THE EVENING POST.
Edited BY Hiniam Cullen Bryant and
Pa,ke God,Cia.

The evening Post, now 10 it's sixty fifth |
iesr, having begun with tbis nineteenth !
,entury, has always paintained leading
position among the metropolitan journals.
The fearless and hearty support which
Il has always given to the great principles
Of universal justice and freedom has made
it the almost indispensable companion of
brave and true men, whc are more deeply
in the success of principles and
the progress of humanity than in the tri-
umph of party.
During the war the Evening Post was
one Of the most earnest and vigorous sup
porters of the cause Of the Union; it held
up the hands of our brave soldiers in the
fields, and encouraged the hearts Of our
noble men and women at home every
projec, for pushing on the column had it's
jealous support while it no less jealous
ly lashed and rebuked treason in all its
forms, whether open and courageous as at
the South, or covert and mean, as at the
North.
That great measure of the war partcu'
llarly-the Proclamation of Emancipation
was early welcomed-incessantly urged
and most joyfully approved by it, as the
imperative need Of the times. That other
measure, no less important, the Constilu.
tional Amendment, has found, in the Eve
ming Post, it, latest and most persistent,
as well as its earliest and most earnest ad-
vocate.
AT the same time, with all its enthusi-
asm for liberty and Union, the Evening
Post did not close its eyes to the dangers
of an abuse OF power; it was the enemy
Of all undue exercise of the central author
ity, Of all kinds of political jobbery and
corruption ; it has insisted upon economy
in expenditures and of the strictest ad-
herence to the Constitution. To these
principles the Evening Post Intends to
adhere. Pledged to no party, and look
ing only to the interests Of the whole coun-
