New York, which is reported and trans
mitted specially for this paper, up to the
evening preceding the day Of publication.
By employing an extensive corps Of corr
respondents and freely using the tele-
graph, we are able to give news from all
parts of the United States and Europe,
down to the hour of publication, thus an
ticipating Eastern papers from three to
five days. Our aim is to make the Gazette
indispensable to Western readers, and to
make its news so general and comprehe hen-
sive, thatits place cannot be supplied by
New York publishers. In this We have
succeeded, and the Gazette is now conced-
ed to be superior as a general newspapers
to any New York publication. 0ui efforts
in this regard have been rewarded by .
largely increased subscription list.
The principles Of the Gazette are Repub-
liean. While wecriticise freely the actions
Of leading men Of this party, We adhere to
the fundamental principles of the organi-
zation, because we believe the success of
these principles essential to the interests
of theGountry.
In addition to the many important d aeF-
tions of financial and political churac-
ter to be disposed of during the year, the
Presidential election takes place in 1868.
It is, therefore, important, in Older that
electors may discharge faithfully and in
telligently their duties, that reliable pa

The best electioneering documents are the
newspapers, to be circulated and read be-

Of the money spent in disseminating what
are called documents, when candidates are
in the field, if used in circulating newspa-
pers, would lead to the best results. The
latter will be read from week to week by
the freside, the arguments and facts they
present carefully considered, and the judg-
ment made mp long before committees be-
gin ito circulate their campaign documents.
While we would not detract from the i'm
portance of the latter, we would urge up-
on our friends in school districts the ad-
vantages that may be expected from the
wide circulation of reliable newspapers.
These are the best educators of the masses.
In orderth there may be no objection
on the score Of price, we have arranged the
terms of the Gazette at the lowest point
consistent with the safety Of our business. /.
The cost of producing newspapers is very
nearly as high now as at any time during
the war, there having been no reduction
whatever in the price of labor, while the
decline in the cost Of paper is not equal to
the reduction in our terms, which are as
