The Ouro pREss will labor forihe estab.
lisbmen, of universal liberty and political
equality, and will advocate the measures OF
the democratic party as tho best calculated
10 advance these great principles.
The most important these measures, are
,hut 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 ether currency Than gold and
silver coin; and the state government shall
confer NO chartered or special privileges, nor
nor give amy sanction to paper currency.
The same principles govern in both ma
tional and state affairs-frst, the equal rght
ofall men to acquire and possess property,
to buy aud sell without restraint, and 10 pur-
sue any honest occupation--and secondly,
the protection The constitutional currency
from debasement by issues of bank notes.

cy of this country are con,ending, may be con
dehsed in the short expressive sentence

Of taxation, by which all will be taxed inpro-
portion 10 their wealth, and by the same uni
form law.
The PRESS will advocate the speedy call
Of convention, 10 frame constitution, I'll
for the people of Ohio, and inaccordance
with the present nligh,ened state Of political
science. .. I'll. ... egg
Our country being engaged in war, in
which it has been involved by the injustice
and stubbornness ola neighboring govern
ment, the Press will sustain the admnIslra-
ton, in its efforts TO end this war by a speedy
and honorable peace.
Since no permanent reform can be atfes-
ted that is not based upon the convictions
of the people, and scince it the first step in
political progrers, that pure principles and
measures be we'll understood by the mass Of
the voters; it will be the constant object Of
the Ohio Press to spread the knowledge ol
democratic principles and measures, by the
publication of discussions, investigations,
and facts. The weapon is truth, the object
freedom.
This is the course which the Press has
endeavered to pursue IRON us HE 81 ee'do'''h-
ment to the present time. 1t will continue
TO follow The same track, struggling Tor the
asceadancy of democratic measures ana
men. and combating with the enemies OF
truth and freedom, in whatever garb they
ma, present themselves.
