TO THE PUBLIC,

sTHE NEW YORK NEWS HAS BATTLED
l. against despotism for four wears of
blood and terror, in assertion of the sane
4 olty OF the Constitution. A patriotism
sufficiently broad to embrace both sections
mas been its only guide, and it refers now
with honest pride to its record to show that
1T LAS not turned to the right or tho left
Sunder all the violence of arbitrary power
True to its principles as THE NEWS has
been through the reign of terror, it chal-
s.enges public confidence in its honesty and
independence for the future.
The political transition OF the present
sday opens to THE NEWS a new and wider
3neld OF usefulness. Standing now, as ii
5always has, on the inv: liability Of the Con.
stltution, according t" the Interpretation oi
sthe strict construc5io nists, it presents g
srallylng ground for all, in both sections
: who are friends Of generous conservatism
AS q true and tried exponent of sectional
Samlty, it occupies position which makes i,
he fitting mediator in holding up to the
Sparty of order, in both sections, interest.
dlnd principles that gave breadth and vi.
5talltv to their alliance. AS an intersec-
Stlonal agent, devoted to freedom of cleo
5tion. to trial by jury, to the sanceity Of the
S;our years OF terror it has been, to the cen
stralization that dares to trample on tn,
alShts OF States, North or South, THE
sNEWS places itself as a candidate for sup
sport before the great body of this once free

sEvery man who concurs in its doctrine
Snust, II he entertain a true sense of free
Sdom, do so ia no spirit of Indifference, but
Srather with the earnestness of II high trust

5to do So the proprietor places the canvass he
smakes here of the public generally in the
Hands OF those men who give him the ap-
sproval of their consciences rs his individual
agents. Every reader OF The News cannot
5avold the conviction OF duty which is here
Spolnted out as the ground Of the request.

jupon all OF his friends and neighbors who
save their earnest sympathies to the cause
ot strict construction" intersectional con-
sciliation, and all the rights of the citizens
