Democracy has fulfilled its mission of dis
organization, and like any other pesti euce
will be remembered only for the evil it
has done.
The issue now before the people is The
finsI Struggle between Generalization and
States Rights, and no journal is Democrat l.
ic that is pot the devoted champion of
States Rights, the paramount principls OF
the Democratic faith.
TIE New York News needs no testimony
beyond ITS plain nnaierabIe record 10 sub

been the most earnest, able and consistent
States Rights journal in The land. We
have no excuses TO invent for notifications

Our path has been straight forward. Our
columns are before the people, not a line
in them that we would cancel nor senii-
ment we would recall, not an assertion
that requires an explanation, mol a word
that We regret 10 have uttered, not 2rin-
ciple advocated that we have not stood by

been our past record, so will be our future.

cratic newspaper in The metropolis that has
the advantage of publishing daily issue
with the full dispatches of the Associated

more perfect than that of any of lis De mo-

A glance at the columns Of The News

that direction. We are in daily receipt of
letters expressing the thanks OF those who
through the medium OF the ''Personals" in

lidings from their friends and relatives il
the South, and the heart OF many an exile
and wanderer has been gladdened through
that instrumentality by words OF affection

competent judges should deny lis superb
