
entire control of its funds, carry its operations
without restraint subject to such regulations as may
prevent its msapplcation by Government officers
whether that scheme OF finance be denomnated The
EIchequer," "lndependent Treasury" or Fiscal
Agent"
IL will s'renuously oppose all HlGH TARIFF regula-
tons, but will favor Tanf for much revenue as
may be required carry forward Government upon
the mos, simple and economical principle, and at The
time afford inc dental protection TO American IN
dustry.
It will oppose the Land Distribution scheme-he
robbing OF Peter to pay Paul-especialy at moment
when the General Government is largely In debt, and
suffers sefious pecuniary embluassnenis.
Ii will advocate increase Of ac1 an improve
men in, the Nay, firmly believing that in It's eict-
ency 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 ndebly impressed upon
the heart of every true American citizen.
The paper will extend cordial support to the pre-
National Administration in all measures essen
TALLY democratic, and intended TO benefit the entire
American People-while at the same time, II will not
hesitate expose all abuses OF trust and power whe
Their committed by the Chief Executive of the natien
or any other servant of the People.
1t will fully reveal the workings and ntrigues of
corrupt and selfish politicians, more especially when
they 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
was originally established.
In regard to the candidate for the next Presidency
is somewhat premature declare any particular per-
sonal 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 n due Time, and in accord
ance herewith.
The paper will recognise the efficiency Of Party or
ganization but will no, hesitate to canvass with all
fairness and candor the preteDsions of all candidates
for osice prior to the regular nominations by ma
joIny of the People, through their delegates other
wise.
In short the editor will labor zealously 10 advance
the moral and political happiness of the whole People
ppd to carry out, far may be practicable, the doc
Zines of the Fathers of Democracy, summed up
In the simple phrase, Equal and exact justice to all
men,"
