EVENING EXPRESS,
BY NJ. HARDEN ANDREWS.


Iii believed that wide field is presented, at the
presep time, IN The city and county VI Phiadephia
for spirited, bold and independent afternoon jour
nal.
The limits of a Prospectus will no, permit of more
than bret Exposition OF the Plan ana Principles up
on which The publication VIII be undertaken
ibe prominent feature Of the paper v ~ he PoLiTI-
cAK. Ii viii battle zealously for sound Republican
Democracy with a view TO the greatest good Of The
greatest number" OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE"
The world is indeed governed too much" and it
is equally true that power is constantly stealing from
the many TO the few" The Editor will therefore
contend fr little government possible that little
emanaling from and controlled by the People, and
uniform in its application To all.
Ii will advocate the retention Of as much individual
liberty is consistent with the security of each mem.
Der of the Republican Confederacy.
IL will respect the persons, the rights, the property
and the prejudces Of ALL
Il will acknowledge the superiority of mental pow
er, over thai money and corporate privileges.
Il will oppose arbitrary and unjust legislation, or
such legislation is calculated to benefit lorGlng
few at the expense ofthe people 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 an in
s,itution and revealed its coTruptng and demorazing
tendency II will support, however, any scheme of
finance which will secure the General Government
entire control of its funds carry its operations
without restraint, subject to such regulations as may
prevent its msapplicaiion by Government officers
whether that scheme of finance be denomnated The
Exchequer," Independent Treasury" or Fiscal
Agent"
Il will s,renuously oppose all HiaH TARIFF regula
tons, but will favor Tanf for as much revenue as
may be required TO carry forward Government upon
the simple and economical principle and at The
time afford incidental protection to American in
dustry.
1t will oppose the Land Distribution scheme--the
robbng OF Peter to pay especially at moment
when the General Government is largely in debt, aud
suffers serious pecuniary eDbarrass'ncnis.
1t will advocate an increase of aud an improve
ment in the Nay, firmly believing that in it's eici-
ency consists the protection of our 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 indeliby 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 Peopfe-whle, at the same time it will not
hesitate to 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 intrgues Of
corrupt and selfish politicians, especially when
they are found endeavorng to build up splendid Co.
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
is hat premature to 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
men Of the sentiment in due time, and act in accord
ance Herewith.
The paper will recognise the efficiency Of Party
gnnizaion, but will not hesitate to canvass with all
fairness and candor the pretensions 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 zealousy to advance
the moral and political happiness of The whole People,
and to carry out far may be practicable the doc
trnes Of the Fathers Of Democracy, as summed up
y the simple phrase, Equal and exact justice to all
men,"
