The Democracy OF the North will conn
nit a fatal error If they accept the result OF
he late Presidential election as an indics-
ton from the hand of Destiny 10 relax
their political action until the opening o
,,ilne next campaign. The future welfare o
the republic depends upon the politics
zeal and activity of the Democracy during
the year 1865.
The small majority of the popular vote
that elected the Black Republican candi-
daies, considered in view of the extraordi-
nary resources of The Administration for
corruption and cpmpulsion, aitesis that the
power OF the Democracy, on fair field, is
equal 10 the vindicalion of Democratic
principles.
There is one feature in the result OF the
PRESIDENTIAL election that goes far To re
concile the patriot TO the hard fate of hi
country under four years more of Black
Republican misrnle. che baleful meteor
that fingered ~ grief while in our political
atmosphere has vanished for ever War
Democracy has fulfilled its mission of dir
organization, and like any other pestiIence
will be remembered only for the evil il
has done.
The issue now before the people is the
final struggle between Generalization and
Slales' Rights, and no journal is Democrat
ic that is not the devoted champion of
States Rights, the paramount Principe oil
the Democratic faith.
The New York News needs no testimony
beyond its plain unalIerable record 10 sub
stanliate 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 tex-
pediency" in pallialion 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 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 10 not, however, ask the Democracy
10 sustain US in our mission as reward
for the service we have done, but in con-
sIderalion OF the good work that we pro.
pose TO do. The Nav York News for 1865
will not merely initiate its predecessors, it
will excel them. Ii shall be- not only the
truest exponent Of Democratic principle,
but the best newspaper in The country
Heretofore II has had no superior as ve-
hicle of news. hereafter il shall have no
equal. In every deparm 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 lis Demo
cratic contemporaries. None have attempt.
ed lalterly, 10 compete with il in the pubIi-
cation OF Southern intelligence, as our
system of exchange with Southern journals
5affies the sagacry and enterprise of our
rivals.
A glance at the columns Of The News
devoted TO "Southern and Northern per-
sonals" 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 personals" in
The News have been enabled 10 receive
lidines from their frienGs and relatives 10
the South, and the hean 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
tropolitan journals, in publishing their
stereoiyped boast of ''the largest circula-
lion OF any weekly journaI'' are constants
ed 10 make an exception in our favor II
is significant Circumstance that since the
Presidential election and consequent de-
mise OF War Democracy, the subscriptions
TO this paper have been unusually numer-
Gus.
The Agricultural Department OF The
New York News renders ii an Invaluable
companion and assistant TO the farmer
and It's 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 il, in the above Depsrtm enIs,
competent judges should deny It's super.
ority.
