esting political situation Of the National House
ofRepresentatives at war with the Senate and the
Executive Administration, and the great quad
rennial contest for The Presidency, with the vast
power and patronage which it controls. A po
litical party which, aiter long control Of the gov
erumeut, left il with the Union broken mp, and
which, as party organization, stood aloof dur
ing the gigantic struggle Of restoration, and
gave the aid and comfort Of its sympathy and
votes to the secession confederaky enow hopes
to cover up its long record Of uffaithfuluess to
the country, and its respousib ty for all the
consequent calamities and ddahcial burdens,
by a fallacious promise Of paper money inaa
tion, which means the unsettlement Of values
the continual depreciation Of tile currency, the
destruction Of general confidence, and which
can have no outcome save in prOstration and
reputation.
| Iu this contest, the GAzgTTR viii maintain
the principles aud course laid down in its pre-
vuus annual circulars, and adhered to in its
editorial columns. The Democratic party
brought all the calamities and burdens upon
the country. II has given no evidence Of Ca
pacity to reform its own chgracter, or to lay
out policy OF government Even on the ques-
tious Of currency and finance, which it at
tempts to set up as the sole Issue, the party is
at war with itself. Its restoration 10 the cum
troll of the National Government would be a
national calamity. Its present control Of the
House Of Representatives Is partial anarchy
and paralysis in the government. While per-
feet purity Is not claimed for the Republican
party, vet It has the neverdy ying glory Of having
saved the Republic from Democratic disuniun
it has dealt with the faults OF its public men
with merciless hAud i is the only party that
has a character which entities II to be intrusted
with the government, or that can lay out
government policy, and IT will present to the
people a Presidential candidate who will de.
serve the confidence of the country, ON plat
form Of reform and progress.
The general character nc the GAZRTTR is es-
tablished by its life, and, therefore, needs no
promises for the future. 1t maintains Rcpubli-
can principles, such as it believes best for the
general welfare, aud it holds party orgnniza-
tim as simpl, an agency to carry them into ef-
feet in the administration of government The
GAZETTE asks M favor from those in power, and
independent nI the course it tnkes and is free
to condemn abuses inside the Republican party
as in the opposition. This fea rless course has
earned for it the recognized postum Of the
leading Republican journal Of the central part
nf the nation.
On the question. nt currency, the GAZETTE
maintains the line of policy set forth in it's pre-
viuus annual circulars. While it holds tina,
the eventual divorce Of the government from
the banking business, and the restoration of the
currency to conYertibilty with coin, are to be
kept steadily in view, il also holds that the sit
uat;on craving out Of the prostratinu Of the
public credit by the war Of secession, which
left an enormous volume Of irredeemabe and
deprecated paper money, which has become the
measure OF general values and contracts, is one
whose refm m aust be gradual and by cautious
and stable measures. Experience has proved
that, with the stoppage of further issues, there
is a steady tendency Of the currency to arpre-
citation. The first step of reform, therefore, is
to stop the further increase Of the volume of ir-
redeemable paper money. When we shall have
settled that, and thus have given full course to
the natural improvement Of the currency from
that, it will be time enUugh to deliberate meas
ures to close the remaining gap between paper
and coin.
AS complete American newspaper, the GA
zETTR has no superior on the continent. AS a
commercial paper il has long been regarded as
the sta ndard, and it will maintain this position
Its value as au agricultural paper is seen in its
voluminnus correspondence from pra ctical far
mers, who make it their medium for cxchang-
ing views and intelligence. It is not unmind-
fdl of the literary wants Of the family. 1t con-
t tains more reading matter than any other paper r
published in this city, and the character Of its
contents precludes any comparison of it with
the trashy cheap papers that are continually y
springinE up. 1t is printed from stereotype
plates, BY the new "Pcr rfeeiing Press" which
makes its typographical execution better than
ever.
Choice stories, poetry, aud miscellany, inter-
esting to young and old, have always been
prominent features pertaining to the WKEKLy
: and SKxlnY EKKLY GAzRTrE. and Increased
prominence will be given to them during the
coming year.
The szETTR, in mechanical execution, in
the quantity and quality "f its reading matter,
nd in all the questions nf the public welfare
will continue its progress abreast with the
times.
