The great Presidential battle having no,
closed With the tdumph OF the Republicans il
he election Of LINCOLN and HAMLIN,
new era will soon be iaaugurated in che polio,
of our Government, and its energies be WELD cd
within the recognised limits Of the Constitution
in favor of Freedom, and mot Of Slavery.
|, Consequences Of immediate and extraordina
~ magnitude hang upon this event. The rev
olution in our Public Affairs Of which it 10 tn,
precursor, las aroused q storm of snaticism il
the Cotton States which bids fair to test tn,
Union, the Constitution, and the Laws, to Al
extent to which they have never before beer
subjected.
Secession, Notification. and Retaliatory Leg
islation, have now arisen, involving numsrou,
Others touching the theory Of our Institutions
State and Federal relations, and possibly the
demand on the part Of the extreme South fol
new Concessions and Gurantess 40 Q condition
Of the continuance of the Federal Union. Al
the project of Q Southern Cotton Confederacy
assumes shape. that Of reOpening the African
Slave Trade also rears ib hidsous head. We
are at the turning point in the great conaics be.
tween Freedom and Slavery.
Amid the upheavipg Of the political and So
cial elements at homo, . crisis seems to be i'm
pending over Europe, and the probabilities dai
iy becoming more Imminent Of . collision be.
tween the Great Powers, which may shake the
dynasties of the old world to their foundations
Everywhere the forces Of humanity are in mo-
ton, and Truth and Right are battling against
Error and Wrong in their multiform shapes.
The signs Of the times, therefore, indicate q
year Of startling changes and great events, and
he who would keep pace with the spirit and in
telligence of the age, must READ. An enter
prising newspaper is an epitome Of this living
world, and brings it, with all its ever-varying
phases before the minds eye Of the poor man
in his cottage As well as the rich man in his
palace. Il is the cheapest article of necessity
or luxury that the ingenuity Of man has yet de
vised, and he who ignores il buriss his noblest
capacities, and is practically dead to the inter
ests and concerns of his race. outside Of the
narrow sphere in which he moves.
Such an one we shall continue to strive to
make the GAZETTE, and to render it, for the
coming year, worthy of still more general favor.
The pressure of that class Of political matter
specially appertaining to the Campaign being
now over, we shall be able to give much lar
ger quantity of literary and miscellaneous read
ing, for the bsne 6r Of those who feel compare
lively little concern in politics. We bestoW
great pains upon the making up of the Gasetts,
and believe We can safely say tina: in variety,
freshness and interest, il will not suffer BY com
parison with any Eeastern paper, while an in
portsnt advantage in point Of time, by its EARL
er arrival, is gained TO Western subscribers.
Our Printing and Mailing are also now done
with such dispatch as to enabie US to have our
entire edition in the mail by twelve O'Clock on
the morning Of publication. and subscribers
will thus invariably receive them BY the first
mails thereafter. The extra amount Of read
ing matter which the Gazette furnishes it's rea-
ders, in consequence of it's large size, should
not be overlooked by those who want the news
Of the day somplsts, and not in partial and i'm
perfect shape.
