experience has fully taught the danger If such in

tendency. Ii will support, however any scheme of
finance which will secure The General Government

tally democratic, and intended TO benefit the entire
American Poople-whe, at the time, it will not
hesitate to expose ali abuses OF trust and power, whe
ther committed by the Chief Executive OF the nasn,
or any other servant Of the People
IL will fully reveal the workings and intrigues Of
corrupt and selfish politicians, especially when
they found eDdeavoriay to build up splendid Go
vernment, through the ai of an 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 il
is hat premature to declare any particular per
sonal preference, especially when many good and
sterling Democrats named IN injection 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
ganizaion, but will not hesitate to canvass with all
fairness and candor the pretensions of all cand aies
for office prior TO the regular nominations by
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 carry out, far may be practicable the doc
,rines of the Fathers of Democracy, summed up
in the simple phrase, Equal and justice to all
men,"
