The New York Evening Pos, is the oldest
democratic paper 10 the state Of New York, and
one Of the Oldest in the United States I,s psss
history, we venture to hope. will justify 10 in
soliciting from our democratic readers and fellow
laborers, friendly interest in behalf Of journal
which has seen some service in the cause Of
democracy. .ae.rT -.aH
There are many districts Of the country where
no democratic paper of any description is taken,
ana where faithful and intelligent democrats are
not accustomed to see any journal which advo-

those principles are habitualy enforced. ,s.
1t is not for us perhaps TO say how far tho
Everng Post is calculated to meet the want to

political character. If it's aim and influence are
such as meet with their approval, we trust they
may find it in their way to contribute somewhse

complete Independence. We are democrats in
principle; we have embraced the democratic
creed from profound conviction Of is truth, and
are associated with the democratic party, because

opposed to the extension of slavery, and in favor
of its restriction in every constitu tionai mode:
legislation which seeks 10 create jobs for favor
