DAILY, SEMI-WEEKLY AND WEEKLY.
TO THE PUBLIC.

THE NEW YORK NEWS has battled
Il against despotism for four years of
blood and terror, in assertion Of the sane
tity OF the Constitution. A patriotism suf-
ticiently broad to embrace both sections
has been its only guide, and it refers now
with honest pride to its record to show
that 1t has not turned to the right or the
left under all the violence of arbitrary
power. True to its principles as THE
NEWS has been through the reign Of ter
ror, it challenges public confidence in it's
honesty and independence FOR the future
The political transition of the present
day opens to THE NEWS new and wider
field of usefulness. Standing now, as it
always has, on the inviolability Of the
Constitution, according to the interpreta-
tion of the strict constructionists, it pre-
sents rallying ground for all, in both sec
tons, who are friends OF generous con-
servatism. AS true and tried exponent
OF sectional amity, it occupies position
which makes it the fitting mediator in
holding up to the party Of order in both
sections, interests and principles that gave
breadth and vitality to their alliance. Az
an lntersectional agent, devoted to free
dom OF election, to trial by jury, to the
sanctlty OF the hdbedS corpus, and opposed
now, as for four years of terror it has been,
to the Capitalization tnat dares to trample
on the rights Of States, North or South,
THE NEWS places itself as candidate
for support 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 he entertain true sense of free
dom, do 80 in no spirit Of Indifference, but
rather with the earnestness Of high trust
Justifed--nay, bound-in his love Of Gbcr-
ty, to do so, the proprietor places the can
vass he makes here Of the public generally
in the hands Of those men who give him
the approval of their consciences as his in
dividual agents. Every reader Of THE
NEWS cannot avoid the conviction oflduty
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 sympa-
thies to the cause of ''strict construction, -
intersectional conciliation, and all the
rights of the citizens under the system,
set up by our fathers, Of liberty regulated
by law. The proprietor of THE NEWS
calls, therefore, upon good and true con-
servatives throughout the country to dis
chr~gc to their convictions of political
right at this great crisis in the country
fortunes, the duty of giving to the infu-
encc of his paper-daily, semi-weekly or
weckly-the wider power for good which it
seeks here through the service OF it's indi-
vidual supporters.

To Advertisers.

The Mem York Ne,cs is now taken
throughout the Southern States, and the
undisputed fact that it has a larger circu-
lation in the South than the journals of
the New York press combined, will insure
the attention Of the commercial public and
the public generally.
Advertisers now ayailing themselves OF
the opportunity to make known their busi-
ness through the columns of The Ne,o
York Ne,os. are convinced Of the impor-
tance of it's great circulation throughout
the South, in consequence of the large
orders received by them, certify to the
value of this journal as the best medium
for advertising, and the public generally
depending upon publicity to secure an ex-
tension OF business commensurate with
enterprise, should not fail to become ac-
quainted with the unquestionable advan-
tages to be derived from announcing,
through the columns Of this popular jour
nal, whatever relates to commercial or
financial matters, no matter what may be
the particular business in which any party
may be- engaged. Address

AssSTuDY" OF BoNNErs. The Paris
correspondent of the London Iele-
graph writes: s'The onegreat object
of my admiration in Paris is the bon
net-its ever-changing shape, its
splendor, its disappearance, and its
dark days of nothingness.' What do
you think bonnets were yesterday?
Not crepe, nor tulle, nor silk, nor
satin, nor velvet, nor straw. No,
nothing but flowers. I saw one lady
with'a bonnet of daisies, and another
who had on her head handful of
lilies of the valley, festooned with
green ribbon. If it really is any
thing, bonnet can scarcely be less
than few lilies of the valley, which
at Florence would cost half q Paul.
Another lady had a wreath OF wall
flowers"

The city Election.

One week from to-day-on the 22d
inst-we are to elect city officers for the
ensuing year. AS yet no other prepare
ton seems to have been made for the
election than the nomination of candi-
dates. Nominations are, or ought to
be, but preliminary to the work of a
canvass. We do not, or certainly
should not, content ourselves with sit
ting up nominees like so many ten
pins in an alley, TO be targets for the
enemy, and left without all proper aid
aud assistance from every voter in the
Union party.
1t is time we had thorough organi-
Zltion for the election in every ward. II
IS time a complete poll of the vote was
prepared, and thatthe duties belonging
10 the leading and most active men OF
each ward were thoroughly canyassed
and assigned. We hope thatthe Union
strength in tho third, fourth and sixth
isnot to be caught mapping this time as
il was last October, by reason of its
ever confidence and supineness. Those
who proceed on the basis of figures
from one election to another, irrespec-
tive of work and organization, are very
unreliable guides-very poor instru-
lnentalities in an election. Figures
from year to year are nothing in mat
t,rs political and municipal, but real
1aborious activity is everything. Will
our Union men In each ward see that
10 precious time is lost? tits full time
low that they should be counselling to-
eether and laying out a programme OF
every day work from now until the
election. Union friends let us begin
atonce. Every man to take his part
and do his duty.

The NEW YoRK HOME JOURNAL
We have often occasion to quote this
excellent and readable weekly, and few
papers come to our office so full of in
teresting matter, whether extended in
the form of stories and essays or con-
densed in pointed and sprightly para
graphs. BY the advertisements, in an
other column, it will be seen that the
programme for 1865 is very brilliant,
and from a long experience of its past
performances, We can have no doubt its
present promises will be rigidly kept.
The merits of the Journal only need TO
be generally known to be cordially re
cognized. The paper under its efficient
management, takes its rightful place
among the most extensively circulating
weeklies in the country. Inadditton to
the general attractiveness of its matter,
10 has a marked individuality, which
Discriminate it from all it rivals, and
makes It emphatically the Home jour

RATHER n startling development or
charge was made last week in the
United States Senate, namely, that men
are engaged in kidnapping and trims
porting negroes to Cuba and Brazil, to
selIthem into slavery. There have been
II good many discussions in the south
boutreopening the African slavetrade.
But we do not remember that any one
over contemplated the contingency oil
the expectation OF negroes from the
south to supply the slave pens OF Cuba
and Brazil. Yet we have no doubt that
there are men enough ready to engage
in the Ubiquitous traffic. The voyage
from the Gulf States, and especially
from Florida, to Cuba, can be so easily
and quickly made, and the prices paid
there for slaves are so enormous, that
the temptation to undertake the villain
Gus work is great. js-

Mn. GREELEY has been to Washington
and reports thnt there need be and prob
ably will bo no breach between the
President and Congress. The President,
he says, desires the restoration of the
States to their former position in the
Union and in Congress. The members
desire, he states, that tho whitewashed
rebels shall not repudiate tho debt or
impose the rebel debt on us, or in gem
cral gain by restoration what they lost
by secession, and furthermore, they de-
HIre to shield the freedmen from oppres-
sion. Mr.. Greeley thinks these ends
and aims compatible.
