long and scarcely 100 wide, where they
were exposed to the rays of an almost
tropical sun for months, resulting in the
death of thousands" fhe Captain also
says: @This pen should not be destroy

able to look on This ground and convince
themselves of the inhuman cruelties per-
petrated by the South on our prisoners. +"

improvements.

During the past year the unexampled
prosperity of the LEADER has enabled its
proprietors to introduce improvements
which render it still more worthy the
support of its large and increasing circle
of readers.
Within that period it has been twice
enlarged, the total increase in size being
about seven columns, thus at once accom-
mOdating the advertising pressure upon
its columns, and giving much more space
to news and miscellaneous reading after.
1t is now as large as any paper in the
State, and larger than any outside of Gin
cinnati.
On the first of October it appeared in a
new and handsome dress, greatly increas-
ing its legibiity and improving its ap-
p~earance.
A new dOuble-eylinder press has been
purchased and erected during the year,
which enables us to accommodate our
greatly increased subscription list and at
the same time to keep the paper open for
the reception of news up to the latest
ent.
The LEADER presents more, and more
interesting, reading matter to its readers
than any other paper in Northern Ohio.

A Dai!,Ti-HeeEIy and Weekly
NEWSPAPER.
The Largest Paper In the West outside
Of Chicago, st. Louis and

PROSPECTUS FOR 1866

The new year upon which we are about
to enter will usher in an era of national
growth, prosperity and greatness unexam-
pied in the history of the world. After
four years Of desperate conflict, the prin-
ciples which the LEADER, in common with
the patriotic citizens and soldiers of the
country, has always announced and de-
Tended, have triumphed, and the wal for
the Union and Freedom has ended in vic
tory and peace. Secession and slavery
have both been crushed, and our Republic,
reunited and regenerated, enters upon a
new and glorious career. The future is
full of the promise of greatness to our
nation and of prosperity to its citizens.
And yet the crisis of our danger is not
passed. The contest has only been trans
ferred from the military to the political
areDa. The weapons are ballots instead
of bullets, the pen instead of the sword.
The spirit of secession is yet alive. The
great work of rec~onstructing the relations
of the Southern States to the Union, so
that the nation may be made secure, its
faith and honor tinviolate, and equal
rights to all its citizens guaranteed, is yet
to be Performed wbrk which for its
immense Importance and gigantic diff
culties is only parallaed by that which we
have just concluded In this most cri-
teal and important period-in the midst
of these great events-no man, rich or
poor, can afford to be without a news
paper. 1t is an article of prime necessity
in every household. Without it a man is
half a century behind the age.
The Cleveland 7 @ADER enters upon the
twenty-second year of its existence with
the.brightest of prospects, and with more
widely-extended and well-deserved popu-
larity than at any previous period in its
history. Its principles and objects nave
always been fearlessly avowed and boldly
advocated. They are the perpetuity of
the Union; the maintenance of Freedom;
the establishment of Equal Rights to all
men; and the advancement of the ma
terial, mental and moral condition of the

TO THE NoRTH."-The "immortal J. N" is
making the tour of the South. We cannot
exactly call him q fellow-townsman. fol-
more towns and cities claim him than
~wrangled over the nativity of Homer. We
have not heard, however, that any two
rival cities ever went to war to make good
the claims of one or t'other to the honor Of
giving ]. n. birth. All claim him and may
enjoy the. conceit of being the cradle Of him,
since he is a universal man.

It is immense, and should have a place:
To HIS ErceVency Andrel0 johnson:
KIND SIR believing that if the princi-
pies Of truth that l have promulgated sinee
the commencement of the late war were
fully understood and recognized, a general
feeling of reconciliation would be effected
between the North and South, and knowing
the prejudice which must exist against you,
as the Executive of the nation, should they
be accepted as a basis for the settlement OF
our national difficulties, l hsve resolved on
surrendering myself to you on the 4th Of
December, at 10 o'clock, to be incarcerated
in the darkest dungeon of the Capital Pris-
on, in order to assume all the prejudice from
the friends who ~sympathize with me, and
the press which recognized my truths.
Having submitted myself to twenty vol
untary incarcerations in the North, to resist
the prejudice against the South, l will now
martyr myself TO the North, and trust this
selfsacrifce on my part will allow the press
of the nation, as sentries on the tower OF
truth, to lift the veil of prejudice which
has for the last four years enshrodded my po-
sition, respecting what 1 think to be the true
theory of the war, thate each belligerent par
tv was right when viewed from their re-
speetive stand points with the veil of preju-
dice e~nshrouding both, which caused each to
c nsider the other wrong, and that the
members Of Congress recently elected from
the Southern States, which composed the
late C~onfederacy, will be admitted on this
principle to resume their former relations 10
the Government, and that Congress will re-
peal their confiscation bill, and that, toe,
with the characteristic feelings of sympathy
manifested to the Southern people, will
grant a general amnesty to the entire South
and a pardon to the Hon. Jefferson Davis
as the representative of the people who
fought for self government, while the North
considered they were in rebellion, thus
committing treason from a Northern stand
point, but not from a Southern.
From a Southern view, Mr.. Davis has
committed no crime, and as the entire South
are willing to submit to the laws OF the gen.
/ eral government, and to relieve all preju
dice respecting him, I freely accept his posi-
4 ton, and await the action of the govern
ment.
