THE CRISIS,
For 1867.
F0r l867.


Tue Seventh Volume and the Seventh
Year of the publication Of The CRISIS is
about to begin, and in accordance with GUS
tom. we issue our Annual Prospectus. We
need not recapitulate its history during the
stormy years Of its existence, nor remind
those who have read it, Of its services in be-
half of the great principles Of the Democra-
Nv and what its conductors conceived, and
what time has shown, to be the best interests
of The country. Its merits have been &C.
knoWledeed 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
nriuciples Of its founder. In all the pOliti-
cal yicissitudes 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
bsen allured by temporary expedients, in
timidated by threats, nor disheartened by
defeat and disaster.
On .he score of principle we claim for it
the merit of fidelity, honesty, and consist
ency. AS newspaper we claim for II the
merit Of being an exponent Of Western iu-
terests and ideas, reliable journal Of the
| times. valuable companion Of the farmer,
the mechanic, the business man, and The
family circle. It 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 anuse-- :
and to this end we discard the idle tWaddl(
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 pen of th'
country approving Of the course of TIL
CRISIS in this respect, and to this course w
!, propose to rigldly adhere. The reliable
], market reports and the great amount
statistical, agricultural, financial, and po
litical information we publish, is Of i'm
IpOrtance and valae to business men, farm
ers, mechanics, and politicians while tht
carefully selected page Of literary miscella
ny which each number. contains, commend
: it 10 the home circle Of all.
The political views of THE CRISIS ecarCel.
REQUIRE definition. 1t is in favor of Demo
cratic principles in all their breadth AM
purity, as expounded by THOMAS JEFFERSON
and the other really great men and founder
of the Government, and upon which tht
Government was successfully conducted fol
Seventy years. II is opposed to the Aboli
ton despotism which now controls the Fed
eral Government, in all its shapes and un-
der whatever device it may appear. Itis
4 opposed to the entire Abolition theory oil
politics, and all the monstrosites, humbngs
and delusions which grow out of it. 1t il
opposed to the thieving Iascality, the ty.
rannical assumptions, the stupid and bar
barous policies and the lawless usurpations
of Congress, and to all the machinery that
| the JaCobins have devised and put in opera
tion to overthrow Republican Government
Iinaugurate anarchy and absolutism, ensave
the people, and oppress them with odious
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 1t without
fear or favor, .8i
In order to successfully conduct such o
