The Democracy OF the North will COM
nit fatal error if they accept the result OF
the late Presidential election as an indioa-
ZION 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, considered in view of The exiraordi-
nary resources of the Administration for
corruption and cpmpulsion, attesis that the
power OF the Democracy, on fair field, is
equalto the vindication of Democratic
principles.
There is one feature in the result of tha
Presidential election that goes far 10 re

country under four earsr more of Black
Republican misrule. rhe balefuI meteor

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 -
has done.a
The issue now before the people is the
final struqgIe between Generalization and

Slates' Rights, the paramount principle OF
the Democratic faith.
The New York News needs no testimony
beyond lis plain unaltersbIe record 10 sub
stantiate its 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 TO pie ad Eek
pediency" in palliaIion 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 h. ave uttered, not a prin-
ciple advocated that we have not stood by
aud 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-
sideraIion~ OF the good work that we pro.
pose to DO. The Nav York News for 1865
will DOT merely initiate It's predecessors, il
will excel them. 1t shall be. not only the
tfuesI exponent CT Democratic principle,
but the best newspaper in the country.
Heretofore 1t has had no superior as a ve-
hicle of news. hereafter il shall have no
equal. In every department of journalism
we have arranged that The News shall dis
iance 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 It's machinery for fur.
nishing compete record of events is
more perieci than that of any of lis Demo-
cratic poraries. None have attempt
ed lalterly, 10 compete with il in the publi-
cation OF Souiherl intelligence, as our
system of exchange with Southern journals
Saffles the sagacity and enterprise OF our
rivals.
A glance at the columns OF The News
devoted 10 Southern and Northern per-
sonals" will remark the extraordinary sue
cess that has attended our enterprise in
that direction. We are ia daily receipt Of
letters expressing The thanks OF those who
through the medium OF the "Personals" in
The News, have been enabled to receive
tidiDgs from their friends and relatives in
the South, and the heau OF many an exile
and wanderer has been gladdened through
that insirumeutaIity By words of affection
and hope from those mourned for as dead
The New York News has become SO
popular 10 The rural districts that other BE
lropolIlan journals, in publishing their
slereoiyped boast of ''the largest circula-
lion OF any weekly journap are conslrain-
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
10 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

ports are more reliable and full than those
