The Kalida venture. [volume] (Kalida, Ohio) 1841-1865, 1847-05-28
PROSPECTUS OF THE oHIo PRESS

The Oufo PREss will labor iorthe astab-
lishment Of universal liberty and political
Eequality, and will advocate the measures Of
the dem ecratic party as the best calculated
10 advance these eatprinciples. a8
The most important Of these measures, are
| that the tariff shall be for revenue only, and
NOT fol protection, the finances Of the United
States shall have no connection with banks,
nor with any other currency than gold and
silver coin; and the state government shall
confer no chartered or special privileges, nor
nor give any sanction TO paper currency.
l. The same principles govern in both ma
tional,and state affairs---first, The equal right
/ ofall men 10 acquire and possess properly,
10 buy and sell without restraint, and 10 pur-
sue any honest occupation--and secondly,
the protection of The constitutional currency
from debasement by issues Of bank notes.
Or the great measures for wich the democra-
cy Of this country are contending, may be con
densed in the short expressive sentence
FREE TRAnn AND HARD MONEY. .a
The PREss will contend for just system
Of taxation, by which all will be taxed in pro.
portion 10 their wealth, and by the same uni
form law.
| The PREss will advocate the speedy call
of a convention, To- frame constitution, fiji
fort the people Of Ohio, and inaccordance
with the present enlightened state Of political
science. Il. .t.~
Our country being engaged in war, in
which il has been involved by the injustice
and stubbornness ofa neighboring govern
ment, the Press will sustain the administra-
ton, in its efforts TO end this war by speedy
and honorable peace. $500. III,
Since no permanent reform can be affec-
ted, that is not based upon the c conyictions
Of the people, and scnce il the first step in
political progrers, that pure principles and
measures be well understood BY the mass Of
the voters; it will be the constant object of
the Ohio Press to spread the knowledge Of
democratic principles and measures, by the
publication of discussions, investigations,
and facts. The weapon is truth, the object
freedom. l
This is the course which the Press has
endeavored 10 pursue from its first establish
ment TO the present time. 1t will continue
to follow The same track, struggling for the
ascesdancy of democratic measures and
men. and combating with the enemies Of
truth and freedom, in whatever garb they
ma, present themselves.
The friends Of equal rights arc appealed
10, TO help in extending the circulation Of
The Press, as one means Of fading the great
cause Of democracy
