THE Seventh Volume and the Seventh
Year Of the publication Of tbs Crisis is
about to begin, and, in accordance with GUS

need not recapitalate its history during the
stormy years of its existence nor remind
those who have read 1t, Of its services ia be-"
half Of the great principles ofithe DemOcra-
cy, aud what its conductors conceived, and
what time has shown, to be tue best interests
Eof The country. Its merits have been &C.
knowledged from the time twas started by
that veteran and distinguished journalist,
Coy MEpARY. and its present conductors

q On The score Of principle we claim for it
the merit Of fidelity, honesty, and consist

merit of being an exponent Of Western in
terests and ideas, o reliable journal Of the
times, a valuable companion Of the farmer,
the mechanic, the business man, and the
family circle. II is our aim to fill the large
sheet with matter Of real interest and per-
manent yalue-to discuss questions Of prin-
oiple that are of real significance, to inform
improve, and instruct, as we'll as amuse-
and TO this end we discard the idle twaddle

the obscene advertisements and the sensa-
tional folly Of The day. We could publish
hundreds Of letters from the best men of the

Government was successfully conducted for
seventy years. It is opposed to the Adolf

Ter whatever device it may appear. 1t is
to the entire Abolition theory of
