PROSPECTUS OF A NEW
Independent MstrOp0iitan tUo penny Afternoon
Pepper,
TO be CALLED THE
EVENING EXPRESS,
BY Nj. HARDEN ANDREWS.
II Is believed that wide field is presented, at the
prrsen tune la the city and county of Philadelphia
fr spirited bold and independent afternoon jour
nal.
The limits of Prospectus will not permit OF more
than brief Ex position OF the Plan and Principles up
on which the publication will be undertaken.
The prominent feature OF the paper will he PoIiri-
oAK. Il viii battle z-sIou~iy for sound kepublcan
Democracy, with view To the greatest good vi the
greatest number" or THE AMERIcAS PEOPLE.
The worid is indeed governed o much, and II
is equally true thai power is Constantly stealing from
the many to the few" The Editor will therefore
contend as little government possible that little
ema naiing from aud controlled by the People, and
uniform IN us application To ali.
II will advocate the retention ut as much indiv dual
Liberty as is consistent with the secury of each
Der OF the Republican Cenfederacy.
Il will respect the persons, he rights, the property
and the pr JUDGES of all
l, will acknowledge the superiority of mental pow
er, over thai Of money and corporate privileges.
Ii will oppose arbitrary and unjust legislation, or
such legislation as is calculated 10 benefit oTGling
few at the expense ofthe people as great whole.
II will oppose the establishment of MONEY Ma
CHINE in the shape of a United States b. nix. Past
experience has fully taught the danger If such In
suton, and revealed its ruptng and demoralizing
tendency. II will support, however any scheme Of
finance which will secure The General Government
entire control Of its funds to carry on ITS operations
without restraint, subject such regulations as may
prevent its misapplication by Government officers
whether that scheme of finance be denomlnateJ The
Exchequer," independent Treasury" or Fiscal
Agent"
Il will strenuousy oppose all HIGH TARIFF regula
tons, but will favor Tariff for as much revenue as
may be required 10 carry forward Government upon
the simple and economical principle, and at the
same time afford incidental protection to American In
dustry.
It will oppose the Land Distribution scheme-the
robbng OF Peter to pay Paul-especiaily at moment
when the General Government largely In debt, and
suffers serious pecuniary embarrassment
II will advocate an increase OF, aud an improve
ment in the Navy, firmly believing that in its efici-
ency consists the protection of nation from foreign
insult and aggression. In TIME OF PEACE PREPARE
Foa WAR;" was Injunction Of the Father Of our
Country, which should be indelibly 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 Psope-whlle, at the same time, 1t will not
hesitate to expose all abuses OF trust and power whe-
Their committed by the Chief Executive of the naen,
or any other servant Of the People.
1t will fully reveal the workings and intrgues OF
corrupt and selfish politicians, especially when
they found endeavoring to build up splendid Go
vernment through the aid Of an irresponsible money
power upon a foundation of Clay, without regard to
the purity Of the principles upon which the Republic
originally established.
In regard 10 the candidate for the Presidency it
is somewhat premature to 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 never wrong but al
ways efficient" and he is willing to abide the fulfil
menr Of the sentiment in due time and 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 petensions of all candidates
for office prior to the regular nominations by ma
oIty Of the People, through their delegates or 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
trines of the Fathers Of Democracy, summed up
in the simple phrase, Equal and exact justice to all
men,"

cia departments will be strictly attended to- and
