mil fatal error if they accept the result Of
he late Presidential election as an indica-
ton from the hand of Destiny 10 relax
their political action until the opening
lthe iexlcampaign. The future welfare
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 extraordi-
nary resources of the Administration for
corruption and cpmpulsion, attests that the
power of the Democracy, on fair field, is
equal TO the vindication 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 misruIe. The balefnl meteor
that fingered in grief while in our political
atmosphere has vanished for ever. War
Democracy hasinlilled its mission of dis.
organization, and like any other pestlence
will be remembered only for the evil it
has done.
The issue now before the people is the
final struggle between Generalization and
Slates' Rights, and no journal is Democrat
ic that is not the devoted champion of
States Rights, the paramount principle OF
the Democratic faith.
The New York News needs no testimony
beyond its plain rInaltersble record 10 sub
siantiate lis claim TO being and having
been the most earnest, able and consistent
States' Rights Journal in the land. We
have no excuses 20 in vent for notifications
Of sentiment, nor have we to plead Eek
pediency" in palIiation of inconsistency.
Our path has been straight forward. Our
columns are before the people, not line
in them that we would cancel nor senli-
ment we would recall, not an assertion
that requires an explanation, not a word
that we regret 10 have uttered, not a 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 do not, however, ask the Democracy
10 sustain Us in our mission as reward
for the service we have done, but in con-
sideralon of the good work that we pro-
pose to do. The New York News for 1865
will pot merely initiate its predecessors, it
will excel them. Ii shall be, mol only the
Iuest exponent Of Democratic principle,
but the best newspaper in the country
Heretofore il has had no superior as a We
hicle of news, hereafter il shall have no
equal. In every departm ent of journalism
we have arranged hat 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 latterly, to compete with il n the publi-
cation OF Soulher1 intelligence, as our
system of exchange with Southern journals
battles the sagaeiiy and enterprise of our
rivals.
A glance at the columns of The News
devoted TO Southern and Northern per-
sonals" will rcmark 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 "PersonsIsp 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 gaddened through
that instrumeniality By words Of affection
aud hope from those mourned for as dead.
The New York News has become so
popular 10 the rural districts that other Me
lropolIian journals, in publishing their
stereotyped boast Of ''ihe largest circula-
lion Of any weekly journal" are constrain>
ed TO make an exception in our favor Il
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 il an Invaluable
companion and assistant 20 the farmer !;
and its Caule, Market and Produce Re-
ports are more relisble and full than those
of any other journal.
The Daily News will forfeit one thou
sand dollars if, in tie above Departm ents,
competent judges should deny ITS superb
