NEW YORK AY-BOOK ,
FOR 1865.

The great Presidential contest Of 1854 is over,
but in no sense haze Democratic principles been
decided upon, for lhay have not been in issue
The resolutions OF 1898. defining the rights of
the States and the limits OF the Federal auhori-
Is. and the bred Scott decision, affirming white
citizenship, were both absolutely ignored by the
Chicago Convention. The New York Day Book
has been especially devoted to sustaining these
great fundamental principles OF American democ-
rlcy and civilization. II has sought to explode
the monsrous abolition deluslon Of the day, and
thus by harmonzing the political sentiment Of
the country, render the Union OF the States pos
sible and republican institutions practicable. AS
this is the only way by which the Union can ever
be restored. and as Mr. Lincoln has now made the
question universal. whether the distinctions Of
race shall he abolished, aud four millions Of ne
eroes amalgamated in our system, every man
must take ono side or the other, for Abolition. or
agains: Abolilon: for white citizenship or for
mongreis Tor the preservation OF the fedora
ton Of the States, as il WAS formed or for the
degrade ttion OF the masses and the ruin OF our po-
litcal system. This is the sole. distinct, terrible
issue and if we meet it like true Americans and
honest men, and stand by the Federation OF the
States on the white basis We may restore peace.
union and fraternity to all sections OF the coun-
try, and save democratic Institutions. We there
fore call on the remaining sane men OF the North
to stand ny this glorious position this impassable
barrier to the madness OF the times. and to troWn
down all 'dcmoclatic organs politicians, stump
orators. &c, who seek to dodge it, rs traitors to
democracy, AMI more dangerous to the cause than
the open aud avowed .>bolitonist. The reign OF
principle must be restored, rs it was before cow
ards and C, ruptionsis surrendered IT, or there is
no hope Of rederming our country from The rule
of faction and despotism.
! The Day Book has now Al aggregate CircuLl-
ton OF 50 GOO copies : larger number il is bolicv-
/ ed. than any other weekly Democratic journal
published. II is made up exclusively for weekly
circulation, every article being prepared special
/ ly Tor its columns, not reprinted from a daily
edition. The news trom all parts Of the world
is carefully condensed, forming complete hsio-
~ of the times. 1t also embraces all topics
Agriculture, Commerce, Markets Stories Literl
~ matter, &c.. thus presenting the great indus
trial and working classes cheap and reliable
weekly, containing all they need without the
troublc and expense OF reading many news
papers. We are compelled, on account OF the in
lation OF the currency. to Increase our nominal
rates, but really the price is lower than ever we
furnished the DdyBook, ana IS low as il can pos

Humiliating, but Just.

Some Of our butternut exchanges do
not seem to like the position iu which
their adherents were put in regard to
the celebration of the 4th Of July, they
seeming very generally throug bout tho
country to havo beca expected BY tho
present proprietors Of tho 4th Of July,
to stand back and wait until called. It
must have been humiliating to men who
in the old times made an equal claim to
the glories Of that day, to be put in such
position but man who symputhizcd
with tho rebellion could expect nothing
else, and certainly should not complain.
The rebels themselves, BY State action,
in some cases, formally repudiated tho
4th of July as we'll as Yankee Doodle;
and those who sympathizcd with them,
in so far, gave them aid and comfort
They rclinquiShcd their rights in those
institutions, and if they ever regain
them, it must be by tho suferance and
permission Of those who remained loyal.
In the meantime, it is becoming in them
to stand back. Especially is this tho
case when tho glorious 4th is appropris.
