The New York Day Book.


The Day Book has always stood high
in the estimation of the rebels. They
patronized it literally before the war,
and there are good reasons for believing
that they have afforded it material aid
sa ever since. Their confidence in the
paper is unlimited, and, so far as our OBJ
servation extends, has never been be-
trayed. The paper has labored consist
emily and persistently in their behalf
Before the war, its energies and talents
we're spent in endeavoring to persuade
the American people to bow down and
worship the institution of slavery, and
accept aristoeratic slaye-owners as their
lawmakers and ecutives; since the
war, it has labored just as hard to COM
pei them to submit to the rebels by ere
ating discussions in the Northern States,
fomenting riots, and weakening in every
way the hands of the Government. Of
course its potency for mischief consists
alone in the fact that all it does and
says is done and said in the name of De-
moeracy. Did it not receive the endorse
ment of papers calling themselves Demo
cratic, throughout the country, its
influence would amount to nothing,
the rebels would withdraw their
support-wisely concluding that they
could make a MORE profitable investment
of their money-and the paper would
die. So long, however, as it is recog-
nized as an organ of the Democratic
party, andits leading articles copied with
approval by Democratic papers, we may
v expect it to continue its attacks upon
"a the Government, and disseminate poison
in the minds of the people
..l4,a-e But tits an insult to Democrats who
earn their living by the sweat of their
brows, to quote the sentiments and lam
guage of the Day Book as sound Demo
u e cratic doctrine. 1t is the most unblush
.ssr..r ing advocate of slavery that has ever
disgraced our nation. 1t has gone as
far in its advocacy of the institution Of
- slavery as any of herebels in the South
1t has insisted thatslayery ought not to
be confined to color; but, in 1856
earnestly advocated the enslaving ol
poor AMERICANS, GERMANS and
IRISH, who may fall into poverty and
g-ss be unable to support their families The
