The Express makes the eighteenth paper pub

and they were only issued weekly. We make
a few extracts from the Express. In the "sa-
lutatory" it says:
We shall not advocate measures which we
believe anti-democratic, anti-republican, or
immoral in their tendencies merely to subserve
party purposes or to crafty the selfishness Of
debased party leaders.
We shall not advocate or defend the viola
ton of solemn compromises, nor defend the
forcible extension of human bondage over ter
ritory heretofore consecrated to Freedom on
Ebe ground that it is democratic or in accord
ance with the spirit of our free institutions.
'.We shaH not support VIGOROUSLY corrupt
and unprincipled men for Office no matter to
what party they belong. or in what disguise
1key ask fer public confidence.
I'd" We shall not sustain combinations who for
sinister purposes, seek to array one portion of
Onr citizens against another and control the
political destnies of our country by secret
councils which shun the test of public scrutiny.
Eve shall mt sustain intemperance. nor Op-
pose such wholesome restrictions as may even
tually free our land from its witbering curse"
