PROSPECTUS OF THE ONO Press.

The Onro Press will labor fer the estab-
lishmcnt Of universal liberty and political
equality, and will advocate the measures of
the democratic party az the best calculated
10 advance these great principles.
The most important Of these measures, are
that the tariff shall be for revenue only, and
not foI protection, the finances Of the United
States shall have no csnnoetisn with banks,
nor with any other currency than goio anu
silver coin; and the state government shall
confer no chartered orspecial privileges, nor
nor give any sanction to paper currency
The same principles govern in both ma
tisnal and state atairs--frst, the equal right
ofali men to acquire and possess property,
TO buy and sell without restraint, and to pur-
sue any honest occupatlon--and secondly,
the protection ofthe constitutional currency
from debasement by issues Of bank netes.--
Or the great measures for wich the democra-
cy Of this country are contending, may be con
denssd in the short expressive sentence
FREE TRADE AND HARD MONEY.
j, The Pass will contend for a just system
Of taxation, by which all will be taxed in pro-
portion TO their wealth, and by the same uni
form law.
The Press will advocate the speedy call
of convention, to frame constitution, fit
for the people Of Ohio, and in accordance
with the present enlightened state of political
science, m 5ala
Our country being engaged in war, in
which il has been involved by the injustice
and stubbernness ofa neighboring govern
ment, the Press will sustain the adminstra-
tion, in its efferts 10 end this war by speedy
and honorable peace.
Since no permanent reform can be aifee-
ted, that is not based upon the convictions
of the people, and scince il the first step in
political progrers, that pure principles and
measures be well understood by the mass Of
the voteis; it will be the constant object Of
the Ohio Press to spread the knowledge oi

publication of discussions, investigations
and facts. The weapon is truth, the eblec'
