TIE Seventh Volume and the Seventh
Year Of the publication Of Tag CRTsIs is
about 10 begin, and, in accordance with GUS
tom. we issue our Annual Prospectus. We
need not rscapitulate its history during the
stormy years of its existence, nor remind
those who have read il, of its services in be-
half Of tAe great principles Of the Democra-
cy, and what its conductors conceived ana
what time has shown, to be tho bestilntereSM
Of the country. Its merits have been ae-
knowledged from the time it was stariSd py
that veteran and distinguished jOurnalls..
Gov MBDARY. 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, TIE CRISIS has never denia.
ted from the straight path Of principle, nor
been allured by temporary expedients, in
tlmidated by threats, nor disheartened by
defeat and disaster,
On she score of principle we claim for it
the merit of fidelity, honesty, and consist
ency. As newspaper we claim for 1t the
merit of being an exponent Of Western in
terests and ideas, reliable Journal Of the
times, o valuable companion of the farmer,
the mechanic, the business man, and the
| family circle. II is our aim 10 Mi the large
sheet with matter Of real interest and per-
manent value-to discuss questions Of prln-
ciple that are of real significance, to inform,
improve, and instruct, as we'll as amuse =
and 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 TnR
CRISIS in this respect, and to this course we
propose to rigldly adhere. The reliable
market reports and the great amount ol
statistical, agricultural, financial, and po-
litcal information we publish, is of i'm.
portance and value to business men, farm
ers, mechanics, and politicians while the
carefully selected pugs Of literary miScella-
ny which each number contains, commends
it 20 the home circle Of all.
The political views of THE CRIs1s scarcely
require definition. 1t is in favor Of Demo
cratic principles in all their breadth and
purity, as expounded by THOMAS JEFFERSON
and the other really great men and founders
of the Government and upon which tht
Government was successfully conducted fol
seventy years. 1t is opposed to the Adolf
tion despotism which now controls the Fed
eral Government, in all its shapes and un
der whatever device it may appear. It i
opposed To the entire Abolition theory o
politics, and all the monstrosities, humb ngs
and delusions which grew out Of it. 1t i
opposed TO the thieving lascality, the ty
!ranpical assumptions, the stupid aud bar
barous policies and the lawless usurpation
Of Congress, and to oil the machinery tina
the Jacobins have devised and put in opera
ton to overthrow Republican Government
inaugurate anarchy and absolutisn, enslav
the people, and oppress them with odiou
taxes, and tyrannical, insane, and corrup
legislation. And in advocating the correc
principles and opposing the evils we bav
named, we shall continue to do 1t twithou
fear or favor.
