      " LIBERTY—EQUALITY—FRATERNITY . " Early next February will be Published , the First Number of "HpHE PEOPL E . " " We'll struggle on till all be won the good God has designed , The Empire of the People—the Monarchy of Mind . " A Newspaper established by private individuals is manifestly inadequate to the attainment of any great National object . " It is , " says a distinguished Irish writer , " in many particulars defective , in many others injurious , and in some dangerous , unsafe , and untrustworthy ; it may be bought or bartered ; it muy be traded with and tra / ficked on ; it may be corrupted , conquered or intimidated , and offers no guarantee for firmness , independence , or honesty . "—Influenced by these considerations , * juimber oiXm ^ e ^—4 « eply vintpW 8 t ^> o the welfare of ih « ir ii ^ vtilAUid ^^^ tesoVYed on the establishment of a National Weekly Journal , which , founded by the People , -will be alone responsible to them , and will have for its immediate aim and object the uncompromising advocacy of their rights—their interests—and their liberty . Whilst all parties , creeds , and sections in Ireland have thoir respective organs by which the public opinion of the community is governed and directed , it appears strange that the great body of the Irish People are as yet unrepresented or misrepresented at the Press . The establishment of " The Pkoi'Lk " will remedy this deficiency , and as it will effectually labour to represent the public opinion of the Irish People , so it will depend on their powerful co-operation for support . The principle on which the establishment of " The People " is proposed is that of a Joint-Stock Association . A fixrd number of Proprietary Agents—one or more selected by the Popular Party in each locality—or persons who may voluntarily present themselves—subject to the decision of the Directors—will constitute the Company . With this view , a Provisional Committee has been formed in Dublin—Treasurers and Trustees have been appointed—a temporary Office has been secured—the sanction of thu great ninfS of the friends of freedom in Ireland , England , ; md Scotland has been obtained , and about the time specified the arrangements will be so far completed as to enable The People " to commence its operations . The Pkovle " will be the largest size allowed by law , and as in its literary and political departments it will take a leading and prominent position , it may be necessary to state that the services of writers of ability and pitriotism have been secured , and that able Correspondents are being appointed in London , Glasgow , Paris , and New York . For obvious reasons , a mere outline of the Prospectus can no presented to the Public ; parties wishing for further information will please communicate with the Secrcary , -who will give all requisite particulars relative to the Proprietary Agents . The fullest security provided bylaw will be given to the Proprietary Agents . Thtse Agents will not—unless in a few instances—interfere with tho appointment of Non-Propnetarv Agents ; the services of the latter in every town are necessary , and an early application is requisite .
