The Democracy of the North will COM
nit fatal error if they accept the result OF
the late Presidential election as an indca-
ton from the hand of Destiny 10 relax
their political action until the opening of
the next campaign. The future welfare of
the republic depends upon the polite
zeal and activity of the Democracy during
the year 1865.
The small majority of the popular vote
that elected the Black Republican candi>
dates, cons Idered in view of the extraordi-
nary resources of the Administration for
corruption and cpmpulsion, attests that The
power OF the Democracy, on a fair field, is
equal 10 The vindicalion of Democratic
principles.
There is one feature in the result of the
Presidential election that goes far 10 re
concile the patriot to the hard fate of his
country under four years more of Black
Republican misrule. Che baleful meteor
that fingered IN grief while in our political
atmosphere has vanished for ever. War
Democracy has fulfilled its mission of dis
organization, and like any other pestiIence
will be emsmbered only for the evil it
has done.
The issue now before the people is the
final struggle between Generalization and
Stales' Rights, and no journal is Democrat
ic that is not the devoted champion Of
Siates' Rights, the paramount Principe OF
the Democra faith.
The New York News needs no testimony
beyond its plain unalterabIe record 10 sub
stantiate lis claim to being and having
been the most earnest, able and consistent
States Rights Journal in the land We
have no excuses to invent for notifications
of sentiment, nor have we 10 pie ad Eek
pediency" in palIiauon of inconsistency
Our path has been straight forward. Our
columns are before the people, not a line
in them that we would cancel nor senti-
ment we would recall, not an assertion
that requires an explanation, not a word
that we regret 10 have uttered, not a prin-
ciple advocated that we have not stood by
and will stand by to the last Such has
been our past record, so will be our future.
We DO not, however, ask the Democracy
10 sustain US in our mission as reward
for the service we have done, but in con-
sideratiou of the good work that we pro-
pose 10 do. The New York News for 1865
will not merely initiate its predecessors, it
will excel them. 1t shall be, not only the
truest exponent cf Democratic principle,
but the best newspaper in the country
Heretofore il has had no superior as a ve-
,. III
equal. In every depaum ent of journalism
we have arranged that the News shall dis
tance competition. 1t is the only Demo.
cratic newspaper in the metropolis that has
the advantage Of publishing a daily issue
with the full dispatches Of the Associated
Press, and therefore its machinery for fur
nishing a complete record of events is
more perfect than that of any of is Demo
cratic cotemporaries. None have attempt.
ed iatterly, 10 compete with it in the publi-
cation oil Southern intelligence, as our
system of exchange with Southern journals
battles the sagacity and enterprise of our
rivals.
A glance at the columns of The News
devofed TO "Southern and Northern per-
sonals0 will remark the extraordinary sue
cess that has attended our enterprise in
that direction. We are in daily receipt of
letters expressing the thanks of those who,
through the medium OF the t'Personals" in
The News, have been enabled to receive
lidings from their friends and relatives in
the South, and the heart of many an exile
and wanderer has been gladdened through
that instrumentality by words of affection
and hope from those mourned for as dead.
The New York News has become so
popular in the rural districts that other Me-
tropoltan journals, in publishing their
stereotyped boast of F'the largest circula-
lion of any weekly journal" are constrain-
ed to make an exception in our favor 1t
is significant circumstance that since the
Presidential election and consequent de-
mise of War Democracy, the subscriptions
10 this paper have been unusually numer-
Gus.
The Agricultural Department OF The
New York News renders it an Invaluable
companion and assistant to the farmer
and its Cattle, Market and Produce Re-
ports are more reliable and full than those
of any other journal.
The Daily News will forfeit one thou
sand dollars if, in the above Departments,
competent judges should deny Its superb
