PROSPECTUS OF 
The Evening Post, which becjan with the century, and is 
now sixty-seven years of age, does not intend to grow slug¬ 
gish and supine with the advance of years, but to rival in 
vigor, enterprise, vivacity and independence the most active 
of its contemporaries. Its editorial department shall be as 
ably organized and as energetically conducted as it ever has 
been; our telegraphic reports, both by the Atlantic Cable 
from abroad and by the various domestic lines from Wash¬ 
ington, Albany, the East, the West and the South, shall be 
as full as they can be made; our city and country news shall 
be as various and interesting as the events admit; our cor¬ 
respondence from Europe and the principal home cities will 
be improved and increased; while our agricultural, com¬ 
mercial, shipping, market and other reports shall be' as 
trustworthy and complete as industry and the expenditure 
of money can make them. We have the means, through 
the generous and unabating patronage of our friends, of 
rendering our journal the equal of any in the world, and we 
have the ambition of doing so, as rapidly as the progress of 
business and the taste for newspaper literature will justify 
additional attempts. 
It is understood, we suppose, that while the Evening Post 
aims to be primarily a newspaper in which the current 
events of world-history, political, commercial, scientific, 
social and literary, are recorded or glanced at, it is also 
emphatically a political paper. It cannot separate itself 
from the life of our times, and particularly from the life of 
our country, and it must discuss questions of public interest 
with all the earnestness, all the intelligence, all the force 
that it can muster and their importance may seem to demand. 
ITS CREED. 
What its principles in politics are, have been long known. 
They may be summed up in few words: National Unity; 
State Independence, and Individual Freedom and Equality 
of Rights. The perpetuity and supremacy of’ the Union, as 
the guaranty of our national strength and glory; the Inde¬ 
pendence of the States, in all their local affairs, as the guar¬ 
anty against an oppressive and dangerous centralization; 
the Freedom and Eouality of the Individual, without regard 
to birth or accident, as the rightful end of all government, 
and the surest means of social development, personal happi¬ 
ness and national progress. 
These are our general principles, but in the application of 
them we shall insist upon the honorable payment of our 
public debts; the retrenchment of expenditures; the most 
rigid economy of administration; impartial taxation; and 
integrity and capacity, not partisan service, as the grounds 
of appointment to office. We hold that the supreme end of 
all government is to define, decree and execute justice 
among all its members. All partial laws are iniquitous; 
all special privileges a wrong ; all interference with the 
natural development of industry, and an unrestricted ex¬ 
change of the fruits of that industry, an usurpation of pow¬ 
er and a pernicious impertinence. We believe, too, that 
every member of society, who contributes to its support or 
its defence, should be progressively admitted to a partici¬ 
pation in its political control. In other words, equal rights, 
impartial laws, freedom from unjust and unnecessary con¬ 
straints, and universal suffrage, are our mottoes now, as 
they have been our mottoes in the past, and, as we trust, 
they will be our mottoes in the future.
