THE CRISIS, ,

IHE seventh R0ume anu the Seventh
Year Of the publication Of THE CRGsIs'
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 tAe great principles Of the DemocrS-
cy, and waat its conductors conceHed, and
what time has showr, to be the best irtsrests
Of the country. Its merits have been ac-
knowledeed from the time it was started by
that veteran and distinguished Journalist
Gov. AIEDARY. md its present conductors
simply claim for 1t the credit Of an earnest
and underwriting adherence 10 the plan and
principles of It's 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, TnE Crisis has never denia5
ted from the straight path of principle, nor
ben allured by temporary expedients, in
timidated by threats, nor disheartened by.
defeat and disaster. 1Ntl1N 34s3'
On the score Of principle we claim for it
the merit of fidelity, honesty, and consist
enny. As q newspaper we claim for it the
merit of being an Emp -----'-. w err n, ip-
terests and ideas, reliable journal of the
times, valuable companion of tho nvri
the mechanic, the business man, ana the
family circle, It is our aim to fill tn, 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 well 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-
lional folly Of the day, We could publish
hundreds Of letters from the best men of the
country approving of the course Of TEE
CRISIS in thisrespect, and to this course we
propose to rigldly adhere. The reliable
market reports and the great amount Of
statistical, agricultural financial, and po-
litical information we publish, is Of i'm
ers, mechanics, and politicians while th 9
carefully selected page Of literary miscella-
ny which each number contains, commends
it 30 the home circle of all.
The political views of TUE CRISIS scarcely
REQUIRE definition. 1t is in favor OF Demo
cratic principles in, all their breadth ant
purity, as expounded by THOMAS JEFFERSON
and the other really great men and founders
| of the sGoyernment, and upon which thu
Government was successfully conducted fol
seventy years. 1t is opposed to the Aboli
tioA despotism which, now controls the Fed
eral Government, ia all its shapes and un
der whatever device it may appear. 1t i
opposed to the entire Abolition theory 0
politics, and all the emonstrosities, humb ngs
and delusions which grew out of it. 1t
opposed 10 the thieying Iascality, the ty
rannical assumptions, the, stupid ana bar
barous policies and the lawless usnrpatlon
of Congress, and to all the machlnery tho
the Jacobins have devised and put IN opera
{ ton TO overthrow Republican Government
inaugurate anarchy and absolutisp, enslay
the people,. and oppress them with odior
taxes, and tyrannical, insane, and corEuE
lesislstion. And in advocating the corre'
= principles and opposing the evils we es'
b named, we shall continue TO do 1t wltipt
j. fear OF favor. tF
