Tho New York Evening Post Is the oldest !
democratic paper in the state Of New York, and
one Of The oldest in the United States Its past |
history, we venture to hope. will justify US in |
soliciting from our democratic readers and fellow |
laborers, a friendly interest In behalf OF journal
which las seen some service in the cause Of
democrary.
There are many districts df 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-
of this must be gradually to relax their devotion
to our doctrines, and ultimately to beget among |
them total indifference 10 the success OF demo- |
cratic measures To prevent such deplorable |
lesult, and 10 facilitate the union and invigora-
ton of the democratic party. by spreading gen.
eral acquaintance with its principles among all
classes, 1t is important that they should be in the
daily habit OF reading some journal in which
those principles are hahituaily enforced.
Il is not for us perhaps to say how far the
Ever ing Post is calculated to meet the want to
which we have alluded. Our readers are doubt
less generally acquainted with its literary and
political character If its aim and influence are
such as meet with their approval. we trust they
may find it in their way to contribute somewhat
to its circulation.

ILL., DISCUSSIONS OF PoLITIc Al QUESTIONS.
These we hope to be able 10 conduct in spirit
OF fairness and courtesy, not descending to pei
sonalities or appeals to prejudice, yet always
without any bias Of personal interest. and with
complete Independence. We are democrats in
principle; we have embraced the democratic
creed from profound conviction Of its truth, and
are associated with the democratic party, because
we find it striving in the main for objec's which
we cordially approve. We hold to the great
doctrines of free trade of simplicity in the pow
ers of government, Of equal and sparing legisla.
ton, Of the propriety of bringing public affairs
as much as possible within the cognizance dnd
management of small neighborhoods. We are
opposed to the extension of slavery, and in favor
of its restriction in every constitutional mode;
we are enemies of all monopolies, and Of all
legislation which seeks to create jobs for favor
ties, and to promote the interests Of particular
classes. The course of the Evening Post in re-
card to these subjects is well known, and its con-
ductors NAV saw, with an allowable satisfaction
that in the Jealous support of these views for I
Iono series of years. thew have never wavered
through fear or through interest.
