"he Now York Evening Post is the oldest
democratic paper in the state of New York, aud
one of the oldest in the United States It's pass
history, we venture to hope. will justify US ia
soliciting from our democratic readers and fellow
laborers, friendly interest in behalf Of journal
which has seen some service in the cause Of
democracy.
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-.
Gates the principles of their party. Z lhe effect
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 deporable
iesult, and TO facilitate the union and invigors-
ton of the democratic party. by spreading gen.
eral acquaintance with its principles among oil
classes, it is important that they should be in the
daily habit OF reading some journal in which
those principles are habitually enforced
1t is not for us perhaps to say how far the
Evering Post is calculated to meet the want 10
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 i, in their way to contribute somewhat
to its circulation.
To those unacquainted with its plan and char.
acter, we beg to submit the following summary:
The EVENING PosT, will eontaln:-
|. THE NEWS OF THE DAY, which we shall
report with all the accuracy and fidelity IN our
power, including intelligence fiom foreign coul,.
tries, political information, reports Of elections,
and notices Of every occurrence Of general in

II, PUBLIC DOCUMENTS Of general impor.
tance, reports, messages, official communica ations
&c in fuller manner than they can be given ia
any paper not printed in the compact manner Of
the Evening Post.
ILL., DISCUSSIONS OF Political QUESTIONS.
These we hope to be able TO conduct in spirit
OF fairness and courtesy, not descending TO per.
sonaities 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 lis truth, and
are associated with the democratic party, because
we find il striving in the main for objects 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 legisls.
ton, of the propriety of bringing public affairs
as much as possible within the cognizance aud
management of smal! neighborhoods. We ave
opposed to the extension Of slavery, and in favor
of its restriction in every constitutional mode;
we are enemies Of all monopnl;es, and Of all
ties. and to promote the interests of particular
classes. The course of the Evening Post in re.
gard to these subjects is well known, aud its con.
ductors may say, with an allowable satisfaction.
that in the Jealous support OF these views for
long series OF years. they have never wavered
through fear or through interest.
