The coming year brings, in addition to the
constant current Of eventS, the peculiarly inter
of Representatives at war with the Senate and
Executive Eniaistration, and the great quad
rennial contest for the Presidency, with the vast
power and patronage which It controls. A po-
litical party which, after long control of the
government left 1t with the Union broken up,
and which, as party organization, stood aloof
during he gigantic struggle of restoration, and
gave the aid ana comfort of its sympathy and
votes to the secession confederacy, now hopes
to cover up its long record of untaHhfuiness to
CONSEQUENT caIamities and financial burdens
by a fallacious promise OF a paper money 1nf1a-

destruction of general confidence, and which
can have no outcome save in prostration and
In this contest the Gazette will maintain the
principles and course laid down in its previous
annual circulars, and adhered to in its editorial
columns. The Democratic party brought all the
calamities and burdens upon the country. 1t
has given no evidence of capacity to reform its
own character, or to lay out policy of govern
ment. Even on the question of currency and
finance, which it attempts to set up as the sole
ISSUE the party is at war with itself Its restor-
alton to the control of the National govern
ment would be a national calamity. Its pres
ent control of the House of Representatives is
a partial anarchy and paralysis in the govern
ment. While perfect purity is not claimed for
dying glory of having saved the Republic from
faults Of its public men with merciless hand !;
it is the only party that has a character which
entities it to be intrusted with the government,
will present to the people a Presidential candi-
date who will deserve the confidence of the
The general character of the Gazette is estab-
lished by its life and, therefore, needs no prom
principles, such as it believes best for the gen.
eral welfare, and it holds party organization
simply an agency to carry them into effect in
the administration of government. The Ga
zette asks no favorS from those in power, and
is independent in the course it takes, and is as
free to condemn abuses inside the Republican
party as In the opposition rms fearless course

tains the line of policy set forth in It's pre-
vious annual circulars, While it holds that the
eventual divorce of the government from the
currency to convertibility with coin, are to be
kept steadily in view, it also holds that the sit
pubic credit by the war Of secession, which
left an enormous volume of irredeemable paper
of general values and contracts, is one
whose reform must be gradaul and by
ence has proved that, with the stoppage OF fur
ther issues, there is a steady tendency of the
currency to appreciation. The first step of
form, therefore, is to stop the further increase
of the volume of irredeemable paper money.
When we shall have settled, and thus have
given full course 10 the natural improvement
of the currency from that, 1t will be time
manning gap between paper and coin.

in its voluminous correspondence from practical
farmers, who make ii their medium for eX-
changing views and intelligence. 1t is not un-
