ports prepared exclusively for
our columns reports Of the
great cattle markets, including
New York, which is reported
and transmitted specially for
this paper, up to the evening
preceding the day Of publica-
ton. BY employing an exlen-
siye corps Of correspondents
and freely using The telegraph,
We are able to give the news
from all parts of the United
States and Europe, down to the
hour Of publication, thus antic-
ipa'ing Eastern papers from
three to five days. Our aim is
to make the Gazette indispen-
sable to Western readers, and
to make its news so general
and comprehensive that its
place can not be supplied by
New York publishers. In this
we have succeeded, and the
Gazette is now conceded to be
superior as general newspa-
per, to any New York pub!ica-
ton. Our efforts in this re-
gard have been rewarded by a
largely increased subscription
! list.
The principles of the Gazette
are Republican. While we
criticise freely the actions OF
leading men Of this party, we
adhere TO the fundamental prin-
cipIes of the organization, be
cause we believe the success
Of these principles essential TO
the interests Of the country.
In addition to The many i'm

and political character to be
disposed of during the year, the
Presidential e le ction takes
place in 1868. II is, therefore,
important. in order that elec,
tors may discharge faithfully
and intelligently their duties,
that reliable paper should be

newspapers, would lead to the

read from week to week by the
tireside, the arguments and
facts they present carefully
considered, and the judgment
made up long before commit

campaign documents. While
we would not detract from the
Importance of the latter, We
would urge upon our friends in
school districts the advantages
that may be expected from the
wide circulation of reliable
newspapers. These are. the
best educators of the masses.
