PROSPECTUS,

The EVENING Posr. now In its si,ty-ffth
year, having begun with this ninetee nth ccntu-
| ry, has always maintained . leading position
among the metropolitan journals.
The fearless and hearty support which it has
always given to the great principles Of gniver.
sal Justice aRd freedom has made it the almost
indispensable companion of brave and true
men, Who are more deeply interested in the
success Of principles and the progress of hu-
mainly than in the triumph of party.
During the war the Evening Post was ore Of
the most earnest and vigorous supporters Of the
cause Of the Union; it held up the hands of cur
brave soldiers in the fields, and encouraged the
hearts Of our noble men and women at home;
every project for pushing on the column had its
Jealous support; while it no less zealousy dashed
and rebuked treason in all its forms, whether
| open and courageous as at the South, or covert
and mean. as atthe North.
The great measure of the war-particulariy
the Proclamation Of Emarcipation--was early
welcomed-incessantly urged--and most joyful
ly approved by it, as the imperative need Of
the times. That other measure, no less impor-
tant, the Constitutional Amendment. has found,
in the Evening Post, its latest and most pensis-
tent, as well as its earliest and most earnest,
advocate.
At the same time, with all its enthusiasm for
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-
cal jobbery and corruption; it has insisted upon
economy in expenditures and of the strictest
adherence to the Constitution. To these prin-
ciples the Evening Post intends to adhere
Pledged to no party. and looking only to the
interests Of the whole country, now happily re.
stored and united, it will use whatever of epcr-
sy it has, and of influence it may acquire in
behalf Of
