THE MISSOURI REPUBLICAN

The stirring events which are sure Co make mumera-
able the year lSd0-tho recurrence OF tho election e
President and Vice President Of tho United State inf
that year-the extraordinary division OF parties IN that
election, Sectional in character, SO far MS ono Of them Is
concerned, aud National aud Conservative, as the
Democratic party must be, for 10 holds almost equal
sway with the Black Republicans In tho Nor. h, and s.
triumphant in the south and the slayeholding status
all these things excite IN us q desire 70 extend tho yM-
c~ulation of the RgprbAJan % every fan lily which it does
not nov reach. With this view we now send out this
Prospectus. IT, In the course Of political events for the
last three or four years, we have failed 20 make out
position perfectly understood, We have been peculiarly
unfortunate We d0not think we have, however We
have opposed Black Republication in every shape aud
form in which Il has been prcUented 70 the country,
and we intend 90 DO 60 IN the coming Presidential
election. 1t matters very little whether VIM. IL Sew
ard shall be nominee Of the party in opposition to the
shall be presented in his stead, we shall be persistent
and %untiring in our efforts 70 defeat such nominee
We are for the preservation Of the Union, and believing
that the election Of the Black Republican candidate
viii e~udauger, lit does not ensure, Its dissolution, we
regard this ssreason enough TO justify our course in
10 the matter o. the state politics, VIC shall take our
Wn position on all questions as they may arise. We
are for granting aid TO the Railroads yet unfinished,
and cOnstitu ting the grand system inRugurGted many
yenrs $50. We believe they can all be completed by
the exercise Of sound Judgement and the assumption OF
responsibility when it is right aud proper O. do. We
shall regret exceedingly 70 see these gIeat Interests at
Hudoned. or work upon them rctariet, BY ti;s Legisla-
ture, and shall hold those who ARE instrumental in
bringing st about, if unfortunately such should be the
case. tou just account before the pcople-all depends
upon the completion of these roads, ana we snail not TO
slow ia bringing down condemnation upon thuse who
fail In their duty on this vital question
Ofthe People, and for the Peopie-sustdncd by them,
and having no other ambition than 70 advance the in
terssts Of the state, and Of The City in which we have
lived all cur lives-and equally WHtchfull for the pres
eryatiou of the Union and The respect due TO, and &c
Acknowledgement Of the Constitution under all circum'
stances--tho RcDuJlcgg Will not flii in devotion 20,
and support IT, these objects
Asa newspaper, w shail labor, as we have llboredi
to make it equal TO any in the country. We have cor
respondents at all points from which news Of much iu-
tersst may be expected, and they have always be5n
found faithful aud Industrious In the collection ottlcts.
We hall add 10 this number whenever the occasion de-
manIs It. The Telegraph will also be put into requls'
ition It every point whore it can be used, particularly
from Washington aGa jefferson Ci;y, ToT lie trGcsi2;l
sion o. iuu0rtaut intelligence.
We ask our friends TO use some eEerton toadd to our
already large and every day increasing circulation
For a year to come, no man nor family In tue Union
should be without q newspaper. The Newspaper Press
Is the great Autocrat in this cOu try, More than the
Pulpit, or the B0T, or the balls Of the legislation, they
wore instrumental in forming Public Opinion, and tits
highly important that that opinion should be controlled
eud kept in proper channels so hs to secure the perpetu
ity of our institutions, and the prosperity ofthe People,
This Is the great mission Of The newspaper pres and
ia all thiDgs we shall eudeyOr so as to conduct the Re-
publican as TO make It couduce to that end.
