The Democracy of the North will COM
mii fatal error if they accept the result OF
the late Presidential election as an indica-
lion from the hand of Destiny 10 relax
their political action until the opening Of
the next campaign. The future welfate 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 exiraordi-
nary resources of the Administration for
corruption and cpmpulsion, atiesls that The
power of the Democracy, on a fair field, is
equal 10 the yindicalion 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
Repu blican misruIe. 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 pestilence
will be remembered 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
States Rights, the paramount princIple OF
the Dem ocratic faith.
Tie New York News needs no testimony
beyond its plain unallerabIe record 10 sub
sianiiate its claim 10 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 pallaIion of inconsistency.
Our path has been straight forward. Our
columns are before the people, not 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-
cipIe 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 az a reward
for the service we have done, but in con-
sideralion OF the good work that we pro-
pose 10 do. The Nsw York News for 1865
will not merely initiate its predecessors, IL
will excel them. II shall be not only the
tuest exponent cf 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 deparim 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 compete record of events is
more perfect than that of any of lis Dem
cratic contemporaries. None have attempt
ed latterly, 10 compete with ii in the pub-
cation OF Southern intelligence, as our
system of exchange with SonIhen journals
5affles the sagacity and enterprise of OUT
rivals.
A glance al the columns OF The News
devoled 10 "Souhern 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 to receive
tidings 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 Tor as dead
The New York News has become SO
popular in The rural districts that other Me
IropoIltan journals, in publishing their
stereotyped boast of s'the largest circula-
iion OF any weekly journal" are constrain-
ed to make an exception in our favor II
is a significant circumstance that since the
Presidential election and consequent de-
mise OF War Democracy, the subscriptions
10 this paper have been unusually nuner
ous
The Agricultural Department Of The
New York News renders it an Invaluable
companion and assistant to the farmer
and It's Callle, 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 Departm enIs,
competent judges should deny Its superi.
