The Democracy of the North will COM.
mil fatal error if they accept the result OF
the late Presidential election as an indioa-
ton from the hand of Destiny TO relax
iheir political action pntjl the opening of
the next campaign. The future welfare OF
| the republic depends upon the polite
zeal and activity of the Democracy during
the year 1855.
The small majority OF the popular vote
that elected the Black Republican candi,
dates, cons idered in view of the extraordi-
nary resources of the Administration for
corruption and cpmpuIsion, aliests that the
power of the Democracy, on a fair field, is
equal TO The vndication Of Democratic
principles

The New York News needs no testimony
beyond its plain unaherabe record TO sub
sianliate lis claim to being and having
been the most earnest, able and consistent
Stales' Rights Journal in The land. We
have no excuses TO invent for notifications
of sentiment, nor have we 20 pie al Eek

Our path has been straight forward Our
columns are before the people, not a line
In them that we would cancel nor sent-
ment we would recall, not an assertion
that requires an explanation, not a word
that we regret 10 have uttered, not a prin-
ciple advocated that we have not stood by
and will stand by to the last. Such has
been our past record, so will be our future.
We 10 not, however, ask the Democracy
10 sustain US in our mission as a reward
for the service we have done, but in cor
sideraIon OF the good work that we pro-
( pose 10 DO. The Nsw York News for 1865
will not merely initiate its predecessors, it
will excel them. It shall be- nol only the
tuest exponent Of Democratic principle,

system Of exchange with Southern journals
bafies the sagaciiy and enterprise OF our
rivals.
A glance at the columns OF The News
devoted to Southern and Northern per-
