PROSPECTUS FOR 1866.

The new year upon which we are sbout
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 war for
the Union and Freedom has ended in vic
tory and peace. Secession and slavery
have both been crushed, and our Republic,
reunited and regenersted, 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
arena. The weapons are ballots instead
of bullets, the pen instead of the sword.
The spirit of secession is yet aliFe. The
great work Of re-constructing the relations
of the Southern States to the Union, so
that the nation may be made secure, its
faith and honor kept ~inviolate, and equal
rights to all its citizens guaranteed, is yet
10 be performed-a work which for its
immense Importance and gigantic diff
culties is ONLY p~aralleied 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, a afford to be without a news
paper. It is an article of prime necessity
in every household. Without il q man Is
half a century behind the age.
The Cleveland LEADER enters upon the
twenty-second year of its existence with
the;;brightest Of prospects, and with a more
widely-e1tended and well-deserved popu-
larity than at any previous period in its
history. Its principles and objects have
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
people.
