WHITE SUPREMACY, STATE SOVEREIGNTY
and FEDERAL UNION as the cardinal landmarks
of American Government and Civilization 1t goes
for white men being superior and negroes inferior,
lust as God made them, and il asks every true
who believes this, to work for the OF these
principles. THE DAY-B0OK is TIE ontg paper in
the North that disgctlg takes this position and Wig
orousiy exposes Abolitonism, Miscegenationism,
and every other diabolica ism that is rushing
our country into the horrible vortex Of disgusting
mongreism.
1t is also TIE only weekly made up expressly for
country circulation, the other New J oFk weekles
being reprints from daily papers. II is, therefore,
worth than other papers for every item is spe-
eially prepared for its columns. The news from all
parts Of the world is carefully condensed, forming

bic and expense of reading so many newspapers.
The price OF The DAY-Boo is lower than that of
any paper made up, it is, from original matter.
The superior condensation of news, arrangement OF
articles, &c, make 1t actually worth donoie the
price of weekly in which the matter IS badly ar
ranged and harriedly reprinted from daily.
