For 1861.

The great Presidential battle having now closed
with the triumph of the Republicans in the election
of LIN COLIN and HAMLlN, new era will soon be
inauguratedin the policy of Government, and
Its energies be wielded within the recognized lin
its Of the Constitution favor of Freedoms and not
of Slavery. - .a.
Consequences of immediate and extraordinary
agnituae hang upon this event Tie revolution in
Prblic a fairs of which it is the precursor, has
aroused storm of faraticsm in the Cotton States
which bids fair to test the Union, the Constitution
and she Laws to an extent to which they have never
before been subjected.
The questions of peaceful or rev iutionary seces-
sion, Modification, and Retaliatory Legislation, have
arisen, inv diving numerous others, touching the
theory OF Institutions, State and Federal rela-
tons, and possibly tke demand on the part of the ex
tre,Ye South fornew Concessions and Guarantees as
a condition of the continuance of the Federal Union
AS the project of a Southern Cotton Confederacy as
rsumes shape, that of reopening the african Slave
Trade also rears its hideous head, We are at the
turning point in the great conflict between Freedom
and Slavery.
Amid the uphea wing of the political aud social eI
enents at home, crisis seemsto be impending over
Europe, and the probabilities daily becoming more
imminent of collision between the Great Powers,
which may snake the dynastes of the old world to
their foundations. Everywhere the forces sf hu
aarity are in notion and Truth and Right are bat
tIiug ugainst Error and Wrong in their multiform
shapes. s-fed 5 Tsfsa 500 ts.. Eg-c A@#.
Tho signs Of the times, therefore, indicate q year
of startling changes and great events, and he who
would keep pace with the spirit and intelligence of
the age, must READ. Aneuterrrising newspaper is
an epitome of this living world. and brings it, with
all its ever-ynrying phases, before the minds eye of
the poer man in his cottages as well as the rich man
in his palace. Its the cheapest article of necessity
or luxury that the ingenuity of man has yet Devised
and he who ignores 1t baries his noblest capa cities
and Is practically dead the interests and concerns
of his race outside Of the narrow sphere in which he
moves. .s52a esG Egs fFrtrsr t.=g
Such an one we shall continue TO strive to make
the GAZETTE, and to renderi it, for the coming year,
worthy of still general favor The pressure of
that class of political matter especially appeFtainng
to the Campaign being now over, we shall be able
to give much larger quantity OF literary and mis-
celaneous reading, for the benefit OF those who feel
comparatively lit le concern in politics. We testow
great pains upon the makirgnp OF the Gazette, and
believe we safely say that in variety, freshness
and interest," will not suffer by comparison with
Eastern paper, while an important advantage in
point of time by its earlier arrival, is gained to Wes-
torn subscribers Our Printing and Mailing are also
now done with such dispatch as 70 enable have
our entire edition in the mail by II O'Clock on the
morning of publication and subscribers will thus in
varibly receive them by the first mails thefeater-
Tie extra amount of reading matter which the Ga
zette furnishes its readers in consequence of its
size should not be overlooked BY those who want
the ne ws Of the day complete, and not in partial
and imperfect shape. @ @tss- ".a -t
