PROSPECTUS.

THE EVENING Posr, now in its si.,vssh
year, having begun with this nineteenth cen,u.
ry, has always maintained leading posit;on
among the metropolitan journals.
The fearless and hearty support which Il b,s
always given to the great principles of upiver.
sal justice and freedom has made it the almos,
indispensable companion Of brave and trps
men, who are more deeply interested in the
success Of principles and the progress Of I'm.
manity than in the triumph of party.

liberty and Union, the Evening Post did not
close its eyes to the dangers of an abuse OF
power; it was the enemy Of all undue exercise
Of the central authority, of all kinds of polit

economy in expenditures and of the strictest
adherence to the Constitution. To these prin.
ciples the EvesiEg Post intends to adhere.

interests Of the whole country, now happily re.
