THE CRISIS,
For 1867.
For l867.

Year Of the publication of TBE Crisis Is
about to begin, aud, in accordance with GUS
TOM we issue our Annual ProspeetusI We
need not recapitulate its history during the
stormy years Of lis existence, nor remind
those who have read il, Of its services Ia be-
half Of the great principles Of the Democra-
cy, and wat ifs4cOnductors conceived, and
what time has shown, to be the best interests
of the country. Its merits have been ac-
knowledged from the time it was started by
that veteran and distinguished journalist,
Gov MEDARY. and its present conductors
simply claim for it the credit Of an earnest
and undertaking adherence to the plan and
principles Of its founder. In all the politi-
cal vicissitudes Of the past six years-the
failure Of some, the apostacy OF others, and
the unguarded weakness Of many, exponents
Of Democracy, TBE CRISIS has never denia.
ted from the straight path Of principle, nor
ben allured by temporary expedients, in
timidated by threats, nor disheartened by
defeat and disaster.
On the score of principle we efaim for it
the merit Of fidelity, honesty, and consist.
ency. As a newspaper We claim for IL the
merit of being an exponent Of Western in
terests and ideas, reliable journal Of the
times, q valuable companion OF the farmer,
the mechanic, the business man, and the
4 family circle. 1t is our aim to fill the large
sheet with matter Of real interest and per-
manent value to discuss questions Of prin-
ciple that are Of real significance, TO inform,
improve, and instruct, as we'll as amuse =
aud TO this end we discard the idle tWaddle
which goes so far to fill up the daily papers,
the obscene advertisements and the sensa-
tional folly Of the day. We could publish
hundreds Of letters from the best men of the
country approving Of the course Of TnE
CRISIS in this respect, and to this course we
propose to rigldly adhere. The reliable
!, market reports and the great amount of
statistical, agricultural, financial, and po-
litical information we publish, is Of i'm
portance and vahle to business men, farm :.
ers, mechanics, and politicians while the
carefully selected page Of literary miscella-
ny which each number contains, commends
it 20 the home circle Of all.
The political views of The CRISIS ocArcely
; require definition. 1t is in favor Of Demo
cratic principles in all their breadth and
lpurity, as expouDded by THOMAS JEFFERSON,
and the other really great men and founders
of the Government and upon which the
Government was successfully condHcted for
seventy years. 1t is opposed to the Aboli-
tion despotism which now controls the Fed
, eral Government, in all its shapes and un-
der whatever device it may appear. II is
! opposed To the entire Abolition theory ol
., politics, and all the monsLrosities, humb ngs
and delusions which grow out Of it. Iti
loprosed to the thieving Isscality, the ty.
} rannical assumptions, the stupid and bar.
. barous policies and the lawless usurpationt
. of Congress, and 10 all the machinery thai
: the Jacobins have devised and put in opera,
. ton to overthrow Republican Government
, inaugurate anarchy and absOlutiSm, enslavs
the people, and Oppress them with Odioui
taxes, and tyrannical, insane, and corrupt
| legislation. And in advocating the correct
principles and opposing the evils We have
: named, we shall continue to do it without
fear or favor.
In order to successfully conduct such a
paper as The Crisis, it must have large
list of subscribers /; and to secure that We
rely upon our friends and those who have
taken tie paper. We cannot compete with
the cheap, shoddy publications Of the East
by offering bogus premiums or employing
I travelling agents but we earnestly solicit
: the aid of our readers in extending our cir.
culstion by their personal efforts. It will
require but little exertiOn from each, bul
) the aggregate will enable us 70 furnish them
! with q paper fully equal in size, superior in
print to any Eastern publication, and Of q
great deal more interest and Importance tC
: Western Democrats. Friends, shall we cal
upon you in vain, for the small favor w
ask, and in a cause Of such magnitude and
: Value2 Now is the time to send in sub
