THE new YORK DAY-B00K,
For 1864.
Devoted to White Mems Liberties, State
s. Rights, and Federal Union.

( After suppression of two years, caused by its
arbitrary exclusion from the mails, during which
time the publishers have issued another paper,
(The Caucasian,) The New York Weekly Day
Book again makes its appearance, in its old form
as double sheet with fortyeight columns of
reading matter. In all respects whether for
Markets, News, Literary or Agricultural infor
nation it intends not to be inferior to any similar
journal. AS to its political department, it claims
10 grapple boldly with the real question before
the American People. and to present the only
philosophy of it which can resist the sweepin 2
march Of Abolitionsm.
To all who believe the Day-Book will be instru-
mental in pulling the scales from the eyes of any
now blinded by its false teachings. and thus aid
in restoring fraternity and Re Union, we appeal
for aid in extending its circulation. The enlarg-
ed sheet nearly doubles our expenses. The price
is as low as can possibly be afforded. Shall we
not therefore, next year, have $4,000 or 100000
subscribers, instead of 10000? We ask each
friend of true liberty to do what his conscience
tells him he ought to do. and the result will, we
are sure, be satisfactory to Having for seve-
raj years published the only Democratic daily
paper in New York that supported itself indie
pendent OF all party factions and being thus in
dependent still. and meaning to remain so, we
believe The Day-Book will commend itself to the
confidence and support of the people as faithful
and impartial to all interests and as true ex-
| ponent Of all the great issues now pressing upon
| the People for decision The country stands in
pressing want of such Journal, and those fami-
liar with the principles we have always sustained,
will need no assurance that The Day-Book will,
in the future, in the past, never swcrve either
through fear or favor, from defense of the rights
of the People, and steady and relentless oppO-
sition to every form of tyranny, and more especi-
ally to that peculiar phase of it which under the
pretcnse of comforting an impossible freedom on
negroes seeks to rivit the chains of real slavery
| upon white men.
Owing to the great advance in all the materials
used in printing, we are compelled to slightly in
crease our rates. We believe our subscribers
prefer good paper, perfect in all its departments,
and will cheertuy meet the slight advance which
the unusual expansion OF the currency neces-
sitatts.

The ShoddY Plague.

''Nor' wester," in letter from New York
to the Boston Post, says: These pleasant
afternoons (for we have such now and tbeu)
bring out swarms of shoddy bought equipa>
ges, with liveried coachmen and foomen
rainbow hued blankets, panels resplendent
with varnish and vermillion, and ludicrousy
bedenzened with imitation heraIdry. 1t is a
sad sight to look upon, these apings of aris-
tocracy, these aspirations after position del
MED them by nature, and not to be wrested
from respectable society simply because the
aspirant is suddenly rich and wants recogni-
tion. New York never before was SO full Of
social shame, wealthy vulg riy, conceited
contractors wives, and purse proud Potphars
Like the lice and frogs of Egypt they find
their WY into every place and jostle aside
their betters. without saying as much as 10y
"your leave" Central Park, the opera, thea
tres, concert rooms, galleries, side walks and
in short every other concei, able spot, seem
coored over with this colored vaneering. -
Old time responsibility, whether of name or
nature creeps back within its she'll, shudder-
ing at the approach of this new order of So
cial porcupines. AS one gazes upon the picl
ture Of the thousands enriched in day by
preying upon the government, of piltelng
from the soldiers, at time, too, when the
nations life is in the scale, it is difficult to
refrain from quoting Madame Roland: oh!
