In Politics, it will advocate the Rights OF

Class Legislation, the Scfshness Of Capital,
the Tyranny of Combination, the Oppression OF

IL will hold no fellowship with the Wing
and Democratic organisations believing that
the main issues on which they have been ar
rayed against each other are obsolete or settled,
and that they are now chiefly used by the Sec
tional Interest Of Slavery, 70 impair the love Of
Liberty natural to the American mind, and to
subiuease the American People to its rule Dis
claiming all connection with them It will yet
svmpathize with those Of their adherents who
are honestly seeking through them TO advance
the substantial interests Of the country, although
il must believe that they have not chosen tho
better way.
1t will be supporter Of the Independent
Democracy, which holds that tho Truths OF tho
Declaration Of Independence are practical that
in their light the Constitution of the United
States is to be interpreted; that to them tho
laws and institutions and usages of the country
shonld be oonformcd--a Party, whose motto

sake Of Freedom and Progress; and Ldac, not

In Literature, it will aim to unite the Beau-

everyday life.
Able correspondents, at homo and abroad,
have been secured, and ample provision has

lie upon the surface, and from its position be

Of the Federal Government in relation to all
questions ut issue between Liberty and Slavery.
The extensive subscription OF the Weekty
