The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1849-11-10
New York Evening Post.


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, 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. The effect
of this must he gradually to relax their devotion
to our doctrines, and ultimately to beget among
them total indifference to the success OF demo-
cratic measures. To prevent such deplorable
result, and to facilitate the union and invigora-
ton of the democratic party. by spreading gem
eral acquaintance with its principles among all
classes, it is important that they should be in the
daily habit of reading some journal in which
those principles are habtuay enforced.
II is not for us perhaps to say how far the
Evering 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.
To those unacquainted with its plan and char

the Evening Post.
III. Discussions OF PoLIT1cAL AL QUESTIONS.
These we hope to be able to conduct in spirit
of fairness and courtesy, not descending to per-
sonalites 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 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 legisla-
tion, Of the propriety of bringing public affairs
as much as possible within the cognizance and
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.
gard to these subjects is we'll known, and its con-
ductors may say, with an allowable satisfaction,
that in the Jealous support of these views for a
long series OF years. they have never wavered
through fear or through interest.
