Establii-lied less limn two years since a. a representative Republican paper, pledged to maintain and defend the principles and organization of the great National Republican party, the Inter-Ocean has attained a circulation and influence with the massea ol it. voters everywhere to entitle it to approach the commencement of a new calendar year and to prepare for the preliminary work of the next campaign, the shadow of which is already casting itself npon the country, iir the confident belief that its friends will neeff no other specific pledge for the future than lias been given in its columns from day to day during the past eighteen months Since its first publication it has maintained the position of THE LEADING REPUBLICAN NEWSPAPER IN THE NORTHWEST. to which it was assigned by universal assent, in the excited canvass which resulted in the second aud triumphant election of President Grant. . ' THE EN EMIES OF THE COUNTRY are vigilantly at work. Despite the overwhelming rebuke administered to them in 1872, the opposition are skillfully massing their forces for a more determined onslaught upon the Republican organization at the next State aud National elections. Encouraged by the apathy of Republicans In the “olFyear,” seizing the unprecedented financial stringency as a pretext, and using as a hood wink the deep feeling among the agricultural classes for het’er and cheaper modes of trails*' portation than now exist, THE DEMOCRACY, under as many names as there are hungry Demagogues eager for office, is getting itself into readiness to become once more the Ruling Partv of the nation. 'iN THE SOUTH the old D< mocracy of Secession and Rebellion is being warmed into life by the apparent reverses Republicanism has suffered in tho North. The election of Allen in Ohio the triumph of Tammany in New York, aud the few desultory successes which have coins la Anti-Republican tickets in various portions of the West and Northwest, have inspired the rebels of 18F1 with the hope that the day is dawning when the Lost Canseis to be voted into a victory they failed to achieve by means of the bullet and bayonet. Already R. M.T. Hunter, a former Senator from Virginia," and a member of the Cabinet of Jeff Davis, has published his scheme for the virtual payment of Four Hundred Millions of Dollars sos the Emancipated Slaves of the South. The Richmond (Va.) Whig and Governor Gilbert Walker are urging th is’plan with all pertinacity) and there can be little doubt that a large party of Southern Represeniative« in the Forty-thijd Congress wifi be prepared to advocate the payment of this.money by the General Government. The past history of. the Democratic party gives no warrant that it will oppose this infamous robbery of the people ol the North for the benefitof traitors: but if the party is true to itself and its instincts the South will find it and its representatives a subservient ally. THE PAYMENT OF THE "REBEL DEBT is another scheme that is broadly hinted at in many parts of the South, and is, without doubt, one of the projects to which the leading Democrats of that section would address themselves if the time should ever come when a majority of the Northern States aud the General Government should be in the hands of the party which helped the rebels in tiieirwork of destroying the Union. These ere not fanciful issues. They are real dangers, either to be met face to face, or else to be squelched iu their inception by the continued successes of that organization which crushed the rebellion, gave freedom to . tlie slaves, aud destroyed the slave-holding Confederacy. THE FARMERS know that the Inter-Ocean was theil earliest, as it has been their staunchest and warmest, friend. It is emphatically the organ of the people ill the best sense of tlie term, believing in the fullest protection of the rights of the many against tlie encroachments of the few. it believes that all chartered corporations should be held to be subservient to the power that created them, and without an infringement of the just rights of others it insists, and will continue to insist, that all corporations enjoying special privileges voted to them by thqpeople shall serve the people fairly and justly, at a compensation allowing a reasonable profit upon the actual capital employed. THE FAMILY. .... - The Inter-Ocean makes special efforts to render itself acceptable to the families of its patrons. To this end everything Is rigorously excluded that could possibly offend The religious aud moral character is guarded with especial care, and its aim is “to encourage the true, the beautiful; aud the good.” THE INTER-OCEAN Is the paper for Till!
