PEOSPECTITS OF A NEW WEEKLY DEMOCRATIC JOT 7 BNAL , to be entitled The FRIEND OF THE PEOPLE . Ideas propounded , discussed , accepted—behold the only ' enduring foundation on which revolutions in government and ' society can be securely based . The most glorious struggles to destroy oppression have resulted either in total failure , bitter f disappointment , or fearful reaction , because the lons-suffenng t millions have lacked the knowledge necessary to enable them to distinguish between pretended and real reforms , —between their ' true friends and those political charlatans who , masquerading in 1 the guise of liberalism , traffic in the misplaced confidence of the people . The advocates of Democratic Reform and Social Regeneration I can hope for real and permanent success only through the general adoption of their principles . To expound and propagate those principles Democratic journals must be multiplied . The Press , that great engine of moral power , must be employed . s more effectively than hitherto it has been , to spread abroad the t all-saving truths of Democracy . Theories of political and social justice will be transformed into practical realities , the moment » the great mass of the people are imbued with a correct knowledge of their rights , and are made to comprehend the means by which they may work out their own emancipation . Impressed with the views indicated rather than fully set forth in the foregoing observations , we whose names are hereunto > subscribed have advised Julian Harney and Krnest Jones to respond to the many appeals made to them from all parts of the country , to combine their energies for the production of a journal calculated to elevate and advance the People ' * cause . Having ¦ constituted ourselves a Committee to aid them in this enterprise , | we have the pleasure of announcing that a New Weekly Newspaper of large size , to be entitled , THE FRIEND OF THE PEOPLE , edited by Julian Harnet and Ernest Jones , will be published immediately adequate support is guartmteed by the Local Committees at present formed , and in course of formation . The elaborate details usually set forth in a prospectus may very well be dispensed with in the present instance . The title of the projected journal has already the significance of a banner ; f and the names of the Editors afford a sure guarantee that ita columns will be devoted to the exposition and advocacy of uncompromising Democracy and the Social Rights of the Millions . Without , therefore , entering into minute particulars , it will he sufficient to state that the Friend of the People will include in its leading features the following : — I . Chartist Organization and Progress ; under which head ¦ will be given a full and impartial account of all Chartist proceedings , together with original papers elucidating and vindicating the principles of the Charter , on the ground both of ri ? ht and utility . The substitution of the Democratic principle of popular election in place of hereditary and c'ass usurpation in connection with governmental arrangements will be strenuously advocated . II . Social Rights . —National proprietorship in the soil will , be unceasingly contended for and familiarly popularized . The natural right to labour , and the consequent means of facilitating the exchanges of products , will find the Friend of the People a ready and fearless exponent . III . Cooperative Progress and Associative Labourimportant phases of the age , will be earnestly advocated . Cooperative and Industrial Associations , Trades Unions , &c , will find the proposed journal a faithful organ of their principles and proceedings . IV . European and American Democracy . —To afford a correct representation of the movements of the Democrats of Continental Europe and America will be one of the primary objects of the Frihnd of the People . Original source ? of intelligence being at the command of the Editors , they will be enabled to give full and correct information of the aims and struggles of the Republicans , Socialists , Agrarian Reformers , and Communists of Europe and the United States . Lastly , it is intended to make the projected journal a medium of intercommunication between the Democratic and Social Reformers of all countries . Due space will be allotted to Literature and the Fine Arts . In conjunction with the useful and instructive , the romantic and entertaining will not be lost sight of . Besides developing the above-mentioned features , the Friend of the People will be a complete news-paper , and will contain reports of the Debates in Parliament , Public Meetings , &c , also Legal , Police , Mercantile , and ( General Intelligence . Quack advertisements and other offensive matter , to he found in nearly every existing journal , will be rigorously excluded from tho eohnnnB of the Khiknd ok the Phopi . k .
