THE CRISIS,
For 1867.

Year OF the publication OfgTHe CRIsIss is
about to begin, and, in accordance with GUS
tom, We issue our Annual Prospectus. We
need not recapitulate It's history during the
stormy years Of its existence, nor remind
those Who have read III of It's services ID be-
half Of the great principles Of the DtmOCra-
Icy, and what it's conductors conceived, and
what time has shown, to be the best interests
of the country. Its merits have been &C.
k~noWledeed from the time il was started BY
that veteran and distinguished journalist,
Gov MEDARY. and its present conductors
simply claim for It the credit Of on earnest
and undertaking adherence 10 the plan and
principles Of It's founder. In all the politi-
cal vicissitudesy Of the past six %years-the
failure Of some, the apOetacy Of others, n
the unguardsd weakness Of many, opponents
of Democracy, THE CRISIS has never denia'
ted from the straight path Of principle, nor
been allured by temporary expedients, in
Inundated by threats, nor dishcartened by
defeat and disaster. 7.
On the ecore of principle we claim for it
the merit Of fidelity, honesty, and consist
ency. AZ . newspaper we claim for II the
merit of being an exponent Of Western in
.terests and ideas, o reliable journal Of the
times, o valuable companion of the farmer,
the mechanic, the business man, and the
family circle. II is our aim TO FIJI the large
sheet with matter Of real interest and per-
manent value-to discuss questions Of prin1
ciple that are Of real Significance, to inform,
improve, and instruct, as well as amuse =
ahddo 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 the best mel 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 we publish, is Of i'm
p~orlance 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 70 the home circle Of all. 17 fua
The political views of The Crisis ecarcely
definition. 1t is in favor of Demo-
cratic principles in oil their breadth and
as expounded by THOMAS JEFFERSON,
and the other really great men and Founders
of the Government, and upon which the
Government was successfully conducted for
seventy years. II Is opposed 10 the Adolf
tion dtspotism which now controls the Fed
eral Government, in oil its shapes and I'M
der whatever device il may appear. 1t isl
opposed to the entire Abolition theory Of
politics, and all the mOnstpOsities, humb Hgs,
and decisions which grew out of IL. 1t Isl
opposed to the thieving lascality, the ty-
rannical assumptions, the stupid and bar
barous policies and the lswlese u%surpations
Of Congress, and to all 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
axes, and t~yfannical, insane, and corrupt
legislation. And In advocating the correct
principles and opposing the evils we have
we shall continue to do 1t without
fear or favor. 5r.
