The Democracy Of the North will COM
nit a fatal error ifthey accept the result OF
The late Presidential election as an indioa-
ton from The hand of Destiny 10 telax
,heir political action until the opening Of
the next campaign. The future welfare OF
The republic depends upon the polite q
zeal and activity Of the Democracy during
the year 1865.
The small majority of the popular vote
that elected the Black Republican candi>
dates, cons idered in view of the exiraoFdi-
nary resources of The Administration for
corruption and cpmpulsion, atiesis that the
power of the Democracy, on fair field, s
equal 10 the vindication of Democratic
principles.
There is one feature in the result of the
Presidential election that goes far 10 re

Democracy has fulfilled its mission of dis
organization, and like any other pestlence
will be remembered only for the evil il
has done.
The issue now before the people is the
final struggle between Generalization and
States Rights, and no journal is Democrat
ic that'is not the devoted champion OF
States Rights, the paramount principis oi
the Dem ocratic faith.
The New York News needs no testimony
beyond its plain unallerable record TO sub
stantiate lis claim to being and having
been the most earnest, able and consistent
States Rights Journal in the land. We
have no excuses 10 invent for notifications

Our path has been straight forward. Our
columns are before the people, not line
in them that we would cancel nor senti-
ment we would recall, not an assertion
that requires an explanation, not a word
that We regret 10 have uttered, not 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 DO not, however, ask the Democracy
10 sustain US in our mission as a reward
for he service we have done, but in con-
sideraIion of the good work that we pro.
pose TO do. The Nsw York News for 1865
will not merely initiate it's predecessors, it
will excel them. Ii shall be, nol only the
truesl exponent cf Democratic principle,
but the best newspaper in the country.
Heretofore il has had no superior as a ve-
hicle of news, hereafter ii shall have no
equal. In every deparlm eni of journalism
we have arranged that The News shall dis
lance competition. 1t is the only Demo
cratic newspaper in The metropolis that has
the advantage of publishing a daily issue
with the full dispatches OF the Associated
Press, and therefore its machinery for fur
nishing a compete record of events is
more perfect than that of any of is Demo
cratic contemporaries. None have atem pit
ed atterly, 10 compete with il in the publi-.
cation OF Soulhern intelligence, as our
system of exchange with Southern journals
bafles the ssgacity and enterprise Of our
rivals.
A glance at the columns of The News
devoed TO Southern and Northern per-
sonals" will ark the extraordinary sue
cess that has attended our enterprise in
that direction. We are in daily receipt of
letters expressing the thanks of those who
through the medium of the personals" in
The News, have been enabled to receive
iidings from their friends and relatives in
The South, and the heart of many an exile
and wanderer has been gladdened through
that instrumentality by words of affection
and hope from those mourned for as dead
The New York News has become so
popular 10 the rural districts that other Me-
tropolItan journals, in publishing their
stereotyped boast of ''the largest circula-
lion of any weekly Journal" are constrain-
ed TO make an exception in our favor 1t
is significant circumstance that since the
Presidential election and consequent de-
mise of War Democracy, the subscriptions
10 this paper have been unusually numer-
Gus.
The Agricultural Department OF The
V4rl~ -,
companion and assistant TO the farmer
and It's Caule, Market and Produce Re-
ports are more reliable and full than those
of any other journal.
The Daily News will forfeit one thou
sand dollars if, in the above Dspsrtm enis,
competent judges should deny lis superi.
