GIRO u La r.
The New York Evening Post is the oldest
democratic paper in the state of New York, and
one of tie Oldest in the United States lis past
history. we venture to hope. will justify US IN
soliciting from our democratic readers aud fellow
laborers, friendly interest in behalf of journal
which has seen some service in the cause of
democracy.
There a"e many districts of the country where
no democratic paper Of any description is taken,
aud where faithful and intelligent democrats are
not accustomed to see any jouna which advo-
Gates the principles Of their party. I he effect
of this must he gradually TO relax their devotion
to our doctrines, and ultimately TO beget among
them a total Indifference TO the success OF demo
cratic measures. To prevent such a depiorabie
result, and TO facilitate the uuion aud inrigora-
ton of the democratic party. by spreading gen
era 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 hahitually enforced
1t 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 il in Their way to contribute somewhat
to its circulation.
To those unacquainted with is plan and char
ac,er, we beg to submit the following summary:

H. PUBLIC DOCUMENTS of general impor-
tance. reports, messages, official communications,
sc in a fuller manner than they can be given in
any paper not printed in the compact manner Of
the Evening Post.
| III Discussions OF PoLIrIcAL 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
J creed from profound conviction of lis 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 egisa-
ton, 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 monopoies, 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 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.
