PRO9PECTU@
T H E CRISIS,
For 1867.

TINS Seventh Volume and the Seventh
Year of the publication OF The crisis Is
hout 10 bepin, and, in accordance with GUS
80 ve issne our Annual Prospectus. We
need not reca~pitulate its history during the
stormv wears of its existence, nor remind
tbose who have read it, Of its services In be-
half Of the great principles of the Democra-
90 and wat its conductors conceived, and
Chat time has shown, to be the best interests
% Tho ~copniry. Its merits have been ae-
knowledeed from the time it was started ~
dat veteran and distinguished JOURNALIST
Gov MEpARY. and its present conductors
simply claim for it the credit Of an earhes,
au6 underwriting adherence to the plan anu
principles of its founder. In all the pouHi-
cal yicissitudes Of the past six years-'he
failure of some, the apostacy OF others, ana
Inc nnguarded weakness Of many, expouenIs
/ of Democracy, TIE CRISIS has never denla'
ted from the straight path of principle, nor
ben allured by temporary expedientu' IN
Inundated by threats, nor disheartened Dy
defeat and disaster, 90.
On the score of principle we claim for it
the merit of fidelity, honesty, and consist"
encv. AS a newspaper we claim for 1t the
merit of being an exponent Of Western iu-
tprrsts and ideas, a reliable journal OF the
times. n valuable companion OF the farmer,
The mechanic, the business man, and the
family circle. 1t is our aim to fill the large
sheet with matter of real interest and per-
manent yalue-to discuss questions Of prin-
cinle 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 lhE
CRIsIs in this respect, and to this course we
propose to rigidly 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 value to business men, farm
ers, mechanics, and politicians while the
carefully selected page Of literary miscella-
nv which each number contains, commends
it 20 the home circle OF all.
The political views of Tue Crisis ecarcely
REQUIRE definition. IL is in favor of m
I cratic principles in all their breadth and
uurity, as expounded by THOMAS JEFFERSON,
5 and the other really great men and founders
= of the Government, and upon when the
| Government was successfully conducted lot
o seventy years. 1t is opposed to the Adolf
? ton despotism which now controls the FED
eral Government, in all its shapes and un-
. der whatever device it may appear. 1t Is
d onposed to the entire Abolition theory oil
Y politics. and all the monstrOsities, humb ngs,
and decisions which grow out OF 1T. 1t Is
oprosed to the thieving Iascality, the ty'
r%annical assumptions, the stupid and bar
. barous policies and the lawless usurpations
of Congress, and TO all the machinery that
Q the Jacobins have devised and put in opera
| ton to overthrow Republican Government
= inaupurate anarchy and absolutism, ensIave
the people, and Cypress them with odious
. taxes, and tyrannical, insane, and corrupt
s legislation. And in advocating the correct
/ principles and opposing the evils we nave
named, we shall continue to do 1t without
, fear or favor.
In order to successfully conduct such O
paper as THE CRISIS, it must have a large
list of subscribers and to secure that We
relv upcu our friends and those who have
taken tie paper. We cannot compete witt
the cheap, shoddy publications OF the EasI
by Offering bogus premiums or employing
travelling agents but we earnestly sOllcl,
the aid Of our readers in extending our cir
~culation by their personal efforts. II will
REQUIRE but little exertiOn from each, bui
the aggregate will enable us to furnish then
, with o paper fully equal in size, superior il
! print to any Eastern publication, and of q
great deal more interest and Importance t
> Western Dem ocrats. Friends, shall we cal
upon you in vain, for the small favor We
: ask, and in q cause Of such magnitude ant
value Now is the time to send in sub
n scriptions for the new volume, which, at TIT
q end of the year, will be worth thrice thu
