INDEPENDENCE, CANDoR, CONSERVATISM,
ENTERPRISE, VIGoR.


The election of 1877 over, to congress will
all eyes turn to witness the course of political
events in America. Questions of vital inter-
est are pressing for settlement, and the dis
cussion bids fair to be prolonged and absorb
ing. The subjects of Finance Pacification,
Internal improvements, Civil Servic Reform.
and Mexican Border Troubles, &c, are among
those which must largely occupy the public
MIND The proper development of the re-
sources ofthe West and South. by means of
an improved condition of river and railroad
transportation facilties-the utilization ofun-
employed labor in needed public works-the
encouragement of immigration to the fertile
lands OF the Great West. are matters of ma
tional. as well as of local concern. Scarcely
less important Is the support of all measures,
by whomsoever originated aided or indorsed,
giving to the Southern states full and free
control OF their own atfairs-the only policy
leading to permanent peace. The state leg
islatures, especially to elect United States
senator's will also be invested with interest.
as upon them and the elections of 1873 will
devolve the decision as to whether the reins
OF political power shall continue to be held
by the Republican party, the tenure of that
power now hanging by but slender thread.
upon these and kindred subjects the Re-
publican, which gives an earnest advocacy to
the principles of the constitutional Democra-
cy, Will always be found battling in the ranks
of the thinking, working people
of the West and South. And whilst sparing
no effort to obtain and promulgate the most
reliable information relative to American pol
tiles. the Republican Will maintain its past
reputation for the collection of all important
and interesting news from all quarters of the
globe. Affairs in the Eastern hemisphere,
now occupying so much attention, will not
be omitted in the design of making this pa

ligence of the day and whatever enterprise

ployed to produce tirst-class news and fam
