The Seventh. Volume and ths Seventh
Year Of The publication of TaE CRIsIs Is
about 10 begin, and, IN accordance With GUS
tom. we issue our Annual Prospectus. W.
necd not recapftulate its history during the
stormy years of its existence, nor remind
hose who have readit, of its services in be-
half Of the great principles Of the Demosra-
cy, and lGt It's conductors conceived, and
what time has shown, TO be the best interests
Of The country. Its merits have been Ac-
knowledged from the time il was started by
that veteran and distinguished journalist,
Gov MEDARY. and its present conductors
simply claim for il The credit Of an earnest
ana undertaking adherence 10 the plan and
principles Of its founder. In oil the pOliti-
cal vicissitudes of the past six years-tho
failure Of some, the apostacy Of others, and
he unguarled weakness of many, exponents
Of Democracy, TAG CRISIS has never denia-
ted from the straight path of principle, nor
ben aliured by temporary expedients, in
Inundated by threats, nor dishcartened by
defeat and disaster. t,a
On the score Of principle we claim for il
the merit Of fidelity, honesty, and consist
eney. AS a newspaper we claim for 1t the
merit of being an exponent Of Western in
%terests and ideas, q reliable journal Of the
times, q valuable companion of the farmer,
the mechanic, the business man, and the
family circle. tits our aim to FIJI 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 twaddls
which goes so far to fill up the daily papers,
the obscene advertisements and the seusa-
tional folly Of the day. We could publish
hundreds of letters from the best men OF the
country approving Of the course OF TnE
CRISIS in this respect, 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 e 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, c0mmends
ii 20 the home circle of oil.
The political views Of THE CR1sIs ecarcely
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

! Government was successfully conducted for
seventy years. II is opposed to- the Adolf
tion despotism which now controls the Fed
eral Government, in oil its shapes and I'M
der whatever device it may appear. 1t is
opposed to Che entire Abolition theory of
politics, and all the monstrosities, humbngs,
and decisions which grew out Of it. Its
opposed to the thieving lascality, the ty-
%fannical assumptions, the stupid and bar
barous policies and the lawless usurpationa
of Congress, and 10 ell the machinery that
the Jacobins have devised and put in opera
ton to overthrow Republican Government
inaugurate anarchy and absolutism, ~enslave
the people, and Cypress 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 it without
fear or favor. JLft1I 8I
In order to successfully conduct such n
paper as The CRIsIs, it must have q 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, shoddy 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
c~ulatiOn by their personal efforts. 1t will,
require but little ekertiOn from each, but
the aggregate will enable rs to furnish them
with q 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 we call
upon you in vain, for the small favor We
ask, and in a cause of such magnitude and
value 2D Now is the time to send in sub,
