IL is believed that wide field is presented at the
present 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 brief EI position OF the Plan aud Principles up
ON which the publication will be undertaken.
The prominent feature of tie paper will be PorITi-
cAK. Il will battle zealously for sound Republican
Democracy, with view TO the greatest good of the
greatest number OF THE American PEOPLE"
The world is indeed governed tho much" and il
is equally that power is antly 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 It's application To all.
IL will advocate the retention Of as much individual
Liberty as is consistent with the security Of each
Der of the Republican Confederacy.
IL will respect the persons, the rights the property
and the prtjudices of all.
Il will acknowledge the superiority of mental pow
err, over thai of money and corporate privileges.
II will oppose arbitrary and unjust legislation, or
such legislation is calculated to benefit lorGhng
few at the sxpense of.he people as a great whole.
II will oppose the establishment Of MONEY MA
CHINE in the shape Of United States Bank. Past
experience has fully taught the danger nf such in
stution and revealed its coruptng and demoralizng
tendency. II will support, however any scheme Of
finance which will secure the General Government
entire control of its funds, to carry ITS operations
without restraint subject To such regulations may
prevent its misapplcation by Government officers
whether that scheme of finance be denomnated The
Exchsquer," "Independent Treasury" or Fiscal
Agent"
IL will s'renuously oppose all Hon TARIFF regula-
tons, but will favor Tanf for much revenue

the most simple and economical principle, and at the
time afford incidental protection to American in
dustry.

robbng OF Peter to pay Paul-especially at a moment
when the General Government is largely in debt and
suffers serious pecuDiary embarrassmcnts.
1t will advocate an increase of, aud improve
ment in, the Navy, firmly believing that in its efhci-
ency consists the protection of nation from foreign
insult and aggression. In TIME OF PEACE PREPARE
Foa WAR;" was an injunction of the Father of our
Country, VIII ch 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-while, at the same time, it will not
hesitate expose all abuses OF trust and power, whe
Their committed by the Chief Executive of the natisn
OF any other servant Of the People.
1t will fully reveal the workings and intrgues of
corrupt and selfish politicians, especially when
they are found endeayoring 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 esaoiIsncu.
In regard to the candidate Tor the next Presidency it
is somewhat premature to declare any particular per-
sonal preference, especially when 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 or
ganzaon, but will not hesitate to with all
fairness and candor the pre,ensons Of all candidates
for office prior to the regular nominations by
joIiy 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 to carry out far may be practicable the doc
trnes Of the Fathers Of Democracy, as summed up
in the simple phrase, Equal and exact justice to all
men,"
In addition to its political character, the Ex press

tons of society, as complete metropolitan news
