BUT A RENEWAL OF THE OLD BAT
TIE FOR AN OLD TINE VICTORY.

The year 1881 will mark new era in our
political history, with an incoming Admins
| tratlon that Can be respected as legitimately
IN possession of power-with Congress even
ly divided IN both hranches-with the States
half Democratic and half Republican. The
Republican party cannot carry through ex.
treme sectional Legislation, but will undoubt>
edly make insidious attacks on the Constitu-
| tion and the virtue of the people by profiigate
use OF the public revenues. The spirit of
Capitalization is still rampant in that party
1t is It's controlling tendency, andwill be fur
thered by appeals TO the selfishpess of Sec
| tions. A magnificent government, on the
pafernal plan, republican in outward form
but in reslity monarchical, is the haven the
| ambitious leaders OF the Republican party
are pushing for.
Never was there greater necessity for ac-
tivity, watchfulness aud unyielding political
integrity, than there now is in the Democrats
&c party. As an opposition party it can de-
feat the conspi:ators. Its organization must
be maintained in all its old time vigor; its
party usages and traditions cherished: its own
selected leaders trusted and encouraged: its
membership strengthened and educated in tie
faith of the fathers. To the Democratic par
ty is cnnfided the exalted duty of defeating
the efforts of men in the Republican party TO
sci up another form of government in place
OF That which exists. Therefore it is the
highest patriotism to defend end maintain Or
ganlzatlon IN its greatest effectiveness.
lHR PITTSBURGH POsT is committed to this
principle in all its length and breadth, and if
possible more vigorously and uneompromis>
lngly than in the past, hold up the hands of
Its trusted leaders, spread Democratic truth
and promote by all honorable means the sue
cess OF Democratic candidates, National, State
and local
So much for the political course of The
weekly Post during the coming year but in
all It's departments will maintain the highest
0egree OF usefulness to its readers as family
journal.
The LITERARY DEPARTMENT will be en-.
riched by choice and carefully selected mis-.
cellany. consisting of tales, poetry, sketches,
humor aud biography.
The NEWS DEPARTMENT will be carefully
edited and include careful summary of the
events OF the week at home and abroad, with
specials, kilograms and correspondence from
Washington and Harrisburg during the ses-
slons OF Congress and the Legislature.
AN AGRICULTURAL and Household Depart
ment will be added as q new and attractive
feature.
The MARKET REPORTS, and especially re
ports of cattle markets, will be prepared with
the utmost care, and afford information of the
highest value to the farmer and dealer.
EoToRIALLY, the " eekly Post will discuss
all questions with candor and sincerity, II
will promote as best it can a Democratic re-
yival and resist all efforts to disintegrate the
