The editor of the Omnibus and Sydney Spectator outlines the governing principles of the newspaper. The Spectator is said to be unaligned with any government, religion or political party; it favours the policies of Sir George Gipps, it opposes monopolies; it favours a constitution enshrining a representative legislature; it favours a 'suffient Police' and a resumption of convict transportation to supply the labour market.

The Spectator intends to provide 'all the dometic news of the week up to the hour of publication, compiled from the other papers and collected by our own reporter' and will include reports from 'some of the leading journals of Europe'. Social and fashion news will be covered together with 'intelligence respecting the state of the markets, strayed and stolen cattle,etc'. There will also be police news, shipping updates and sports reports.
