constant current of events, the peculiarly in
teresiing political situation of the National
House of Representatives at war with the
Senate and the Executive administrator,

Presidency. with the vast power and patron

which, after long control of the Government,

a party organization, stood aloof during the
gigantic struggle of restoration, and gave the
aid and comfort of its sympathy and votes to
the secession confederacy, now hopes to cover
up its long record of unfaithfulness to the
country, ana its responsibility for all the coHse.

the continual depreciation of the currency, the
destruction OF general confidence, and which
can have no outcome save in prOstration and
reputation.
In this contest the GAZETTE will maintain
the principles and course laid down in its ore
vious 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 ca.
pacity 10 reform its own character, or TO lay
out a policy of government. Even on the
questions of currency and finance, which it
attempts to set up the sole issue, the
party is at war with Itself. Its restoration is
TO the control of the Nation al government
would be a national calamity. Its present
control of the House of Representatives is
partial anarchy and paralysis in the govern
ment While perfect purity is not claimed for
the Republican party, yet it has the never
dyingglory OF having saved the Republic from
Democratic disunion: it has dealt with the
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 govern
ment, or that ca lay out a govern Inent policy,
and it will present to he people Presidential
candidate who will deserve the confidence of
the country. on a platform OF reform and pro-
gress.
The general character OF the GAZETTE is es-
tablished by its life, and, therefore needs no
promises for the future. 1t maintains Repub-
lican principles such as il believes best for the
general weIfate, and it holds party organiza.
ton as simply an agency TO carry them into
effect in the administration Of government.
The GAZETTE asks no fav ors 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.
This fearless course has earned for it the recog-
nized position of the leading Republican
journal of the central part of the nation.
On the question of currency, the GAZETTE
maintains the line of policy set forth in its
previous annual circulars While it holds
that the eventful divorce of the government
from the banking business, and the restora. ion
of the currency to convertibility with coin,
are TO be kept steadily in view, it also holds
that the situation growing out of the prostra-
tion of the public credit by the war of seces-
sion, which left an en- ormous yoIume of ire
deemable aud deprecated paper money, which
has become the measure o. general values and
con. racts isone W Lose refo, m must be gradual
and by cautious and stable measures. Experi-
ence has proved that, with stoppage of further
issues, there is a steady tendency of the cur
rency to appreciation. The first step of re-
FORM therefore, is to stop the further increase
of the volume of irredeemable paper money.
When We shall have settled that, and thus
have given full course to the natural improve
ment CT the currency from that, ii will be
time enough to deliberate measures to close
the remaining gap between paper and coin.
As complete American newspaper, the GA
zETIE has no superior on the continent. As
commercial paper, 1t has long been regarded
as the standard, and ii viii m linlain This po-
sition. Its value an az. icuituIal paper is
practical farmers, who make it heir medium
for exchanging views and Intelligence. IL is
not unmindful OF the literary wants of the
family. 1t contains more reading matter than
any other pa per published in this city, and
the character of It's contents precludes any
of it with the trashy cheap papers
that are continually springing up. 1t is print
ed from stereotype plates, by the new Per
fecting P ess," which makes its typographical
execution better th an ever.
Choice stories, poetry, and miscellany, inter
esting to young and old. have always been
prominent features pertaining 20 the WEEKLY
and SEEI-WEEKLY GAzETTE, and increased
prominence wilI be given them daring the
coming year.
The GAZETTE, in neshaaical execution, in
thequantiIy and quality OF its reading matter,
and in all the questions of the public Welfare,
will continue its progress abreast with the
times.
