THE MISSOURI REPUBLICAN.
PROSPECTUS FOR 1871.

The year 1871 promises to be rife with events
of unusual Importance. Abroad, the map of
Europe is undergoing great changes. Our for
eign relations present questions of absorbing in
terest. In respect to American affairs the comm
year bids fair to be fruitful of historical Incidents
The revolt in the Republican party of tue coun-
try, taking its inception in the canvass which
resulted in the election of B. Gratz Brown as
governor of Missouri, is sure to manifest itself,
at Washington during the session Of congress,
upon the questions of tariff and civil service
reform, and to spread thcrefrom to every part of
the Union. During the year the basis of he next
presidential contest will be settled and the issue
cloarly defined. The apportionment of repre-
sentation in congress under the new census, and
the relative power Of the West and South in the
government of the nation, will also be fixed
The session of the several state legislatures will
develop matters of great importance in connection
with home and national politics. United States
Senators will be chosen by some, states will be
redis,rctcd, and various other matters of general
concern be presented. In Missouri The work Of
rcmodeling tho organic law will engage the
thoughtful attention of the best minds in tho
State.
In keeping a watchful eye upon these and
kindred topics, in addition to the general current
of the news, the Missouri Republican, as u
faithful chronicler of events, will give the earli-
est and most reliable information attainable. In
politics it will advocate the same principles and
strive for the Same public ends as heretofore.
Without blindly following any party, or without
arrogating leadership, it will seek to guide and
instruct its readers in accordance with belief
that upon the adoption of the views held at this
time only by the Democracy of the Union, the
prosperity and good government of the country
depend In the discussion Of political questions
1t will aim to be truthful and candid, cschcwing
personalities and relying upon temperate and
dignted argument.
Pnding itself upon n trained and numerous
nI gtnH sol r,u
rience In tho United States, the Republican
strives for tho highest journalistic excellence.
Possessing ample resources, no expense will be
spared in the collection and preparation Of the
news from all quarters of the world, which will
be given without bias reserve. The Republi-
can now has regular correspondents in the prin-
cipal European capitals, and for both foreign and
domestic intelligence enjoys the fullest facilities
offered by telegraph and mail. Special attention
will be given to financial and commercial trans
actions. the stock, produce, dry goods. lumber,
provision and general markets, local affairs, river
news, congressional and legislative reports, ag-
ricultural matters, literature, fine arts, miscel-
lany, &c. In short the design of the publishers
will be to improve and extend the character of
the Republican as the great Commercial and
family newspaper Of the @ west. w!s
