TO THE PUBLIC.
HNHE NEW YORK NEWS HAS BATTLED
i against dcspotism for four years of
blood and terror, in assertion of the sane
tity of the Constitution. A patriotism
sufficiently broad to embrace both sections
mas been It's only guide, and it Tcfcrs now
with honest pride to itsrecord to show that
it mas not turned to the right or tho left
under all the violence of arbitrary power
True to its principles as THE NEWS has
| been through the reign of terror, it cllal-
| lcnges public confidence in its honesty and
independence for the future.
The political transition of the present
day opens to THE NEWS new and wider
field OF -'sefulness. Standing now, as it
always Ii on the inviolability of the Con-
stitution, according to the Interpretation OF
the strict construction it presents q
rallying ground for all, in both sections,
who are friends of a generous conservatism.
AS a true and tried exponent of sectional
amity, it occupies position which makes it
the fitting mediator III holding up to the
party cf order, in both sections, interests
rand principles that gave breadth and vi
tally to their alliance. AS an interscc-
tional agent, devoted to freedom of cleo
ton, to trial by jury, to the sanctity OF the
habeas corpus, and opposed now, as for
four years of terror it has been, to the CEN
tralization that darcs to trample on the
/
NEWS places itself as candidate for sup
port before the great body Of this once free
people.
| The circumstances of the moment make
the dissemination of the principles of The
News duty of individual patriotism
| Every man who concurs in its doctrine
must, if Ec entertain true sense of free
| dom, do so il no spirit of Indifference but
rather with the carnestness of high trust
Justified nay bound, in his love of liberty,
to do the proprietorrp.l the canvass he
makes here of the public generally in the
hands of those men who give him tho ap-
proval of their consciences as his individual
agents. Every reader Of The News cannot
avoid the conviction OF duty which is here
pointed out as the ground of the request
that he urges it's claims for a wider support
upon all OF his friends and neighbors who
give their earnest sympathies to the cause
of ''strict construction, 'intersectional con-
ciliation, and all the rights of the citizens
under the system setup by our fathers of
liberty regulated by law The proprietor
and true Conservatives throughout the
country, to discharge, to their convictions
of political right at this great crisis in the
countlys fortunes, the duty of giving to
the influence of his paper, daily semi
weekly or weekly, the wider power for good
which it seeks here through the service of
its individual supporters.
