The Seventh Volume and the seventh
Year of the publication Of THE CRIsFs is
about to begin, and, in. accordance wiIncus-
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 IFS services ih be-
half of the great principles Of the Democra-
cv. and what its conductors conceived, and
what time has shown, to be the bes s interests
of the country. Its merits have been ac-
knowledeed from the time it was started by
that veteran and distinguished journalist
Gov, MEDARY, and it's present condnctQrs
simpl claim for it the credit Of an searnest
and undertaking adherence to the plan and
principles of its founder. In all the politl-
cal vicissitudes of the past six yeags--the
failure of some, the apostacy Of others, and
the unguarded weakness Of many, exponents
of Democracy The CRBis has never denia;
ted from the straight path Of principle, nor
been allured by temporary expedients, in-
timidated by threats, nor disheartened by
defeat and disaster, y 4 r. !.
On the score Of principle we claim for II
the merit of fidelity, honesty, and consist
ency. AS newspaper'we claim for it the
merit of being an exponent Of Western in
terests and ideas, q reliable journal of the
times, o 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 value--to discuss questions of prin-
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 80 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 tlie htssr tii5ls Af the
country approving OF the course of The
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 Apd 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-
ny which each number contains, commends
it TO the home circle Of all.
The polsdoal views,of THE CRISIS aoArcely
require definition. 1t is in favor Of Demo.
cratic principles in all their breadth and
purity, as expounded by EFoMAs JEFFERsoN,
and the other really great men and founders
of the Government, and upon which the
Government was successfully conducted for
seventy years. 1t is opposed to the Aboli'
tion despotism which now controls the, Fed
eral Government, in all its. shapes and an
der whatever device it may appear. II is
opposed to the entire Abolition theory Of
politics, and all the mOnstrosities, humbu ugs
and delusiOns which grow out of it. It'll;
opposed TO the thieviDg Iascality the ty.
rannical assumptions, the stupid and bar.
barOus policies and the lawless usprpatiOnE
of Congress, and to all the machinery thai
the Jacobins have devised and put in opera,
ton to overthrow Republican Government
inaugurate anarchy and abyolutism, enslaye
the people, and oppress them with odious
taxes, and tyrannical, insane, and corrupt
legislation. And in advocating thecorrecI
principles and. opposing the evils We have
named, we shall continue TO do it without
fear or favor. affflri0sT -
In order to successfully conduct such O
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, ahoddy publications Of the East
by offering bogus premiums or employing
travelling agents but we earnestly solicit
the aid Of our readers in extending our cir
.GnlAtiOn by their personal efforts. twill
require but little exertion from each, but
the aggregate will enable us to furnish them
with paper fully equal in size, superior IN
print to any Eastern publication, and Of q
great deal more interest and Importance to
Western Democrats. Friends, shall Wejcall
upon you in vain, for the small favor we
ask, and in cause of such magnitude and
value? Nov is the time to send in sub
scriptions for the new volume, which, at the
end Of the year, will. be worth thrice the
