VanAusdal & CO.,

The year 1871 will be the most
important one i'll the political
world of the United States. 1t il
the year that Will prepare the
way for the great campaign of :
1872, a campaign that Is destined
t. be won by the Democracy. Il
is essential that everything with
in the power of the Democrats
ofthe country should be done to
win the people from the heresy
of Radicalism aud not abuse them
by using means to stop them
from leaving the rotten and sink
ing ship, but TO ex n {
that right feeling of friendship
and take them by the hand
Thousands will come over tc
open their eyes to The iniqnity
extravaganza, waste, dishonesty
and general acknowledgements thai
has characterized the rule Of tht
Radical party during the pastter
Years.
1t is essential that the steople be
advised upon the best meal q
restoring their1oh time ITosperi
~, and of bringing peace, with all
its attendant blessings, TO a cour
try that has too long suffered
from the devas,irg, infamous, and
accursed rule of the Radical oil
garchy,
There is need of vigilance?
y The Observation-Disclosures
from the blood, and peril, -
and heroism OF the American
Revolution; the government we
have all learned to love, and all
nations to respect, aud the gov
eminent under whose Democratic
administrations We so prospered
and grew to greatness, is being
bled to death by a Radical mob
in power at Westinghouse fast
losing its symmetry aud strength.
The people are bound in slav-
cry!
Taxes are piled mountain nigh
upon all then laborot the land.
Tie mechanic, the farmer, and
all the workinmen of America
are taxed without Huiit, without
reason, and for the Benefit OF idle
capital which pays not Ii cents
worth of fakes A Radical Con
gress, bought the money of the
monopolists, sits almost tho year
through devising means to make
the poor poorer, aud the rich rich
er. An ignorant tool of a few
Pharisee politicians, occupiesth
White House, and about him are
gathered the sashed and epaulet:
red officers of the Federal army,
whose commands have superced-
ed the desires Of the people, aud
directions of the civil Government
we enjoyed in the days of the
Democracy. The citizens of the
great sovereignties of the Union
vote uuder the restraint Of the
Federal bayonet. and civil liberi
ty and personal freedom bid fail
to be crushed beneath the rough
heel of military despotism.
Alrerdy the Washington Gov
eminent has become an oligarchy
it is now but a step to a mon
arch as bad as any the Old Worle
has ever known.
With this condition of thing
about US, it is the duty OF. tae pei
pie to support afree press, which
is the terror OF tyrants. With al
out spoken and untrammeled -
press, the people must retain
their liberties and their rights.
1t is proposed 10 make the"
WEEKLY DEMOCRAT a con
sistent, earnest Democratic jour
nal, which shall speak for the =
people and stand in their defens
against the encroachments of des
potism- 1t will expose all tn
villainies and corruptions of tn
Washington oligarchy, and SCUM
the key note OF warning whe
danger to the people presents i
self.
The terms are placed so low
to bring the paper within reac
ofaI. and we will make it pecr
liarly u paper for the working
man and his family.
