guiding star Of our nation, and the hope OF
humanity
To.ensure the fruits of this victory
to hold the recipients of the peoples ia
vor to rigid accountability-to assist
to defeat the future wiles and machina-
tons of the class who are to reap the be-
neft of partial legislation and special pri-
vileges through the medium of Banking
Funding, restrictive Tariff, or other mo-
nopolozing systems and to use all homo
rable means TO perpetuate the ascendancy
of the principles of his party-is now the
duty of every democrat. To these puT-s
poses we pledge ourself as the conductor
of a democratic press.
Wehave borrowed our motto
g That government is best which governs Ieast,''
from periodical the pride and boast, and
an honor to the literature, Of the Ameri-
can Democracy. In illustration of this,
we shall defend "the broadcast liberty of
the citizen, compatible with the organic
law and the most simple government
which will secure public safety.
Essential to the success of our institu-
tons, and to the progress of our principles,
is the establishment of a system of Free
Schools. To effect this, we offer yea
lous cooperation with the press of the
State. II is much to the discredit of this
favored section of the Union, that we have
no successful system of public instruction,
and the press of both political parties, can
not be engaged in a more profitable SER
vice than that Of arousing our people to
the importance of placing the acquisition
of knowledge within the reach of all.
We believe that the creation of public
debt for purposes ether than the general
defence, or to defray the actual expenses
of government, is beyond the power of the
constituted authorities, at war with the
spirit of our Institutions, calculated in the
end TO reduce the people TO vassalage-
and we shall oppose all laws to levy
taxes to pay the principal or interest of
ESQ called) debts heretofore contracted in
violation of the Constitution and laws of
the State.
Believing union and concession neces-
sary to party organization, we shall support
such nominees as may be designated by
a majority of the party in convention
the nominees being orthodox in their po-
liiical faith.
The paper will not be entirely devoted
TO the discussion of political subjects
We shall have an eye TO other matters
calculated TO instruct or interest; and
articles, original and selected, in Agricul-
ture, Science, Literature, &c. will be fur
nished, with a chronicle ofpassing events,
and other matters within the sphere of
newspaper.
