PROSPECTUS OF A NEW
Iadspsndsnt Mssrepolitan too penny Afternoon
Paper,
TO BE CALLED THE
EVENING EXPRESS,
BY M. HARDEN ANDREWS.
Ills believed that wide field is presented, at tia
present time in the city and county Of Philadelphia
for spirited bold, and independent afternoon jour
nal
The limits of a Prospectus will not permit OF more
than brief Exposition OF the Plan and Principles up
on which the publication will be undertaken.
The prominent feature Of the paper WIZ 20 o.'i
cAk. Ii will battle zsalousy for sound Republican
Democracy, with view to tho "gre,es' goou " '"e
greatest number" OF THE AMERICAN rEorLha =.
The world is indeed governed TOO mucn, anu u
is equally true thai power constantly stealing from
The m.ny 70 the few" The Editor will therefore
contend III A.. little government possible that little
eman,ng from and controlled by the People, and
uniform in lis application 10 all.
II will advocate the retention IF much indlv dual
liberty as is consistent with the security of each mem
ber OF the Republican Confederacy,
It will respect ths persons, the rights, the property
and the prejudices Of all.
II will acknowledge the superiority of mental pow
err over thai Of money and corporate privileges
II will oppose arbitrary and unjust legislation, or
soch legislation is calculated to benefit orGIlng
few at the expense of.hs people great whole.
II will oppose the establishment Of MONEY Ma
experience has fully taught the danger Of such in
stuton, and revealed its coruptng and demoralzing
tendency. 1t will support however any scheme of
finance which will secure the General Government
entire control Of It's 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 denominated The
Exchequer," independent Treasury" or Fiscal

TONS but will favor Tsnf for much revenue as
may be required to carry forward Government upon
the most simple and economical principle, and at the
time afford incidental protection to American IN
dustry.
1t will oppose the Land Distribution scheme-ihe
robbing of Peter to pay Paul-especially at moment
when the General Government largely in debt, and
suffers serious pecuniary embarrassment
Ii will advocate increase of, and an improve
ment in, the Navy firmly believing that in its efci-
ency consists the protection of our nation from foreign
insult and aggression. In TIME OF PEACE PREPARE
Poa WAR;" was an injunction Of the Father of
Country, VIII ch should be indeibly impressed upon
the heart Of everv true American citizen.
The paper will extend cordial support to the pre-
sent National Administration in oil measures
TALLY democratic and intended TO benefit the entire
American Psope-while, at the same time, 1t will not
hesitate to OK pose all abuses of and power whe
ther committed by the Chief Executive of the natisn
any other servaat Of the People.
II 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 and of an irresponsible money
power, upon q foundation of Clay, without regard to
the purify Of the principles upon which the Republic
originally established.
In regard to the candidate for the next Presidency
il 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 il willing to abide the fulfil
nf aho ina anil IN
ance Herewith. ~
The paper will recognise the efficiency of Party
ganization but will hesitate to with all
fairness and cand0r the preensons of all candidates
for Office prior to the regular nominations by ma
oIy of the People through their delegates or 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
trines Of the Fathers of Democracy, summed up
in the simple phrase, Equal and justice to all
men,"
